Optimal Strategies Group partners with hedge funds to design, backtest, and automate mathematical and physics-based trading systems — with institutional-grade risk controls built in from the first line of code.
Models grounded in stochastic calculus, statistical inference, and physical analogues — not curve-fitting or intuition.
Strategies delivered as production systems — backtested, version-controlled, and execution-ready — not spreadsheets.
Drawdown limits, exposure caps, and regime detection embedded in the core of every system from day one.
We translate rigorous mathematical and physical models into automated strategies. Every system begins as a hypothesis with a sound theoretical basis, is validated through disciplined backtesting, and is engineered for live execution with risk controls inseparable from the signal.
Mean-reverting processes and cointegration models to identify and harvest temporary dislocations across correlated instruments and pairs.
Dynamic estimation of latent factors and hedge ratios in real time, separating durable signal from market noise.
Regime-aware models that adapt positioning and risk as the market transitions between volatility and liquidity states.
Methods drawn from statistical physics — diffusion processes, lattice dynamics, and interacting-agent systems — applied to price formation and flow.
We work as an extension of your team — from the first whiteboard derivation to a monitored system trading inside your infrastructure.
Hypothesis development, model derivation, and feature engineering grounded in quantitative theory.
Rigorous historical simulation with transaction costs, slippage, and out-of-sample and walk-forward testing.
Production-grade systems for signal generation, order routing, and automated execution.
Position sizing, drawdown controls, exposure limits, and regime-based de-risking integrated into the strategy.
Deployment into your existing data, brokerage, and infrastructure — your prime broker, your venues, your controls.
Live performance monitoring, model decay detection, and continuous refinement as markets evolve.
A structured, transparent path from idea to deployed system — with your team involved and your risk parameters respected at every stage.
We map your mandate, markets, infrastructure, and risk constraints.
Models are derived, then validated on historical data with realistic costs.
The strategy is engineered into a tested, production-ready system.
Controls, limits, and regime logic are layered around the core signal.
We deploy into your environment and monitor for decay and drift.
Tell us about your mandate and the edge you're pursuing. We'll respond with a confidential, no-obligation conversation about whether a custom systematic strategy is a fit.
