START WITHYOUR ORDER-FLOW IDEA
BUILD TOWARDYOUR TRADING SYSTEM
01 / THE FOUR THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BUILD ALONE

You know the setup.
We help you
make it a system.

Buying data and asking AI for a backtest still leaves a lot on your desk.

Data bills. Complex rules. Trades you cannot inspect. Another development project to go live. Argonaut Edge brings those steps into one order-flow research workflow.

01 / THE DATA BILL

Your research should start
with an idea.
Not a data invoice.

Buying 15 years of tick history for one market can become a substantial upfront expense. Add more instruments, more exchanges and deeper data, and the research budget grows before you test your first idea.

Our planned research subscription includes prepared NQ history from 2010 to present. Open the market and start testing, with contract and session context already organized.

YOU GETHistorical research access inside your plan.

NQ is the initial focus. Additional markets are on the roadmap. Historical access is subject to final exchange licensing.

THE COST ADDS UP / A BUDGET EXAMPLE

$3,000

1 market × $3,000 in historical files

2010TODAY

Illustrative budget, not a vendor quote. Replace the assumption with your own quote. Actual costs depend on the provider, instrument, data depth and license. How usage pricing works ↗

02 / THE RULES BARRIER

You can see the pattern.
Putting it into code
is the hard part.

“A fresh Big Buy above value, retested from underneath, then rejected” contains a whole sequence of conditions. A small misunderstanding can make the backtest measure a different setup.

We specialize in order-flow research. Our rule templates give you a starting point for profile levels, virgin zones, absorption, rejection and failure sequences. Adjust the conditions with AI assistance, inspect the matches and save your own named setup.

YOU GETEditable order-flow templates and a precise, versioned rule set.

Templates define behavior to test. Their profitability must be evaluated for your rules and market.

EXAMPLE TEMPLATE / FRESH PROFILE REJECTION

“Sell when price approaches a fresh Big Buy from below and rejects.”
Source
Top 10% profile row · buy-dominant
Context
Above source Value Area · never retested
Approach
Price arrives from below the zone
Trigger
Touch → M5 closes back below → sell
Risk
Define SL, TP and invalidation before testing
YOUR NAMED SETUPFresh Profile Rejection v1.0

An editable rule example, not a performance claim. “Top 10%” refers to profile rows, not individual prints.

03 / THE BLACK BOX BACKTEST

A win rate cannot tell you
what actually happened.

A spreadsheet says the trade won or lost. You still need to know where the setup formed, why the entry triggered and whether the stop or target matched your idea.

Open each trade in its original market context. See the source profile, entry, stop-loss, take-profit and exit together. Compare winners and losers, and inspect why a candidate passed or failed your rules.

YOU GETA trade journal you can inspect directly on the chart.

Try the illustrative trade viewer: switch between a target hit, a stop hit and a breakeven exit.

04 / THE GAP AFTER THE BACKTEST

Your backtest is done.
Building the trading
system should follow.

A promising report still leaves you watching charts, rebuilding signal logic and finding a way to connect it to your trading platform.

Our system-packaging workflow is designed to carry your saved setup into paper trading, signal notifications and automated execution. Entry conditions, SL/TP, position sizing and risk limits become part of one system specification.

YOU GETA path from tested rules to your own alerts and trading system.

Deployment integrations are in development. Automated trading will depend on supported platforms, broker access and your configured risk limits. This preview does not place trades.

03 / ORDER-FLOW STRATEGY ENGINE

Our order-flow expertise, built into the rules

Start with concepts
you already trade.

Build with Big Trades Profile, absorption, fresh zones and HVN interactions. Our research templates make source, context and price response explicit, so you can refine a setup without coding each concept from scratch.

P95P90P80
01

Specify what the flow is doing

Define absorption, initiative flow, trapped participants, failed acceptance and traversal with measurable conditions.

02

Lifecycle-aware levels

Know whether a zone is fresh, virgin, touched, accepted, broken, or trapping its initiating side.

