A thirty-nine-month backtest covering the period March 2019 – June 2022, across seven FX pairs and a basket of macro-sensitive ETFs. Two exit strategies (trailing stop-loss and time-based). Includes CAPM-based evaluation, simulation quasi-experiments and causal-inference assessment.

Research notes

February 2026

Signal behaviour under distributional instability.

Mattingly, K.; Ponsonby, A.-L.; Gruen, A.

Regime-dependent signal behaviour and execution implications. Draws on a working paper examining signal×uncertainty interaction across five uncertainty proxies.

February 2026

Election forecast accuracy: cohort-signal performance across 174 markets.

Ponsonby, A.-L.; Mattingly, K.

ROC/AUC analysis of the cohort signal across 174 election markets (2017–2022) and nine US Presidential 2024 markets. Establishes the confirmation–divergence framework as a real-time signal-reliability indicator.

Cross-platform replication

In March 2026, the divergence and scored-divergence signals were replicated on a structurally different public forecasting venue using a constant-product automated market maker. The replication establishes that the signal is not specific to a single market-design or cost function and supports a behavioural rather than mechanism-design interpretation of its origin.

The dataset

The panel is generated by Almanis, our operator-staked prediction-market platform in continuous operation since 2015. The active forecaster population numbers approximately nine hundred contributors, drawn from a candidate pool of more than thirty-six thousand, with a median tenure of seven years on the platform.
