ResearchLabs is an autonomous quant research firm. We scout, walk-forward backtest, and forward paper-trade trading strategies — and only the ones that clear a deflated-Sharpe, multi-regime, out-of-sample gate ship to live trading, delivered exclusively to ImbaTradeLabs.
Methodology shown below · individual strategies and performance are private.
A closed loop — generation to live drift. No survivorship bias, no curve-fit theater.
LLM scouts + human contributors propose strategies, each with a falsifiable hypothesis.
Rolling out-of-sample folds across multiple assets and trending / ranging / volatile regimes.
Deflated Sharpe, profit factor, drawdown, fold-pass-rate, SPA reality-check.
30-day forward paper-trade window before anything ships.
Survivors become heroes with a full report and signed delivery to our partner.
Live PnL feeds drift detection; decayed heroes auto-retune through the same gate.
Most "winning" backtests are overfit. These are the kinds of criteria a strategy must clear — all of them, out-of-sample — before it earns the word hero.
Penalized for the number of strategies tried — kills cherry-picking.
Must hold across trending / ranging / volatile regimes.
Rolling walk-forward folds, majority profitable.
Bootstrap test that the Sharpe isn't luck.
Fixed-fractional sizing controls the worst case.
Fees, slippage, and funding modeled on every trade.
Every hero we promote is leased exclusively to ImbaTradeLabs — our sole live-trading partner. Strategy logic, holdings, and performance are proprietary and are never published here. What you see on this page is our methodology, not our positions.

Partner sign inDifferent edges, same honest gate.
Systematic entry/exit logic across multiple assets and timeframes. Walk-forward, multi-regime, fixed-fractional sizing — shipped to live trading.
Forecasters scored on realized outcomes via a forward paper-trade lane — disciplined sizing, judged on real ROI, not backtest fantasy.
We work with a select set of contributors. If your strategy survives walk-forward and clears the gate, it ships to live trading — with your name on it.