03

Multi-layer strategy context

Relate order-flow events to RTH and ETH value, HVNs, POC, VWAP, source age, volatility, and approach geometry.

04 / RESEARCH DISCIPLINE

Designed to challenge your idea

The answer can be no.

A valuable research tool does not manufacture confidence. It reveals when an apparent edge depends on one month, one volatility regime, or three unusually large winners.

05 / BUYING DATA + USING AI VS. A CONNECTED WORKFLOW

What changes when
the work is connected?

You can build this with data and AI. Argonaut Edge brings the specialist tools together, so your time goes into understanding your setup. Here is the workflow we are building.

Planned historical coverage

15+ years of NQ.
One place to research.

Paid research plans are designed to include controlled platform access to normalized NQ tick and order-flow history from 2010 to present. Customers will not need to buy, download, roll, or repair separate historical tick files.

  • 01 Contract and session-normalized history
  • 02 Tick, profile, and derived order-flow events
  • 03 Research access without raw-file operations
201015+ YEARS OF CONTINUOUS RESEARCH CONTEXTPRESENT

Planned launch coverage is subject to final CME historical-distribution rights. Live data remains a separate entitlement layer; Argonaut Edge does not sell raw exchange files as a standalone product.

06 / WHAT YOU KEEP

Your reusable research asset

A setup you can
keep building on.

Save the exact rules, chart evidence and risk policy together. Compare the next version against the last, then use the specification to plan notifications or an execution integration.

Pattern digitization

Give every pattern a name.
Turn it into an EdgeSpec.

An EdgeSpec is a named, versioned, machine-testable specification of an order-flow pattern. It turns visual intuition into a reusable research asset that can be compared, audited, monitored, and improved.

AI-assisted risk research compares stop-loss, target, breakeven and trailing variants across market regimes. Keep the evidence and trade-offs alongside the policy you choose.

08 / DIRECT ANSWERS

Argonaut Edge, in plain language

Before you
get started.

What is included, how the workflow helps and what is still being built.

What is Argonaut Edge?01

Argonaut Edge is a subscription order-flow strategy research platform for futures traders. It converts visual market observations into explicit rules, then replays and stress-tests every qualified occurrence.

Can I turn a backtest into alerts or automated trading?02

System packaging is part of the product direction: carry a versioned setup from research into paper trading, signal notifications and automated execution on supported platforms. Notifications refer to your own rules. The demo does not connect to a broker or place trades; execution integration is in development.

Do customers need to buy historical NQ tick data?03

Under the planned launch model, eligible paid plans include controlled access to normalized NQ tick and order-flow history from 2010 to present, subject to applicable exchange distribution licenses. Separate historical files are not required.

What is an EdgeSpec?04

An EdgeSpec is a named, versioned, machine-testable description of an order-flow pattern. It stores the source event, context, trigger, invalidation, risk model, evidence, and live research state.

Why not buy data and build this with AI myself?05

You can. You would also need to prepare the data, define order-flow concepts, check the generated rules, build trade visualization and connect notifications or execution. Argonaut Edge is designed to bring those jobs into one workflow with specialist templates and a saved strategy specification.

Can AI recommend stop-loss and take-profit rules?06

Yes. Argonaut Edge is designed to compare MFE/MAE, expected return, win rate, drawdown, parameter sensitivity, and out-of-sample stability by market regime. It proposes candidate SL, TP, breakeven, and trailing rules rather than simply selecting the hindsight profit maximum.

How does Argonaut Edge make money?07

Argonaut Edge earns monthly and annual software subscription revenue. Researcher plans combine historical NQ access with strategy research; Live Lab adds realtime monitoring and alerts. Raw exchange files are not sold as a standalone download.

Are the demo trades and results real backtests?08

No. The interactive trade viewer and research loop use synthetic examples to explain the product. They are not historical performance evidence. The website is a pre-launch preview; historical coverage, live integrations and commercial availability are being developed.
