About TFT

A trading publication built for durable artifacts.

The Fringe Trader is a home for trading research, market outlooks, tools, experiments, technical work, and practical notes. The common subject is trading; the method can change from one artifact to the next.

Principle

Trading first

Quantitative studies, discretionary observations, cycle work, code, tools, and process notes can all belong when the subject is trading.

Archive

Records over curation

Outlooks and experiments should be preserved as records, including periods where the market does not behave as expected.

Tone

Analytical, not theatrical

The site is designed for readable research, clear limitations, and useful trading context rather than signal marketing.
