Markets are observed,
we need to test assumptions.

PRICE · TIME · REGIME

MARKETS
LOOK RANDOM.

They are not always
random in the same way.

ILLUSTRATIVE PRICE PATHS / NO LIVE MARKET DATA

CONTEXT FIRST
THEN SIGNAL.

Before studying an individual opportunity, we examine the environment around it. LMData investigates longer-term market regimes to understand how behaviour changes across conditions.

DIRECTIONAL PERSISTENCE / RISING STRUCTURECONCEPTUAL MODEL

STRUCTURE
INSIDE REGIME.

Within each regime, price tells a different story. We study recurring behaviour, the conditions that precede it, and the points at which an explanation fails.

NOT JUST A VIEW,
BUT A WAY TO INVESTIGATE.

Models need evidence. Our research moves between regime, price behaviour, systematic testing and the data beneath every conclusion.

INSTRUMENT 01 / CONTEXT

Regime Detector

Investigate the prevailing market environment. Examine how directional behaviour and volatility distinguish one state from another.

RESEARCH OVERVIEW / PLATFORM MATERIAL TO FOLLOW

MEASURE THE COST
OF THE JOURNEY.

A destination is only part of the result. Drawdown, exposure, time and volatility shape the journey required to get there.

Drawdown

The depth of a decline from a previous peak, and the recovery required.

EVERY CURVE
HAS A HISTORY.

Read the path, not only the endpoint. A real equity curve belongs alongside its test period, costs, assumptions and underlying data.

Equity calculated from the original 997-trade ledger using Databento NQ one-minute data. Results include modelled slippage and are before commissions.

Recorded out-of-sample period: 13 Aug 2025–12 Aug 2026. 197 trades; +1,699.75 points. This run retrospectively re-tests the recorded split; it is not a new untouched holdout.

A SMALL LAB.
DEEP QUESTIONS.

LMData is an independent financial research and intelligent-systems laboratory.

Our interests span market regimes, quantitative trading research, systematic testing, market structure and risk — supported by intelligent research systems and AI-assisted financial investigation.
