Start with the research process

A professional quant site should teach readers how to reason about models, data, validation, execution, and risk before discussing any strategy.

How to Keep an AI Quant Research Log That Can Be Reviewed

A practical framework for documenting AI quant experiments, data lineage, backtest assumptions, and risk decisions without turning research into trade advice.

Key Takeaways

  • A research log turns AI quant work from isolated experiments into a reviewable process.
  • Good logs record hypotheses, data lineage, feature timing, costs, validation windows, and rejected ideas.
  • For public education sites, documentation also helps separate research methodology from investment advice.

Research tracks

Six lanes for systematic learning

Each track is structured around practical research questions and conservative claims, which helps the site read like a durable reference instead of a campaign.

Regulation 2026-05-15 CFTC Press Release 9180-26 — “CFTC Staff Reissues Letter 25-40 Updating Payment Stablecoin Definition” (Feb 6, 2026; accessed May 15, 2026)

CFTC Staff Letter update (2026-02-06): if “payment stablecoin” definitions change, treat collateral eligibility as a configurable research input—not a constant

The CFTC’s Market Participants Division announced it reissued Staff Letter 25-40 with a limited revision to the definition of “payment stablecoin,” including clarifying that a national trust bank may be a permitted issuer for purposes of the no-action position described in the letter. For quant teams, the practical takeaway is not a trading view—it’s operational: collateral eligibility and margin assumptions can change with regulatory interpretations and program rules, so backtests and risk dashboards should not “hard-code” them as static facts.
