Built through rejection
A multi-year systematic research journey—not a single-model promise.
Hedgtrade grew out of a multi-year systematic research programme at United River Capital Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based proprietary investment company.
More than 260 trading ideas and strategy configurations have been researched and backtested over the years. Fewer than 14 have progressed far enough to be traded with live capital. That rejection rate is fundamental to the process: most ideas fail, promising backtests deteriorate, and only a small minority earn the right to move forward.
Hedgtrade is the quantitative market-intelligence, research and risk platform developed alongside that journey. It brings market regimes, cycles, positioning, liquidity, volatility, cross-asset evidence, portfolio exposure and systematic analysis into one decision-support environment.
Seven selected strategies are being prepared for transparent publication through broker-connected performance records. Platform subscribers will be able to follow their development through systematic strategy observations, performance updates, equity curves and risk reporting—with returns and drawdowns presented together. These materials describe model activity and proprietary research; they are not instructions to replicate a position.
