How we compare program versions
Our research runs in campaigns that can contain thousands of tests of different configurations. We distinguish data used to train models, data consulted when choosing between them and data reserved for later evaluation. The work helps determine which versions to keep or discard and what still needs testing before proceeding.
- Generate and combinePrepare different versions of the trading programs and keep each version.
- Compare on equal termsCompare gains, losses and trading frequency; check whether models lose on the same days.
- Choose the next testKeep failed results and separate previously used data from new observations.
Thousands of trials do not amount to thousands of ready or independent strategies. Different versions can share models or data; testing them again on the same data does not provide a new independent evaluation. The public case below shows why higher profit does not necessarily mean lower drawdown. Profit improves. Does risk improve too? →
Try a case to see how we approach the work
Our trading programs remain internal. Here you can explore what to check when a program selects a different stock from the one expected, a required price is missing, or you ask AI for a second opinion but also show it the first report. The dossier shows how to collect results and outstanding checks so another person can assess your decision.
01 · Operating model
A deliberately lean operating model
Computers process data and repeat simulations; the people conducting the research choose the tests and interpret the results.
Resources support market-data acquisition, software development and computation. Other programs submit orders and monitor how much capital is exposed and what losses are accumulating.
02 · Registered office
London registered office. Digital operating model.
Quantic Eagle LTD is incorporated in England and Wales. Its registered office is in London, at the address shown in the public company register.
That is the company’s statutory and correspondence address. Quantic Eagle does not present it as a physical trading floor.
Research and execution programs run on computing infrastructure. The registered office identifies the company; it does not specify where every computer is located or where each activity takes place.
Legal identity and public records
Quantic Eagle LTD’s incorporation, directors, registered office and filing history can be independently verified through the official UK Companies House register.
03 · Illustrative charts
What the homepage charts show
In the homepage’s main comparison, one program takes every example trade and another filters some out. You can compare profit and maximum decline at the same amount per trade, or change that amount. Prices, trades and results are invented.
The main chart shows cumulative net profit after each completed trade. The drawdown comparison measures the largest fall in balance from a previous peak, using only the balances observed after those trades. It does not measure temporary losses on positions that are still open. The data is invented: it does not come from Quantic Eagle accounts or backtests and does not represent expected returns.
The example separates two effects: which trades are selected and how much money goes into each. A higher profit alone does not identify which change caused it or the losses experienced along the way.
04 · Information and verification
Company facts and supporting records.
Here you can find the company’s identifying details, a description of its activities and cases for practising how to read a simulation. Notes distinguish invented examples from internal research aggregates; the site does not publish periodic trading-performance reports.
Company identity and filings can be checked through the official Companies House register. Educational charts are not evidence of performance and cannot replace a review of supporting records.
Account data, positions, orders and proprietary system details remain private. Where a relevant corporate or strategic discussion requires further examination, appropriate records may be reviewed within an agreed scope and under suitable confidentiality arrangements.
Individual research notes identify their examples and sources. A historical case with a defined scope should not be read as an update on the company’s current trading results.
05 · Research continuity
Research can evolve without rewriting earlier decisions.
If you compare two rules on 2018 results and choose the more profitable one, 2018 has influenced your choice. Testing the selected version on that year again does not provide a fresh assessment; it needs a period that has not already guided development.
If you change a rule today and rerun last month, you obtain the orders the new rule would have produced on those prices. Reconstructing actual decisions at the time requires the version then in use, the inputs it read, and decision and order records. Code and data alone do not establish that an order was submitted or executed.
06 · Operating perimeter
Own capital and the regulatory perimeter
Quantic Eagle trades exclusively with company capital.
It does not accept or manage third-party investment capital, take investment-management mandates from clients or offer investment advice, public trading signals, models, trading execution software or execution access.
Quantic Eagle is not authorised to manage third-party investment capital or provide regulated investment services to clients. It does not offer, or seek to offer, those services.
07 · Company ownership
Entrusting capital to an investment manager and owning a stake in a company
The two relationships confer different rights. Entrusting assets to an investment manager is not the same as buying shares in the company that manages them.
In the first case, the relationship concerns the entrusted assets and the rules governing their investment. Quantic Eagle does not accept this type of mandate.
In the second, you own shares in a company, with the rights attached to those shares. You do not automatically own each company asset directly and cannot treat its money as your personal account.
A technical collaboration does not, by itself, give someone a stake in the company. If a proposal involves becoming a shareholder, the rights attached to the shares, decision-making powers and any operating role need to be considered separately. Quantic Eagle may review such proposals privately; this website sets out no terms for them.
Assessing a corporate proposal therefore requires separate answers about who works, who decides, what is paid and which rights attach to the shares.
Nothing on this website constitutes a public offer of shares in Quantic Eagle LTD.
A shareholder may also take on an operating role. Our note on joining an existing company as an operating shareholder explains the responsibilities and the checks each side should make. The comparison of co-founders, employees and investors separates those roles.
08 · Public filings
How to read public company filings
Quantic Eagle is a small private company.
Where eligible, it files accounts under the UK micro-entity reporting regime. “Micro-entity” is a statutory accounting and reporting category based on company-size criteria. It is not a measure of the complexity of a company’s software, quantitative research or operating infrastructure, nor does it measure assets under management.
Imagine a company with 100 shares, each with a nominal value of £1: nominal share capital is £100. That figure does not tell you today’s bank balance, outstanding debts or software value. Those resources require their own records and dates.

09 · Purpose of this website
Why maintain a public website?
The website lets you learn about the company’s work and try some of the checks used in research.
When proposing a collaboration or an agreement concerning the company, describe its purpose, the intended contribution and who would be involved.
Before an agreement, the parties still need to verify relevant records, such as accounts, contracts, software ownership and signatories’ authority. A website description cannot perform those checks for them.
