Meet ALPHAC

The strategy.
The work.
The whole picture.

We build systematic strategies and put their work in public view. Not just the attractive charts. The rules. The failed ideas. The observations. The corrections.

ALPHAC brings that work together. Follow the paper record, inspect the evidence, or use the validation API for your own research.

Evidence Core / Public schema

The route from a frozen idea to a signed record.

Every shape has a job. Identities freeze before returns are opened. Failed trials remain in the union. Four sleeves stay separate. Broker observations enter from the edge. Signed records join the spine.

System films / Artifact rendered

Watch the system prove what state it is in.

Each silent loop is rendered from a sanitized public artifact, and carries its timestamp, basis, source and limitation in the frame.

Observed research accounting
01 / Research state

The engine is testing

Hypothesis identities freeze before executions enter the ledger. The preregistered budget remains visible.

  1. Candidate mechanisms enter without a result.
  2. The hypothesis identity freezes.
  3. Immutable executions accumulate against a visible budget.

Dedicated paper sleeves remain separate. Aggregate reconciliation is shown without account identifiers, credentials, or holdings.

  1. Published states join the sequence.
  2. Each node binds to the previous chain hash.
  3. The signed head resolves with a timestamp.
Verify the public record

Observed state is not the same as validated performance. These films make the research, paper-broker, and signed-record boundaries easier to inspect. They do not imply funded execution or an earned Sharpe result.

One decision / end to end

Follow a rebalance through the entire system.

Each layer answers a different question: what the model knew, what it chose, what the broker accepted, and what was published.

  1. 01 / InputWhat the model could know

    Point-in-time data and survivorship contracts.

    Data contracts
  2. 02 / DecisionWhat was fixed first

Open research book

The failed trials stay visible.

The goal is not to look right in hindsight. It is to preserve what was tested, what failed, what changed, and which claims remain unearned.

111published documents
46rejected or screen-killed

Hypothesis identities, family decisions, and complete trial packets are separate accounting units. The trial ledger shows the denominator.

Evidence grammar

Three labels. No ambiguity.

Observed

Broker & paper record

Marks, positions, orders, and drawdown already recorded by the current paper system.

Simulated

Research evidence

Walk-forward, stress, and capacity results under declared data and cost assumptions.

Planned

14-sleeve frontier

A governed breadth objective. It is not represented as a current portfolio achievement.

Authorship & accountability

A named builder.
An open record.

Built by Arhan Canli in Dubai. Research, code, corrections and operating evidence carry a name. This is a research project, not a fund or investment adviser.

Are these strategies trading real capital?

The published strategy record is paper execution, not funded trading. Three sleeves use Alpaca paper accounts; AlphaForge uses local simulated fills from live exchange books. Paper results do not establish executable future returns. Inspect the record and its basis.

What does “glassbox” mean here?

You can inspect the research, strategy rules, paper observations, failed work and corrections. The public record is self-published; transparency is not the same as an independent audit. See how to verify the evidence.

What can I do with an API key?

Submit your own research inputs to the validation tools and inspect their calculation receipts. The developer page includes key generation and Python, JavaScript and curl examples. A validation result is not an endorsement of a strategy. Start with the developer quickstart.

Can I invest or copy the trades?

Canli Capital is a research project, not a fund or investment adviser. This site does not offer managed capital or copy-trading. Read the project's boundaries.
