Research Standard

Evidence before claims.

LAS Desk does not treat an equity curve or a winning screenshot as sufficient proof. Research is documented, versioned and retained — including what failed.

A controlled research process.

The site explains the philosophy, not the proprietary mechanics. Exact algorithm rules are never published.

01

Frozen versions

Every promoted system is frozen as a defined version before promotion.

02

Separate research branches

Branches are tested separately, not blended retroactively.

03

Rejected hypotheses

Weak research is rejected and recorded, not quietly deleted.

04

Robustness comparison

Historical periods are compared deliberately for robustness.

05

Trade-level evidence

Every result traces to a maintained, trade-level ledger.

06

Technical provenance

Version provenance is preserved for due diligence.

Robustness means watching the regime change.

Historical periods are compared deliberately because volatility regimes shift under every system. This is 14-day realized volatility — a real, computed statistic, not a model output — for the four markets LAS Desk currently covers.

XAUUSD · 14D realized vol

—

Annualized, computed from real daily closes (GC=F).

BTCUSD · 14D realized vol

—

Annualized, computed from real daily closes (BTC-USD).

NAS100 · 14D realized vol

—

Annualized, computed from real daily closes (NQ=F).

SPX500 · 14D realized vol

—

Annualized, computed from real daily closes (ES=F).

Coverage today is XAUUSD, BTCUSD, NAS100 and SPX500. The research program does not stop here — new markets are tested against the same frozen-version standard as volatility regimes, cycles and available data continue to change, and only join the public product list once they earn it.
