Research first
A strategy earns capital by surviving out-of-sample testing, transaction-cost modelling and regime analysis. Ideas that only work in-sample are discarded rather than re-fitted until they look agreeable.
Systematic trading research
Haught Capital researches and operates systematic trading strategies. Every position is the output of a written rule that was specified, backtested and risk-bounded before a single order was placed — never a discretionary call made in the moment.
Three commitments shape everything here. They are constraints, not aspirations — a strategy that cannot satisfy them does not get deployed.

Signals reach the market through code, on the same engine used to research them. Removing the human from the execution path removes the class of error that hesitation and improvisation introduce.
Position sizing, exposure limits and drawdown controls are part of a strategy's definition, not a layer added afterwards. The first question asked of any allocation is what it can lose.
Research and live operation run on the same open-source engine, on infrastructure operated in-house. The same code path that produced a backtest produces the live orders, so what was tested is what runs.
