About

Institutional quant research, applied to crypto.


AX Quantitative is a proprietary trading team building intraday systematic strategies on crypto perpetual futures. Our research process and risk discipline are inherited from the institutional quantitative trading world — adapted for the structure of crypto markets.

Background

Built on traditional quant.

The team's background is rooted in traditional quantitative trading. We previously worked on mid-frequency equity statistical arbitrage and managed-futures programs — experience that shapes how we think about signal construction, execution, and risk.

We apply the same standards to crypto: research-driven signal generation, rigorous out-of-sample validation, and explicit risk budgets at every level of the book.

Philosophy

What we believe.

01

Edges are structural

Durable returns come from structural inefficiencies in market microstructure and behavior.

02

Risk is the product

Targeted volatility, controlled drawdowns, and dynamic exposure scaling define the strategy as much as the signals do.

03

Out-of-sample discipline

No signal enters production without rigorous walk-forward validation. Overfitting is the primary risk in systematic research.
