Research. Test. Trade.
LocusML documents the journey from backtested machine-learning models to live market execution.
We share weekly trade signals, live performance updates, quantitative research, machine-learning concepts, strategy development, and the lessons learned along the way.
Research
Quantitative research and machine-learning concepts — feature engineering, model design, and the ideas behind every edge we chase.
Test
Rigorous backtesting and out-of-sample validation. Nothing reaches the market until the data earns it across years of history.
Trade
Live execution with real capital, real risk, and full transparency — including the wins, the losses, and the lessons in between.
Take real machine-learning models all the way from backtest to live markets — in the open.
Most trading content shows you the highlight reel. We document the whole process: the research, the testing, the live results, and what we learn when real capital is on the line.
Built in public, week by week.
Weekly trade signals
The setups our models flag each week, before the market resolves them.
Live performance updates
How the book is actually doing — tracked openly, not curated after the fact.
Quantitative research
The data work and statistics behind the strategies we run.
Machine learning concepts
How we frame markets as ML problems — features, labels, and models.
Strategy development
Building, breaking, and refining systems from idea to live deployment.
Lessons learned
The honest takeaways from running real money in live markets.
Aaron & Josh.
Two builders turning markets into a machine-learning problem — and trading the result live, transparently.
Aaron
Aaron studied accounting before discovering a passion for data, which inspired him to pivot and pursue a career at the intersection of finance and technology. He has since worked as a data scientist and AI engineer, and is now channeling that experience into his ultimate ambition: becoming a quant. His trading system project is a direct expression of that journey — built with genuine passion and purpose.
Josh
Josh is a mechanical engineer who has spent his career in the oil and gas industry. His engineering experience has instilled in him a philosophy of challenging the status quo — a relentless drive to always be improving. It's that same mindset that fuels his deep interest in the financial markets, where the process of moving from backtesting to live implementation mirrors the rigor and discipline of engineering itself.
