Two algo tracks. One uncompromising standard.
Carbel operates two distinct tracks: institutional capital allocation for managers who can prove an edge, and independent audit & advisory for developers refining a strategy or investors evaluating one.
Choose your path
The most expensive mistake is a bad allocation
An independent verdict costs a fraction of a single failed allocation. The right review can save seven figures, by stopping a beautiful backtest before it touches real capital, or by tuning an edge until it actually clears.
Prevent a bad investment
A single Carbel verdict can save you from funding a Sharpe ratio that only existed in-sample.
Tune a real edge
We don't only refuse. We map the repair: the leverage, capacity and risk that make a strategy allocatable.
Institutional credibility
18 years of trading FX swaps, funding and rates derivatives, not a checklist sold by a generalist.
The methodology behind every verdict, across four pillars.
Scalability
Proof a strategy can absorb real allocation without moving the market against itself.
Net-Edge Realism
Mathematical proof the model survives taker fees and slippage, net rather than gross.
Quant Stress Tests
Purged / walk-forward / event-jackknife testing across market regimes.
The Black Box Rule
Transparency in risk-management logic. No unexplained risk.
