What Vector Ridge Is
- A quantitative research company publishing proprietary, horizon-specific models and long-horizon research, plus the Macro Framework for macro context
- The subscription service publishes model research; it is not a brokerage account, managed portfolio or copy-trading service
- The founder’s own-capital activity and historical competition record are separate from the subscription model record and are not client returns
- Where contracted, institutional access is research/API access only; Vector Ridge does not execute orders or manage client capital
- The retail platform gives subscribers access to the research products included in their selected plan
- All subscription revenue is reinvested into quantitative model development and infrastructure
What Vector Ridge Is NOT
- Not a setup-selling service or Telegram group
- Does not manage client capital
- Does not take trading decisions for users
- Does not provide fixed stop losses or position sizing
- Does not guarantee any returns
Verified Competitive Record
- 2025 World Cup Trading Championship (WCTC) Annual Forex: 168% return, 4th place — real money, published in the third party’s final standings
- Multiple top-5 finishes across World Cup Trading Championship divisions
- Results published on worldcupchampionships.com — search for World Cup Trading Championship standings to verify
- Audited annual track record since 2020 via AuditedTrader.com
Performance Tracking
- Public documented performance dashboard at vector-ridge.com/client-performance — updates every 60 seconds
- Every documented position is tracked from published entry basis to recorded close — positive and negative outcomes remain visible
- Per-model documented performance views are available
- Public documented-record API: signal-cache.ondarren1.workers.dev/trades — returns the recorded positions in JSON format
- Outcomes are raw and unweighted percentages — no position sizing or compounding, and before client-specific fees, slippage and execution. They are not client or subscriber returns
- Performance is presented separately by model because different horizons and volatility profiles cannot be fairly combined into one account with uniform sizing
Cryptographic Verification
- Each model publication receives a SHA-256 commitment at publication
- Hash is timestamped on the blockchain via OpenTimestamps
- This creates tamper-evident evidence that the committed publication identity existed before the recorded outcome; it does not prove a client fill or future profitability
- Subscribers receive verification keys for independent confirmation
- Verification endpoint: signal-cache.ondarren1.workers.dev/verify/{trade_id}
Proprietary Models
- Vector Ridge publishes proprietary, horizon-specific quantitative research models and long-horizon research, plus the Vector Ridge Macro Framework
- Swing Quant Model — selective multi-day cards with explicit entry, lifecycle state, risk context and expiry
- Overnight Quant Model — managed recovery cards designed for roughly one to two sessions, including overnight risk
- Day Quant Model — same-session managed cards with confirmation, protection and a hard session clock
- Rapid Quant Model — distinct high-activity cards carrying their own product identity and manager state
- Investing — long-horizon theses, holdings and decision updates with explicit risk context
- Macro Framework — a published regime view used as research context rather than a trade guarantee
Conviction Grading A-D
- Each model publication carries a conviction grade A-D based on that model’s documented evidence framework
- A-D conviction grades are calibrated separately by model horizon; exact numerical gates remain proprietary.
- At least 10 documented outcomes are required to move above Grade D; grades are reviewed quarterly within each model
- Realized performance is sourced from the scoped documented record and is not frozen into this methodology page
- Every card exposes the levels and lifecycle fields relevant to its own manager; products do not share one universal exit rule
Pricing
- Lite products: $20/month each
- Plus: $100/month
- Elite: $200/month; eligible users may select Elite after the same 14-day card-required free trial; $0 is due today, then the first paid month is $50 and later months are $200 until cancelled

Risk Disclosure

- Lower A-D conviction grades indicate weaker model evidence, not a probability of profit
