// ABOUT CALYPSO

Built for traders.
By engineers.

Calypso is an algorithmic trading research platform designed to bring institutional-grade quantitative analysis to independent traders.

Philosophy

Quantitative First

Every signal is backed by math. RSI, EMA crossovers, ADX trend strength -- no gut feelings, no subjective chart patterns. The scoring algorithm combines multiple indicators into a single 0-100 confidence score with clear, reproducible logic.

Transparency Over Black Boxes

You can see exactly how every signal is generated. The indicator calculations are documented, the scoring weights are visible, and the backtest results are reproducible. No proprietary "secret sauce" hiding behind a paywall.

Paper Trading First

Validate before you risk capital. Calypso defaults to paper trading mode so you can test strategies against real market conditions without financial exposure. Live trading integration is a future milestone.

Terminal-Grade UX

Designed for speed and information density. Every pixel earns its place. Dark theme, monospace data, keyboard shortcuts, and zero visual clutter between you and the data that matters.

Technology

What powers the platform.

Analysis Engine

Custom technical analysis engine implementing RSI, EMA, ADX, MACD, and Bollinger Bands with composite scoring.

TypeScript Custom Math

Market Data

Scoring Algorithm

How signals are generated.

// Base score starts at 50 (neutral)

RSI Component:

RSI < 30 (oversold): +20 points, signal = BUY

RSI > 70 (overbought): -20 points, signal = SELL

RSI < 40: +10 points

RSI > 60: -10 points

EMA Crossover Component:

BULLISH (price > EMA-9 > EMA-21): +15 points

BEARISH (price < EMA-9 < EMA-21): -15 points

ADX Component:

ADX > 25 (strong trend): +5 points

Final score clamped to 0-100.

Score ≥ 75 + BUY = STRONG BUY | Score ≤ 25 + SELL = STRONG SELL
