Systematic strategies · Honest numbers · Live scoreboard

Strategies earn their grade before they earn your capital.

Kairos hunts for repeatable edges in price, volume, and time — then makes them prove it. Every strategy gets a report card: graded A–F, net of costs, side by side with the S&P 500. Watch them compete on a dashboard you can rearrange like your desk, and see exactly where the edge is — and where it isn't.

The method

Signal. Proof. Discipline.

Three jobs, cleanly separated — so a good idea gets room to shine and a bad one has nowhere to hide.

01 — SIGNAL

The market draws the map

Strategies read the footprints the market leaves behind: opening ranges, momentum bursts, mean reversion, volume. Rules in, trades out — every entry is repeatable, testable, and explainable.

02 — PROOF

Graded like it's your money

Every strategy carries a live score built from expectancy, profit factor, drawdown, and consistency — net of costs, always next to the index. You can spot a winner (or a dud) from across the room.

03 — DISCIPLINE

Risk gets the last word

Position caps, daily loss limits, and a kill switch sit outside the strategies. They can ask for trades — they can never bend the rules. That's what lets you sleep while the system works.

Radical transparency

We publish drawdowns, not dreams.

✓The index rides along in every chart. Day, week, month — your numbers sit right next to the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow, so "are we actually winning?" never needs asking twice.
✓Net of costs, always. Every figure already includes commissions and slippage — what you see is what you'd keep.
✓Grades move in the open. When a strategy decays it gets downgraded and retired, right on your dashboard — you watch it happen, not read about it later.
✓Zero story-stock pitches. No hot takes, no headlines, no hunches. Just price, volume, and time doing the talking.

Speak the language

Four numbers tell the whole story.

Learn these once and you can read every card on the platform — they're printed on the front of each strategy, never buried in a footnote.

expectancy: Your average profit per trade, after costs. The number that compounds — and the first one we look at.
profit_factor: Gross wins ÷ gross losses. Above 1.0 the game pays you to play; the further above, the better the edge.
max_drawdown: The deepest dip a strategy has ever lived through — printed up front, because you'd want to know.
green_days: How many sessions end positive. Consistency you can feel day to day, not just at year-end.

The gate

Every strategy runs the gauntlet.

Backtest → paper → live. Promotion is earned with data, demotion is automatic, and you get a front-row seat to all of it.

Stage 1

Backtest

Months of intraday history, net of costs, walk-forward validated. Only A/B grades that beat the benchmark move on — the rest go back to the lab.

Stage 2

Paper gate

Sixty-plus sessions on live market data with zero dollars at risk. The live numbers have to match the backtest, or it's back to stage one.

Stage 3

Live, governed

Real capital under hard risk caps, a daily circuit breaker, and continuous re-grading. The kill switch never sleeps — so you can.
