About TradeNova

TradeNova is a quantitative trading research project that publishes high-conviction options signals to a small group of subscribers. Built by a working trader who got tired of services that publish noise and curate winners.

What we do

We run a multi-engine system that screens U.S. equities and ETFs for short-term options trade setups. Most candidates are filtered out at the first gate. The few that survive every filter are published as signals to subscribers, with suggested action, confidence tier, and a clear rationale that does not reveal proprietary scoring.

Methodology

The system operates in four conceptual layers. Specifics — including signal sources, scoring weights, and gate parameters — are intentionally not disclosed; what we publish is the output, not the recipe.

Layer 1

Universe construction

Daily filtering of liquid options markets by volume, open interest, spread, and event proximity. The investable universe rebuilds every morning before the open.

Layer 2

Pattern detection

Multiple independent engines watch for setup patterns — momentum, reversion, catalyst-driven moves, and structural breakouts. Engines run in parallel and are scored independently.

Layer 3

Conviction & quality gates

Each candidate runs a battery of filters covering liquidity, premium efficiency, regime-aware sizing, and source-specific risk. Most candidates fail at this step.

Layer 4

Retrospective learning

Every published signal is tracked against its peak realised P&L. Engines that underperform are sized down or paused; the system improves itself with every market day.

What we will never do

—Trade in your account. TradeNova is a research and signal service, not a managed account.
—Sell your data. We do not share, rent, or sell user data to third parties.
—Promise specific returns. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and we will say so loudly and often.
—Hide losses. The performance dashboard reports every published signal — winners and losers.
