01 / The philosophy

Give me a
place to stand.

Markets are non-stationary and chaotic. Archimedes is designed to adapt its decisions as the relationships between price, liquidity and volatility change.

Archimedes pairs a proprietary, regime-aware time-series Transformer with an adaptive, unsupervised exit engine. It reads trend, range and volatility before deciding how to enter, size, hold and exit a position.

Each preview strategy is a portfolio of complementary long and short sub-strategies, spanning trend, mean-reversion and volatility regimes, with upgraded shorting capability relative to earlier engines such as Hackworth.

02 / The engine

Intelligence at
every decision.

From reading the market to managing the last fill, Archimedes brings prediction, portfolio construction and execution into one adaptive system.

/01

A Transformer that reads the regime

Tensor’s custom architecture conditions forecasts on whether the market is trending up, trending down or ranging. The same price pattern can mean different things in different market states.

/02

An adaptive exit engine

A proprietary, lightweight unsupervised model continuously re-evaluates open positions. Across the preview strategies, 72–83% of exits were model decisions rather than stop-loss triggers.

/03

2,000+ engineered features

Curated inputs span price action, market microstructure, volatility and cross-asset context, giving the model a broad view of the state it is trading.

/04

Complementary long and short books

Each strategy combines directional, mean-reversion and volatility sleeves, with balanced long/short exposure and improved shorting capability relative to earlier engines such as Hackworth.

/05

Deep-RL execution on Hyperliquid

A deep reinforcement learning execution layer uses dynamic TWAP to slice orders, accelerating when liquidity is deep and backing off when it is thin.

/06

Signal-level benchmarking

Every sub-strategy is evaluated independently through standalone Sharpe, parameter perturbations, trade bootstraps, matched-control exit benchmarks and year-by-year stability checks.

03 / The preview strategies

Four markets.
One standard.

Four frozen portfolios, evaluated under the same protocol. Explore the historical results, then open each strategy for its equity curve and benchmark findings.

Sharpe ratioReturn relative to risk. The preview series spans 2.89–3.87.

Maximum drawdownThe largest peak-to-trough decline in the account’s value during the backtest.

Win rateThe share of trades that closed profitably.

Profit factorGross profits divided by gross losses. A factor of 1.50 means gross profits were 150% of gross losses.

BENCHMARK HIGHLIGHTS

  • Equity indexed from 100% to 1,609% over the research period, across rising, falling and flat markets.
  • At a one-hour horizon, model exits avoided further losses in 56% of 1,743 matched cases. The brochure reports a confidence interval entirely below zero for the subsequent returns of closed positions.
  • All signals exceeded standalone Sharpe 1.0 (range 1.12–2.15). Resampling checks supported consistency across historical trade samples.

CONSISTENCY & ROBUSTNESS

  • All sub-strategies were profitable in 2024 and 2025; most were profitable in 2026 to date.
  • Parameter tests demonstrated robustness under the tested stress conditions.
  • 80% of exits were model decisions rather than stop-loss triggers.

04 / The proving ground

Edge, examined
signal by signal.

A strong portfolio result is only the beginning. Each selected sub-strategy signal was evaluated independently.

  1. Standalone edge

    Each signal exceeded a standalone Sharpe ratio of 1.0.

  2. Matched-control exits

    Model exits were compared with matched “what if we held” controls to measure the value of closing the position.

  3. Parameter perturbation

    Parameter tests demonstrated robustness under the tested stress conditions.

  4. Trade bootstrap

    Trade histories were resampled to assess whether results remained consistent across different historical samples.

  5. Time stability

    Every sub-strategy was re-scored year by year, covering 2024, 2025 and 2026 to date.
