Independent NQ Futures Research

Every stat ships with its test.

An independent research desk built on five years of tick-level NQ data and 241 sessions of recorded order-book depth — publishing the evidence, the method, and the misses. No signals. No highlight reel. Receipts.

The Model

Three doors. No funnels-with-timers.

The tool is priced like a tool, the research drop is free, and the desk is for people who want the whole library and the room. Each one is worth its price on its own — that's the entire trick.

01 · The Tool

Desk Journal

$10 · once · lifetime

The same automation this desk runs on its own funded accounts: every fill journaled to Discord and Google Sheets automatically — no keyboard, no discipline required, no subscription. Ten dollars, forever. It's the front door, not the business.

02 · The Drop

The Weekly Drop

Free

One tested stat in your inbox each week — the full test, not the teaser: sample size, method, expectancy, and where it broke. If a finding died in testing, we publish that too. Dead stats teach.

Sample Drops

Research that survives its own audit.

Every claim carries its sample, its method, and its expectancy — normalized in percent, not points, because NQ doubled and points-based stats quietly lie. Here's the kind of work the drop delivers.

DAY STRUCTURE

The opening range is the anchor that holds

Five years of NQ day-range structure, tested against every candidate anchor. The one most traders lean on — settlement — graded out worst. The opening range graded out first. The full ranking, with the test.

ORDER BOOK

What depth actually predicts — and what it doesn't

241 sessions of recorded NQ order-book depth, replayed and measured. Which book features carry information, which are noise, and the null results nobody selling depth indicators will show you.

CALENDAR

Seasonality that survives normalization

Most seasonal "edges" evaporate when you measure in percent instead of points. We re-ran the calendar the right way — what survived, what didn't, and why the method matters more than the month.

Standards

What you will never see here.

Most people who trade futures lose money. Anyone who hides that sentence is selling you something. We put it on the front page.
