About

Who's behind ictru and why.

ictru is a public research notebook run by an MNQ futures trader who also writes the code. The models on this site come from a live NinjaTrader 8 indicator stack paired with a Python analysis engine that runs continuously on a VPS.

Ground rules

• Every model ships with its entry rules and its stats.
• Out-of-sample results live next to in-sample results, not hidden.
• Dead ends get writeups too — the research page includes failures.
• No signals are sold before they've earned trust publicly.

Stack

• NinjaTrader 8 — order flow + chart engine
• Python — backtesting, session VWAP, sweep detection
• Astro + Caddy — this site
