FINETIQ IDEAS

Walk-throughs of research on algorithmic trading: full translation, a recount of the reported numbers, testable ideas.

What this is

We read preprints and journal articles, translate them in full and recompute the reported numbers from the paper's own tables. Formulas are explained symbol by symbol and on examples, so no mathematical background is required.

How to use it

Start with the trust level and the section on discrepancies: it says which of the paper's numbers hold and which do not. Testable ideas sit at the end of every walk-through and can be checked on your own data. We do not rehost originals; every paper carries a link.
