Risk-engineered alpha for digital-asset markets.
Systematic, market-neutral strategies where risk is engineered
into every stage — from signal to portfolio to execution.
One integrated platform for
research, execution, and risk.
Unsigned Research is a proprietary trading firm running medium-frequency, quantitatively engineered strategies. We unite quantitative scientists, engineers, and risk professionals — with backgrounds in high-performance computing, academic research, and institutional trading — and treat strategy research, software engineering, and operations as a single discipline.
Systematic Alpha
Regime-tested strategies built through systematic validation and repeatable scientific process.
Integrated Infrastructure
A vertically integrated platform from research to portfolio construction to execution.
Risk Surveillance
Stress testing, continuous monitoring, and automated alerts across the trading lifecycle.
Robust by design, risk-aware at every stage.
We operate systematic strategies across a range of risk profiles, liquidity needs, and allocation objectives.
Our flagship program is a high-capacity, market-neutral statistical arbitrage strategy across the most liquid digital assets, designed to isolate alpha from market beta.
Risk management is built into the process from the start. From signal to execution, every stage is bounded, diversified, and continuously measured across market, idiosyncratic, and liquidity exposures.
Every component owned and instrumented in-house.
Signal & strategy

No external black boxes sit between an idea and a filled order — the entire path from research to execution is transparent and auditable.
A framework, not an afterthought.
Robustness is built through a disciplined risk framework, not added after the fact. Across strategies, signals, assets, and execution, risk is continuously measured, diversified, and controlled to support resilience across market regimes.
Alpha Diversification
We diversify alpha across multiple signals, time horizons, and strategies to reduce dependence on any single source of return.
Exposure Limits
Exposure is spread across assets, factors, and venues, with limits that prevent over-reliance on any single position or market condition.
Adaptive Positioning
Position sizing adjusts to changing volatility, liquidity, and signal confidence, keeping risk aligned with market conditions.
Live Risk Monitoring
Proprietary systems continuously compare live trading against expected behaviour, flagging divergence in real time.
Automated Safeguards
Anomaly detection and automated controls help protect the book, with alerts routed across critical monitoring channels.
Dynamic De-Risking
Exposure is reduced during drawdown or stress events and systematically reintroduced as conditions stabilise.
First principles, tested over cycles.
Risk Management First
Capital deploys only once risks are quantified, bounded, and observed.
First Principles
We deconstruct complex systems to fundamentals, then rebuild robustly.
Precision
Disciplined scope, every component instrumented for clarity and audit.
Meritocracy
The best idea wins, supported by data — precision outweighs tenure.
Future Driven
We anticipate structural shifts in microstructure, liquidity, and regulation.
Integrity
Transparency, accountability, and fairness across partners and trades.
An accomplished team,
with depth across research, infrastructure, and trading.
