02 / 07 What this covers
The research and validation layer above raw market data
This covers what happens between an idea and a strategy worth risking capital on: designing a backtesting harness, wiring in the market and economic data it needs, and producing the performance and risk reporting that says whether it actually works. It sits above the market-data infrastructure covered by Trading & Market Systems, not in place of it.
Typical scope
Backtesting harnesses, performance and risk reporting, data-source integration
That can mean a vectorized backtesting setup, tear-sheet style performance and risk reporting, cleaning and aligning market data with macro series, or building the research pipeline a strategy needs before it earns a paper-trading account.
Why it matters
Strategy research fails quietly when the data or the harness is wrong
Survivorship bias, look-ahead bias, and mismatched data frequencies produce backtests that look profitable and are not. Fourteen years trading professionally, paired with the data-engineering side of the work, means those failure modes get caught before they reach a report.
03 / 07 Supporting stack
A Python research stack for vectorized backtests and performance reporting, fed by real market and economic data
Python, managed independently from any production runtime, handles research, backtesting, and reporting: vectorbt for vectorized strategy backtests across parameter grids, quantstats for performance and risk tear sheets, and pandas-based pipelines for cleaning and aligning data. Market data and FRED economic series come from the same provider integrations proven in production infrastructure, not a separate, untested path.

Evaluating a trading strategy before it goes live?
If you need a backtesting harness, performance and risk reporting, or market and economic data wired into a research pipeline, the domain will not need explaining first.
