From raw data to a live position, in five disciplined steps.
Every strategy at Alpha Netra follows the same five-stage process. Nothing skips a step, and nothing is added on conviction alone.
The five-stage process
-
Data Collection
Price, volume, and fundamental data are gathered systematically across the market universe each strategy tracks — no manual cherry-picking of what to look at.
-
Quantitative Screening
Rule-based filters narrow the universe down to setups that match a strategy's defined criteria — momentum thresholds, technical structure, or fundamental quality, depending on the strategy.
-
Risk Overlay
Before any position is opened, position size, stop levels, and maximum portfolio exposure are calculated against predefined risk limits — not decided in the moment.
-
Portfolio Construction
Individual setups are combined into a portfolio with attention to correlation and concentration, so a single sector or theme can't dominate outcomes.
-
Continuous Monitoring
Positions and the strategy rules themselves are reviewed on a fixed schedule — performance, drawdown, and rule adherence are tracked the same way, win or lose.
The process doesn't change because last month was good or bad. That consistency is the entire point — it's what lets us actually measure whether a strategy works, instead of just remembering the trades that felt good.
How this shows up on the Strategies page
Every equity curve on our Strategies page is the output of this process, not a hypothetical. As live data accumulates, the same five steps continue to govern how positions are taken and measured.
