Sonic Wake Research Methodology

Sonic Wake separates observed point-in-time evidence from hypothetical and reconstructed research so results can be interpreted in context.

Point-in-Time Forward Evidence

Forward research begins with information observed by Sonic Wake and reaction data captured from that point forward.

Counterfactual and Ghost Research

Alternative entries, exits and rejected opportunities are hypothetical research rather than actual trading performance.

Historical Ghost Research

Historical research reconstructs provider bars around source timestamps and preserves provenance.

Validation

Candidate strategies require chronological out-of-sample testing, walk-forward analysis, regime robustness, negative controls and leakage checks before promotion review.
