01 Consulting

Strategy &
Infrastructure

You've got the alpha. We make it production-ready — without touching it.

  • Strategy Audit — Lookahead and survivorship bias detection, hyperparameter overfit diagnostics, walk-forward robustness testing, live vs. backtest performance attribution, and model lifecycle monitoring in production
  • Infrastructure Review — Risk systems, monitoring pipelines, latency profiling
  • Crypto Adaptation — Move TradFi or CeFi strategies onto DEX and perps markets

We operate at the boundary between your research environment and production: ensuring clean data flows in, orders flow out correctly, and nothing leaks in between. Your signal logic stays in your hands. For funds, prop desks, and protocols building or scaling trading infrastructure.

02 Training

Sharpening the
Quant Edge

The gap between a working strategy and a robust one is where most practitioners get stuck.

  • Workshops — Intensive half or full-day sessions on systematic trading, backtesting rigour, and ML-driven signals; built around real case studies, not toy examples
  • Practitioner Courses — Structured programmes covering factor construction, risk sizing, and execution-aware strategy design; paced for working professionals
  • Custom Programs — Tailored to your team's existing stack, asset class, and knowledge baseline

Participants leave with frameworks they can apply the next trading day — and the vocabulary to hold informed conversations with quant developers and risk teams. Built on 10+ years of live trading and university-level teaching experience.

03 Data Pipeline Audit

Execution Under
the Hood

Your backtest looks great. Your live PnL doesn't match. Why?

  • Data Quality — Gaps, survivorship bias, look-ahead contamination, stale feeds
  • Execution Analysis — Fill rates, slippage patterns, market impact, funding cost drag
  • System Latency — Where milliseconds accumulate and alpha decays before it's captured

We deliver a written diagnostic report with ranked findings and concrete remediation steps. What you do with your signals afterward is entirely your business. We find the leaks. You keep the returns.

Built on Production Experience

The gap between research and production is where most projects fail. That's where we work.

Aqfinea is a quantitative trading consultancy. We come from academia, hedge funds, and crypto vaults. We've built strategies that trade live. We've taught the theory. We know where backtests break — and why live PnL rarely matches the curve.

Our work covers systematic strategy design, quant development, machine learning applications in trading, and execution infrastructure. We do not manage your capital, and we do not need to understand your alpha to do our job well.
