Quantitative Investment Strategies for the Modern Era
research for people · people for research
Wayy Funds is a quantitative investment platform that leverages proprietary research tools, advanced forecasting algorithms, and systematic trading strategies to generate risk-adjusted returns for investors.
Built on the foundation of Wayy Research—an AI/ML research and development firm established in 2024—our investment platform integrates three core technology packages that work together to identify, validate, and execute trading strategies across multiple asset classes including equities, cryptocurrencies, and derivatives.
Our mission is simple: make sophisticated quantitative finance accessible. While traditional hedge funds operate as black boxes, we believe in radical transparency. Every strategy we deploy is rigorously backtested, statistically validated, and continuously monitored.
Every strategy is documented, every backtest is shared, every risk is disclosed. You always know what's happening with your money.
Our strategies are built on rigorous academic research, including fractal market hypothesis and advanced statistical validation.
Purpose-built open-source infrastructure that processes market data in real-time across 32+ providers and 100+ exchanges.
Every strategy undergoes permutation testing to ensure returns are statistically significant—not just luck.
Wayy Funds offers two distinct paths for investors: a subscription-based strategy deployment service and direct investment in our managed fund strategies.
Wayy Finance is our comprehensive quantitative trading platform that integrates our three core technology packages—FracTime, WRData, and WRTrade—into a unified system for forecasting, data aggregation, and trade execution.
Our investment approach is rooted in the belief that markets exhibit fractal patterns—repeating structures at different time scales that can be identified and exploited through quantitative methods. Rather than attempting to predict specific price movements, we seek to identify statistical edges that persist over time.
| Asset Class | Instruments | Strategy Types |
|---|---|---|
| Equities | US stocks, ETFs, options | Trend following, momentum, mean reversion |
| Cryptocurrencies | BTC, ETH, altcoins, perpetual futures | Arbitrage, momentum, market making |
| Derivatives | Options, futures, structured products | Volatility trading, hedging |
Our platform is built on three open-source Python packages developed by Wayy Research. This modular architecture ensures reliability, enables rapid iteration, and provides complete transparency into our methodologies.
FracTime implements the Fractal Market Hypothesis through advanced time series analysis. It provides tools for computing fractal properties of financial data—including Hurst exponents and fractal dimensions—and uses these to generate probabilistic forecasts.
WRData provides dead-simple access to historical and real-time market data from over 32 providers and 100+ cryptocurrency exchanges. A single API abstracts away the complexity of different data sources, formats, and authentication methods.
WRTrade is our complete backtesting and live trading framework. It takes strategies from research to production with built-in validation tools that ensure statistical significance before any real capital is deployed.
Data Flow: WRData aggregates market information → FracTime analyzes patterns and generates forecasts → WRTrade constructs portfolios, validates strategies, and executes trades.
All code is open-source and MIT-licensed, enabling investors to audit our methodologies and verify our claims independently.
Our strategies are research-driven, rigorously validated, and designed to generate returns through systematic exploitation of market inefficiencies rather than directional bets.
Identify potential market inefficiencies through academic research, fractal analysis, and pattern recognition across historical data.
Implement the strategy programmatically and run extensive backtests across multiple market regimes and time periods.
Run 1000+ permutation tests to verify that performance is statistically significant (p-value < 0.05) and not due to chance.
Validate on out-of-sample data to ensure the strategy generalizes beyond the training period.
Deploy to paper trading for 30-60 days minimum to verify execution and behavior in live market conditions.
Graduate to live trading with conservative position sizing, with continuous monitoring for strategy decay.
These strategies identify and follow directional trends across multiple timeframes. Using fractal analysis, we determine whether an asset is in a trending (Hurst > 0.5) or mean-reverting (Hurst < 0.5) regime and position accordingly.
When assets deviate significantly from fair value, our mean reversion strategies take contrarian positions. We use statistical measures including z-scores, Bollinger Bands, and RSI to identify oversold/overbought conditions.
Rather than relying on any single approach, we construct portfolios of multiple uncorrelated strategies. Kelly criterion optimization determines the optimal allocation to each strategy.
We offer two distinct products to serve different investor needs: a subscription-based strategy deployment service and a managed investment fund.
For investors who want to maintain control of their own brokerage accounts while leveraging our research and strategies, we offer a subscription service that deploys our validated strategies directly to your Alpaca brokerage account.
Connect your Alpaca account → Select from our library of validated strategies → Our system executes trades automatically based on your risk parameters.
Your capital stays in your account. You can pause, adjust, or stop strategies at any time. Full transparency into every trade.
