What the dataset actually looks like
Not a track record. A complete distribution of how 2,319 people behave with real money under identical, machine-enforced constraints — including everyone who failed.

What they trade
How long they hold
Built for three kinds of fund
Different reasons to need trading capacity. The same answer: selected traders, supplied fast, with the risk on terms you set.
You've just launched
Hiring a portfolio manager takes months, a search fee, and a guarantee. A shadow book from us takes a week and costs nothing.
Run selected traders on your own infrastructure while the hiring process runs in parallel. No seats, no severance, no headcount.
Your book is concentrated
Short-duration FX, indices and metals, sourced from a population your recruiting never reaches. Intraday holds and a different talent pool make a return stream unlikely to resemble your equity exposure.
The pipeline passed you by
Every multi-strategy platform recruits from the same few thousand people in the same few cities. We put 2,319 traders on live risk this year from Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Germany and beyond — none of whom appear in that pipeline.
The platform is opening to algorithmic and AI-driven strategies, and the behavioural dataset behind it is available to build on.
A fund's return is capped by arithmetic
New uncorrelated strategies are scarce because the industry recruits from a closed network. And every strategy has a size beyond which returns degrade, so more capital into the same book doesn't produce more return.
Traders queue to be hired. Independent return streams don't. That's what a screening funnel of thousands produces that a recruiter can't.
Because our traders pay to be evaluated rather than the other way round, a failed account is a commercial event for us, not a reputational one. Every failure stays in the data. We hold the complete distribution of how several thousand people behave under identical, machine-enforced constraints — not a curated sample of the ones who worked out.
How a first engagement works
Small, buyer-controlled, and designed so that being wrong costs you nothing.
Shadow book
Selection rules fixed in writing before day one. You see every position we would have taken, scored on your execution assumptions. No capital at risk.
Cost to you: nothingSmall live test
Sized so being wrong is immaterial. Your custody, your execution, your risk limits, a kill switch you hold unilaterally. Weekly reporting, daily position transparency.
First allocation: $1–5MScale or stop
What result justifies scaling and what result ends it — agreed in writing before the test starts, not argued afterwards. Performance share only, over a hurdle with a high-water mark.
No management fee. No onboarding fee.
