FAQ

How does VARRD prevent overfitting?

VARRD uses out-of-sample testing that's permanently locked after one test, K-tracking to count every test variant, Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons, and vectorized embeddings to detect duplicate hypotheses.

Can I test my own trading ideas?

Yes, VARRD provides a research tool where you can input any trading idea, which will be converted into a quantitative formula and tested statistically with proper guardrails.
