CORTIQ AIGeneral questions · public assistant
CORTIQ is our private proprietary trading engine. Built to trade our own capital — not to sell, not to license, not to pitch. The numbers below are real. The engine is not widely available. We share the results because we believe in showing our work. Join the waitlist to request access.
Each module is purpose-built. Together they form a closed loop — research, validate, execute, protect. The same preservation-first intelligence runs through every layer.
Your autonomous trading command center. Live positions with a drawdown gate that never sleeps, a kill switch always armed, and real-time equity tracking. Designed to compound aggressively — and stop cleanly when conditions say stop.
The preservation layer before live capital. Run simulations on real Alpaca IEX bars, stress-test every parameter set, replay any SPY day tick-by-tick, and understand exactly how a strategy behaves before a dollar is risked. No hallucinations. Every metric traceable to a real bar.
Your AI co-pilot for Mag7, SPY and QQQ. It tells you when to be in and — just as importantly — when to stay out. Decisive, data-backed answers with no hedging. Because knowing when not to trade is half the preservation equation.
Seven specialised AI agents run continuously — classifying regime, training parameters, validating candidates, arbitrating signals, and executing with discipline. No human triggers a trade. No rule is bypassed. The engine decides. Then it acts.
Most algo platforms deploy a fixed strategy and hope the market cooperates. CORTIQ adapts continuously — it’s always learning, always re-reading the regime, and every single trade asks the same question first: is the capital safe enough to act?
Continuously the regime classifier reads live market conditions and determines the environment: trending, ranging, high-volatility, or risk-off. Capital preservation starts before entry — no trade fires into the wrong environment. The system would rather sit in cash than force a position.
Continuously and autonomously, the platform searches for better strategy parameters, scoring candidates across all market regimes. Every survivor is walk-forward validated out-of-sample before it can influence live capital. Nothing goes live that hasn’t earned it.
Every potential trade is scored across four dimensions: signal strength, risk-adjusted quality, regime alignment, and model confidence. The trade fires only when composite conviction exceeds the threshold. No threshold met — no trade. Discipline over activity, always.
Real Alpaca IEX 1-minute bars. Bear market, recovery, bull run — the strategy stayed profitable through all three and never breached 1.8% maximum drawdown. The biggest number isn’t the return. It’s the discipline that kept losses so small while compounding so large.
Risk Disclosure. Backtested results are hypothetical simulations using real Alpaca IEX 1-minute historical bars. They do not represent actual trading and are not indicative of future performance. SPY 0DTE options strategy with dynamic position sizing and a maximum daily drawdown gate. Strategy parameters continuously optimised across multiple market regimes.
Precision over breadth. Two complementary strategies that cover every regime: capture the breakout when conditions are right, harvest premium when they’re not. Every parameter continuously validated. Drawdown gates always armed.
Our flagship intraday options strategy. Captures opening-range momentum with volatility-aware entries, a rules-based stop, and an adaptive iron condor fallback when breakout conditions aren’t met. +92.4% capital growth.
Harvests option premium with wings that adapt to the current volatility regime — wider in high-IV, tighter in low-IV — engineered for consistent, defined-risk income when directional signals are absent.
Proprietary optimisation runs continuously — surfacing parameter improvements, walk-forward validated out-of-sample, and automatically deployed when they clear the performance gate.
Each agent runs independently. Together they form a closed adaptive loop — classify the regime, learn better parameters, validate before deploying, and execute only when conviction is clear. Preserve first. Grow relentlessly.
CORTIQ is not a mass-market product — it never will be.
