ConvexPi

Our mission

Make quantitative finance empirical again.

Most of finance education — and a lot of finance research — rewards the wrong thing: a backtest that looks brilliant on the data it was fit to. ConvexPi is built around the only question that matters, does it work on data you have never seen?

We teach the discipline of honest, out-of-sample evaluation, and we build the tools to practice it in the open: a simulation-first curriculum, a research library that is candid about which anomalies survive and which decayed after publication, an in-browser playground, a live market arena, and an open package of verified strategy replications. The grader, the data pipeline, the benchmark logic — all open, so students can inspect the machinery, instructors can adapt it, and researchers can extend it.

Join us

ConvexPi is built in the open, and it gets better with every contributor. However you like to work, there's a way in:

Learn

Start with Mission 1 and work through the curriculum, the research library, and the playground.

Compete

Submit a strategy or a live agent to the open ladder and rolling seasons — scored honestly out of sample.

Replicate

Add a reference replication of a canonical strategy (fork → PR → CI). Multiple takes welcome.

Edit the wikis

Improve a paper wiki, or write one that does not exist yet. Earn reputation and badges.

See the whole open-source stack at github.com/convexpi and the contributors leaderboard.

Support the project

ConvexPi is free and open source. The best ways to support it:

  • Star and share the repos on GitHub — it genuinely helps others find the work.
  • Contribute a replication, a wiki, or a fix — the commons grows by hand.
  • 🎓Teach with it — run a cohort for your course, or tell a colleague who might.
  • Get in touch if you'd like to partner, sponsor, or help in another way — details below.
