Research infrastructure with inspectable evidence.

Platform

One intelligence layer. Multiple execution surfaces.

Voltacent is a single pipeline, not a bundle of features. Each stage is inspectable — select one to see its inputs, outputs, model type and failure behaviour.

Research engine

11-fold expanding-window OOS validation (2016–2026)

For each validation year Y+1, train on all available history from 2002 through Y, then evaluate only on Y+1.

Historical research design
Annual full-retrain sequence
TrainingOut-of-sample

Fold rule

For each validation year Y+1, train on all available history from 2002 through Y, then evaluate only on Y+1.

Temporal control

Point-in-time features and strict temporal causality prevent future bars from entering training or inference inputs.

LEAN distinction

This research walk-forward design is separate from QuantConnect LEAN backtesting. LEAN status remains NOT YET TESTED.

Expanding window

Train on 2002 through Y, then validate only on Y+1.

Strict causality

Point-in-time features use only information available at the bar timestamp.

Full retrain

The complete model is retrained independently for every annual fold.

Not LEAN

Research OOS validation is separate from QuantConnect LEAN backtesting.

Representation research: a causal dilated TCN autoencoder was explored for 32-dim market-regime embeddings during gen-2 research. The production triad does not use TCN latents — direction, magnitude and volatility are served from gradient-boosted models on tabular features.

Threshold research

Higher thresholds reduced trade coverage and changed net backtest results.

These are historical threshold-study observations, not an operating promise or guarantee.

Canary telemetry snapshot

Recorded staging telemetry, not a live feed

A historical canary snapshot recorded in Voltacent telemetry.json. Values describe that recorded observation only and do not stream or imply current status.

Snapshot · not live

Ledger

Recent Executions

The source snapshot records 9 recent trades, but row-level details are not present in the available project copy. No rows are fabricated.

Inference contracts

One typed boundary for three model outputs.

Direction probability, expected return and volatility forecasts remain separate inputs to a downstream decision, risk and execution layer.

Product lineup

Quant Agent, Data Feed, Signals API.

Planned products

Layer 01

OPEN FOR ALL

Quant Agent

A personal quant research agent that runs on your own terminal, against your own data. You own everything — your data never leaves your machine. Bundled Claude and Gemini intelligence, routed per task. Research tooling, not advice: it analyzes backtests, explains walk-forward results, and suggests features to test.

Layer 02

ADD-ON

Data Feed

Voltacent market data plugged straight into your agent. The retainer that keeps the agent fed.

Layer 03

ACCESS ONLY

Signals API

The production model triad — direction, magnitude, volatility — served as an API. Models are never distributed; API keys or nothing. Request access for the private beta.

Pricing

Planned pricing.

Private beta is free while we validate. Prices below are the planned tiers at launch — nothing is billed today.

Sandbox

Free

Snapshot API data, docs, playground. No live data.

Agent

launch price

$29/mo

Local research agent, bundled Claude + Gemini with fair-use quota, your terminal, your data.

Agent + Data

$99/mo

Everything in Agent, plus the Voltacent data feed, larger AI quota.

Desk

most complete

$199/mo

Everything above, plus the Signals API with the production triad, highest quotas, priority support.

Token quotas apply per tier — throttled, never hard-cut. Annual billing at two months off once generally available.

Infrastructure

Storage, compute, observability, execution.

Repository-backed research, inference interfaces, observability contracts and downstream execution are kept as explicit boundaries.

Data Lake

Point-in-time multi-timeframe inputs. No public market-data connection is claimed.
