# Argonaut Edge > Argonaut Edge is an order-flow strategy research platform for futures traders. It turns visual market observations into named, explicit, machine-testable strategy specifications and validates them on prepared historical market data. ## Core facts - Product type: subscription research software, not a signal room or guaranteed-return service. - Primary customer: independent and professional futures traders who research NQ order-flow strategies. - Core problem: tick history is expensive and operationally difficult; visual patterns are hard to explain precisely; generic backtesters do not understand order-flow context; manual review cannot test every occurrence. - Core solution: integrated historical market access, an order-flow-native research engine, high-throughput replay and stress testing, AI-assisted regime-aware risk analysis, and named strategy specifications called EdgeSpecs. - Planned data coverage: normalized NQ tick and order-flow history from 2010 to present, provided through controlled platform access in eligible paid plans, subject to final exchange distribution licensing. - Research concepts: Big Trades Profile, fresh Big Buy and Big Sell zones, absorption, initiative flow, trapped participants, virgin levels, Value Area, HVN, acceptance, rejection, retest lifecycle, breakout, and reversal. - Business model: monthly and annual subscriptions. Researcher combines historical NQ access with strategy research; Live Lab adds realtime monitoring and alerts. Raw exchange files are not sold as standalone downloads. - Risk intelligence: compare MFE/MAE, expectancy, hit rate, drawdown, parameter sensitivity, and out-of-sample stability by regime to propose candidate stop-loss, take-profit, breakeven, and trailing rules. The system does not simply choose the hindsight profit maximum. - Legal operator: Heritage Jewelers LLC, 1001 S Main St, Suite 600, Kalispell, MT 59901, United States. - Status: pre-launch product demo; pricing and historical coverage are illustrative until licensing is finalized. ## Terminology - EdgeSpec: the working product name for a named, versioned, machine-testable order-flow pattern specification. It stores source event, context, trigger, invalidation, risk model, evidence, and research state. - Big Trades Profile: a price-distributed view of qualifying aggressive transaction flow; it is one input to a strategy, not a standalone promise of edge. - Order-flow strategy: a hypothesis that combines transaction-flow events, market structure, context, entry logic, invalidation, and risk management. ## Primary page - [Argonaut Edge homepage](https://argonautedge.com/): product, method, order-flow engine, evidence, data, advantages, pricing, FAQ, and early access. - [Detailed machine-readable business model](https://argonautedge.com/business-model.json) - [Extended AI briefing](https://argonautedge.com/llms-full.txt) ## Contact - Email: research@argonautedge.com
