IN PROGRESS2026 - ONGOING

Modern-Era Trend Following in Global Futures

QuestionDoes systematic trend following continue to generate economically meaningful returns in modern futures markets, and how has its performance changed across time, market structure, volatility regimes, and implementation assumptions?

Research area
Futures · Trend Following · Portfolio Construction
Frequency
Daily data, monthly signal evaluation and rebalancing

Methods

Non-overlapping monthly returnsSign and magnitude regressionsNewey–West inferenceTwo-way clustered standard errors+6 more

Current statusWork in progress. The design separates gross predictability, portfolio construction, and implementation cost so that any change in results can be attributed to a specific cause rather than to the strategy as a whole.

IN DEVELOPMENTNOV 2025 - ONGOING

Multi-Broker Trading Analytics and Risk Dashboard

QuestionCan positions, trades, cash flows, and account values from several brokerage accounts be consolidated into one auditable daily NAV series and a consistent set of portfolio performance and risk metrics?

Research area
Trading Infrastructure · Portfolio Construction
Frequency
Daily, with intraday position refresh

Methods

Daily NAV reconstructionTime-weighted return constructionCash-flow separationBroker reconciliation and break reporting+1 more

Current statusA private analytics system in development. The core problem is accounting discipline: separating trading performance from capital flows, and reconciling every derived number back to a broker record.

Slow Diffusion of Information in NSE Stocks

QuestionDo returns in NSE-listed stocks display evidence of slow information diffusion, and can delayed price response help explain subsequent return continuation?

Research area
Equities · Momentum · Statistical Research
Frequency
Daily data, monthly portfolio formation and rebalancing

Methods

Cross-sectional portfolio sortsPanel regressions with controlsTwo-way clustered standard errorsNewey–West inference+3 more

Current statusWork in progress. The design tests continuation while controlling for liquidity and size, so that a diffusion interpretation is not confused with a liquidity premium.

PLANNEDPlanned

Machine Learning and Textual Information for Trend Research

QuestionCan textual information improve the timing, filtering, or interpretation of systematic trend signals beyond what price, volatility, and liquidity variables already provide?

Research area
Machine Learning · Statistical Research · Futures
Frequency
[FREQUENCY TO CONFIRM]

Methods

Preregistered hypotheses and specificationPrice-only baseline as the comparisonWalk-forward evaluationNested cross-validation for hyperparameters+2 more

Current statusPlanned only. No tests have been run. This page is a preregistration-style statement of intent, hypotheses, and overfitting controls, published before any results exist.

REPLICATIONOct 2025 — Feb 2026

Reproducing a Canonical Time-Series Momentum Baseline

QuestionCan a canonical 252-trading-day trend-following baseline be implemented independently in two systems and reconciled at daily return level, and where do the remaining differences come from?

Research area
Futures · Reproducibility · Trend Following
Frequency
Daily

Methods

Specification-first implementationDaily return reconciliationDifference attribution by componentTolerance thresholds and break reports+1 more

Current statusThe reconciliation is the deliverable. Its value is in identifying which specification details must be stated precisely for a published trend result to be reproducible at all.
