Process

From research to signal

Most signal services start with an idea. We start with a published, peer-reviewed paper — then implement, backtest, and deliver. Nothing invented, nothing hidden.

01 / RESEARCH
Peer-reviewed source

Each strategy is sourced from a published academic paper — journals like JFE, Journal of Finance, RFS. Example: Moskowitz, Ooi & Pedersen (2012) — Time Series Momentum. 15+ papers implemented.

02 / IMPLEMENTATION
Faithful replication

We implement the exact methodology from each paper — parameters, lookback windows, position sizing, universe. No cherry-picking. Each strategy is independently backtested from 2010.

03 / SIGNAL
Regular delivery

Signals are generated on the last trading day of each month (daily and weekly for some strategies). You receive direction, position size, hit rate, and strategy reference — by email and on the dashboard.

Backtest Results — 2010 to 2026

Strategy Architecture

What powers the signals

15+ strategies across classical quantitative finance and modern machine learning approaches.

📐
Time-Series Momentum

Signal direction determined by cumulative return with skip-month. Volatility scaling at instrument and portfolio level. Captures trend across all asset classes.

→ Moskowitz, Ooi & Pedersen (2012), JFE — with Moreira & Muir (2017) vol overlay
📈
52-Week High Momentum

Instruments near their 52-week high receive long signals; those far below receive short signals. Best performing strategy: Sharpe 3.40, Ann. Return 22.4%.

→ George & Hwang (2004), Journal of Finance
🤖
ML/AI Strategies

XGBoost, LSTM, Transformer-based momentum, Deep Portfolio Optimization — all trained on out-of-sample walk-forward analysis to prevent overfitting.

→ Lim, Zohren & Roberts (2019) · Zhang, Zohren & Roberts (2020)
⚖️
Consensus Signals

Each instrument receives signals from multiple independent strategies. Consensus is computed as weighted voting (weights = Sharpe ratios). Stronger consensus = higher conviction.

FAQ

FAQ

How often are signals updated?

Most strategies generate signals monthly (last trading day). Some strategies — W52HIGH and MA_CROSS — update weekly. Daily signals are available for short-term strategies. You receive email notification as soon as new signals are ready.

Do I need to understand quantitative finance?

No. That's the point. R2S does the heavy lifting — we source the academic papers, implement the strategies, and deliver clear signals. You get direction (LONG/SHORT), position size, and the research backing. No formulas required.

How is R2S different from TradingView alerts or Discord signal groups?

TradingView alerts are technical indicators you configure yourself — they reflect your own guesswork. Discord signal groups are based on someone's gut feeling or undisclosed methodology. R2S signals are based exclusively on peer-reviewed academic research — independently published, verified by scientists, and backtested transparently. Every signal has a paper citation.

Is this investment advice?

No. R2S provides informational research signals for educational purposes only. We are not a licensed investment advisor. Signals should not be used as the sole basis for investment decisions. Always consult a qualified financial advisor before trading.

What minimum capital do I need?

Signals are expressed as direction (LONG/SHORT) and position size multiplier. You can apply them to any portfolio size. Practically, a portfolio of €10,000+ allows meaningful diversification across multiple instruments.

What if a signal loses money?

No strategy wins 100% of the time. We show hit rates per strategy and instrument (e.g. TSMOM on SPY: 66% hit rate over 16 years). Past performance does not guarantee future results. Diversifying across multiple strategies reduces single-strategy risk.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contracts, no commitments. Cancel directly from your account at any time. Annual plans are refunded pro-rata for unused months within 14 days (EU consumer right).
