Capital is added gradually, and only for strategies that hold their hull.
Live behaviour against expected behaviour. Divergence is investigated, not swept away by the current.
Small capital, tight limits, a defined scope of venues and instruments. A shallow dive.
Connectivity, execution logic, monitoring. An idea that cannot be built watertight is not a strategy.
Data, statistics, cost and slippage assumptions. Pressure-testing against the conditions that crush things, not the ones that float easily.
An idea with an economic current behind it. Who is on the other side, and why does this anomaly exist?
Most ideas end before they reach the deep. That is what the airlock is for.
The same route every time, whether the blueprint comes from inside our firm or from a team we work with.
