About

About Axial Engineering.

Overview

Axial Engineering is a quantitative trading firm based in Australia, founded in 2025. We build self-improving and self-maintaining statistical and quantitative research engines, and the execution infrastructure that runs the strategies they produce against futures markets.

The firm is small and engineering-led. We are not currently raising outside capital. We are building out our research and execution stack with a view to expanding the team and the product over time.

Approach

Strategies move through a fixed lifecycle — candidate, validated, paper, live, retired — with explicit statistical criteria at each step. The research engine generates and tests candidates continuously; the execution engine runs only what survives validation.

Both engines are designed to operate with minimal manual intervention. Performance, drift, and infrastructure health are monitored automatically, and degraded strategies are retired without waiting for a human to notice.
