JPTC Research Team

Strategy validation and market research team

About

The JPTC Research Team runs and documents strategy tests, broker-terminal validation, out-of-sample checks and rejection studies. It separates exploratory simulation from customer-facing validation and publishes limitations alongside findings.

What this team covers

Evidence standard

A research finding states its data source, window, execution assumptions, sample size and failure criteria. Rejected strategies remain rejected and are not repackaged as customer evidence.
