Honesty over hope

The trading platform that tells you the truth.

Strix automates execution with guardrails, grades every strategy honestly — walk-forward, after real costs, A to F — and refuses to let hope trade your money. We killed our own three best strategy ideas with evidence, and published how. That discipline is the product.

The record so far

Most trading products show you a winning backtest. We show you our lab notebook — including the kills.

2 of 3

Strategy kills published in full. Three serious candidates have been honestly falsified — pre-registered, costed, independently re-validated; two of those write-ups are linked below. The third candidate’s verdict is recorded internally and not yet published.

277 / 277

Green runs in a 12-day live soak, $0 risked. Two different gates did two different jobs: the funding-regime gate kept the market-neutral carry book flat, and the grade gate kept the directional model locked out of live trading.

Frozen out-of-sample hold-out that nothing may touch until it survives the gauntlet.

One platform, honest features

Everything ships behind the grade gate: a strategy that grades F cannot trade live, no matter how good its marketing would have looked.

Why trust us? Because we publish our failures.

In 2026 we pointed four AI agents — from three different vendors, with an adversarial skeptic among them — at the search for a real trading edge. They found three attractive candidates and honestly killed all three: one was a universe-selection artefact, one drowned in execution costs, one never had an edge at all. The first two kills are written up in full, with the numbers, on the blog; the third is still in the internal record.
