Can AI assistwith quantitative trading research?

Not as a trader. As a quantitative researcher.

Building on top of the foundation, we let AI conduct research, test ideas, and learn from failure.

Can AI help develop profitable algorithmic strategies, as researcher?

Past AI trading experiments asked whether a model can look at a market and make a right trading decisions. AlphaStone asks a different question: can AI do the work of a quantitative researcher and help developing successful algorithmic strategies that remain consistent and testable?

AlphaStone began in 2021 as a personal attempt to build systematic strategies that could beat the market. After years of building the data and backtest infrastructure, test-time compute and reasoning-model breakthroughs made AI capable of doing meaningful generative research inside that framework.

2021

The project begins

AlphaStone started as a personal project to develop a systematic approach that could beat the market.

2022

Live testing begins

The work moved beyond backtests and into live testing, where execution and risk became part of the research.

2023–2025

The foundation develops

The research framework was rebuilt across model generations. Failed experiments helped narrow what was worth pursuing.

2026

AI joins the research

AI became part of the research workflow, helping propose and test ideas within the existing framework.
