Varrd
VARRD is the Cursor for trading — an AI-native quant research engine that turns domain knowledge into statistically validated trading edges. Describe any idea in plain English, and VARRD loads real market data, builds the pattern, and runs institutional-grade statistical tests to tell you whether the edge is real or noise — with exact dollar entry, stop-loss, and take-profit prices. Most AI trading tools skip the hard part. They’ll run a backtest and tell you what you want to hear. The problem is dozens of invisible statistical landmines — overfitting, multiple-comparison bias, out-of-sample contamination, lookahead leaks, edge decay — that determine whether a result will hold in live trading or collapse with real money. VARRD enforces these corrections at the infrastructure level. The AI cannot skip them. VARRD isn’t just a testing engine. Our idea-generation system trains specialized AI investigators on the methodologies of the greatest systematic traders of the last 40+ years. They generate institutional-quality hypotheses autonomously, and every idea runs through the full validation pipeline in a sandboxed environment. Wake up to new validated edges in your library. Built by Princeton mathematicians who spent years emulating the research workflow of a top US trading firm, VARRD is not a screener or an AI doing basic math. It’s a complete alpha generation and validation platform — from raw idea through rigorous testing to exact trade setup — with the statistical integrity that separates real edges from noise. 15,000+ instruments across futures, equities, crypto, FX, and fixed income. Available as a web app, MCP server for AI agents, and CLI. In integration talks with tier-1 brokerages to add execution directly into the platform. ~$0.30 per session, with free credits on signup.

varrd_edgesBrowse VARRD's library of statistically validated trading edges — strategies discovered and tested with institutional-grade methodology, running 24/7 against live market data. THREE TIERS: depth=0 (FREE): See which markets have edges firing right now, pending bar close, or actively in trades. Markets and status only — no direction, no stats. Get a sense of what's live. depth=1 ($0.50): Unlock direction, occurrence count, EV/trade, stop-loss, take-profit, hold horizon, and current entry pric

varrd_aiTalk to VARRD AI. Describe any trading idea in plain language and the system handles everything — loading decades of market data, charting your pattern, running statistical tests, backtesting with stops, and generating exact trade setups. Requires credits. MULTI-TURN: First call creates a session. Keep calling with the same session_id, following context.next_actions each time. 1. Your idea -> VARRD charts pattern 2. 'test it' -> statistical test (event study or backtest) 3. 'show me the t

searchSearch your saved hypotheses by keyword or natural language query. Returns matching strategies ranked by relevance, with key stats (win rate, Sharpe, edge status). Use this to find strategies you've already validated.
-
get_hypothesisGet full detail for a specific hypothesis/strategy. Returns formula, entry/exit rules, direction, performance metrics (win rate, Sharpe, profit factor, max drawdown), version history, and trade levels. Everything an agent needs to understand and act on a strategy.

autonomous_varrd_aiPoint VARRD's autonomous AI in a direction and let it discover edges for you. Give it a topic and it draws from one of the most comprehensive market structure knowledge graphs ever built — containing ideologies and theories, not statistics — so it generates genuinely novel hypotheses rather than overfitting to what already worked. BEST FOR: Exploring a space broadly. Give it 'momentum on grains' and it might test wheat seasonal patterns, corn spread reversals, or soybean crush ratio momentum. I

get_briefedGet a personalized market news briefing based on your validated edge library. Profiles your strategies, searches today's news for the instruments and setups you actually trade, and writes a concise digest connecting each headline to your specific book. Each news item includes a ↳ line tying it to your actual positions and edges (e.g. 'your ES momentum setups', 'your GC mean-reversion edge'). Requires at least 5 strong edges in your library. Costs credits.
