The first subscribers at Premium and Professional lock their rate permanently.
If you subscribe at $299/yr, that is your rate forever — including after the founding period
closes and pricing moves to $499/yr. There are no exceptions, no future increases, and no
grandfathering clauses.
After market close each trading day, a proprietary systematic pipeline processes
raw market data and produces: the current macro regime classification, cross-asset volatility regime
snapshot, credit and yield curve conditions, and directional signal output across the full 54-ETF
universe. All outputs are timestamped and available to subscribers by the following morning.
SQ Research is neither. It is a systematic signal publisher — a machine that
reads the market every night and publishes what it sees. There is no analyst writing a narrative
around a bias. There is no discretionary call. Every output is generated by the same process,
every day, with a documented 12-year out-of-sample prediction history.
Yes. The performance tearsheet is publicly accessible. It shows the full
out-of-sample walk-forward validated signal history from 2014 through the present. This is not a
live trading record — it is a systematic prediction record measured against realized returns.
Every monthly return reflects predictions made before the outcome was known, using data the model
had never seen. No in-sample data. No backtested curve-fitting. A genuine out-of-sample prediction
record spanning 147 months.
It means every prediction in the signal history was made before the outcome
was known. The system is trained on historical data, then makes predictions on data it has never
seen, then steps forward in time and repeats. This prevents curve-fitting — a model
optimized to look good on historical data it has already seen. The result is a 12-year record
of genuine predictions, not a simulation.
