Every research project, with its status stated plainly.
Completed work, ongoing analysis, replication studies, and planned research are all listed here and clearly distinguished. Preliminary work is never presented as final.
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?

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.
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?

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

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

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.
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?

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.
