A True Mathematical Innovation

Zoltar owns its intellectual property — a novel regression at the core, paired with a sign-invariant cascade for fusing disparate signals. Structured, data-efficient, and transparent by design.

Sign-Invariant Prediction

A predictor that is reliably wrong carries the same information as one that is reliably right. Zoltar detects contrarian signals and inverts them automatically — no manual intervention.

27-Regime Conditioning

A ternary moderator partition decomposes every month by valuation, price, and earnings change into 27 disjoint regimes — so each signal is judged only where it actually applies.

Youden-J Thresholds

Each cascade gate is set to the threshold that maximizes sensitivity plus specificity — balancing false positives and false negatives, where both carry economic cost.

Bayesian O-Value

A profit-weighted, Laplace-smoothed quality score ranks each model — super-linearly penalizing marginal accuracy so capital concentrates on the highest-conviction signals.

Walk-Forward Valid

Z-scores, thresholds, and flip decisions use only trailing data. Nothing peeks at the future — the backtest is the strategy, evaluated honestly out-of-sample.

Fully Interpretable

Every component is inspectable: regime assignment, variable selection, threshold direction, and flip status. Data-efficient and transparent where deep nets are opaque.

How Zoltar Works

The SICTC engine — regime-conditional, sign-invariant, and fully interpretable. Every step is inspectable, by design.

01

Walk-Forward Data

NO LOOKAHEAD

We ingest 150+ years of valuation data and live macroeconomic indicators, then z-score every feature on trailing windows only. No future data ever enters the model — every prediction is walk-forward valid.

02

Ternary Regime Partition

27 MARKET REGIMES

A ternary moderator partition classifies each month by CAPE valuation, price, and earnings change into one of 27 distinct regimes — because a signal that works in an expansion can mislead in a contraction.

03

Sign-Invariant Cascade

YOUDEN-J + FLIP

Within each regime, a four-model cascade sets optimal Youden's J thresholds and auto-detects contrarian predictors — flipping reliably-wrong signals into reliably-right ones. A Bayesian O-value scores each model's profit-weighted quality.

What You Receive

Every month, our pipeline processes the latest data and delivers a comprehensive report covering equities, sectors, commodities, currencies, and international markets. Every signal is transparent — you see the confidence, the historical basis, and the statistical rigor behind it.

Our strength lies in convergence: when CAPE valuation, macro momentum, technical patterns, liquidity regime, and international signals all agree, conviction is highest.
