Quantitative Crypto Trading

Most crypto edge is curve-fit hope.
Ours has to survive proof.

CRYNOMAD runs three uncorrelated trading engines — market-neutral alpha, delta-neutral carry, and volatility income — plus a free AI signal service. Each is tested forward and out-of-sample, through LUNA and FTX. The ones that don't hold up never get capital.

Three rules we don't bend

01

Proof before capital

A strategy must show a positive, out-of-sample edge before a dollar is deployed. We don't dress up a backtest and call it a track record.

02

We lead with drawdown

Sizing starts from the loss we can tolerate, not the return we'd like. Risk control isn't a footnote here — it's the product.

03

Uncorrelated by design

Market-neutral, carry, and volatility-income engines don't break at the same time. Diversification built into the design, not hoped for after the fact.

Every strategy runs the same gauntlet

Most ideas don't make it through. That's the point — the filter is the edge.

STEP 01

Hypothesis

An economic reason it should work — not a pattern that happened to fit.

STEP 02

Out-of-sample walk-forward

Parameters chosen only from the past, then tested on data the model never saw.

STEP 03

Stress test

Forced through LUNA, FTX, and 2024's spikes — judged on the worst, not the average.

STEP 04

Forward test

Live market, real time, execution-faithful fills — before any capital is at risk.

STEP 05

Live capital

Staged in — smallest size first, scaled only as the live record earns it.

Selection happens in steps 02–03. By the time a strategy reaches capital, it has already survived the worst of the last six years — including the two events that wiped out most of the market.

Four strategies. Different edges, different risks.

Three trading engines and a free AI signal service. By design, they don't rise and fall together — each has its own entry on the track record: the edge it captures, the execution approach, and how it was validated.

Technical approach and validation stage for each — on the track record.

We show where each edge can break.

Each strategy on the track record is labeled by how far it has cleared validation — paper, forward test, live. No hindsight, no survivorship edits. The point of all the validation isn't to promise you won't lose; it's to make sure the edge is real before we risk anything on it.

Risk disclosure. CRYNOMAD strategies are at varying stages (forward test / paper / live), each labeled accordingly. Concrete performance is shared individually with qualified investors on request — not published here. Cryptocurrency trading carries significant risk, including the total loss of capital.
