Topic

Methods

Research design, hypotheses, evidence standards, and reproducible analysis.

Topic

Risk

Risk controls, sizing, limits, and safe execution practices.

Topic

Backtesting

Historical strategy validation, assumptions, and reproducibility.

Topic

Portfolio

Positions, account metrics, allocation, and reporting.

Strategy

Moving average crossover research template

A structured example showing how to document assumptions, costs, and limitations without presenting a signal.

Glossary

Benchmark

A reference series or policy portfolio used to evaluate performance, risk, exposure, or opportunity cost.

Glossary

Concentration

The degree to which exposure is dominated by a small number of holdings, factors, sectors, or assumptions.

Glossary

Drawdown

The decline from a prior peak to a subsequent trough in an equity curve or portfolio value series.

Glossary

Hypothesis

A testable claim that states what relationship or behavior the research expects to observe.

Glossary

Lookahead bias

A research error where an analysis uses information that would not have been available at the simulated decision time.

Glossary

Out-of-sample

Data reserved for evaluation after rules or parameters have been chosen on separate development data.

Glossary

Pre-analysis plan

A written note that defines the question, sample, metric, and decision rule before reviewing the final result.

Glossary

Primary metric

The main measurement used to judge whether a result supports the research question.

Glossary

Rebalancing

The process of returning allocations toward defined targets or adjusting them under documented rules.

Glossary

Risk budget

A defined allowance for how much loss, volatility, concentration, or exposure a portfolio component may contribute.

Common error

Risk is summarized by one flattering metric

Risk runtime troubleshooting: Only one performance or risk statistic is shown

Glossary

Survivorship bias

A research error caused by testing only observations that survived to the current sample.

Glossary

Tail risk

Exposure to rare but severe outcomes that can dominate long-term results or survival constraints.

Glossary

Transaction costs

The frictions that reduce implementable results, including fees, spreads, market impact, and other execution costs.

Common error

Transaction costs and frictions are ignored
