Our Philosophy
Professional Trading Models for TradingView - Accessible to Everyone
EdgeTools creates transparent, scientifically-founded trading tools that combine fundamental data, volatility analysis, market regimes, and technical analysis. Our approach integrates momentum, mean reversion, sector analysis, and volatility studies with customizable parameters and visual dashboard components for professional TradingView users.
Core Principles
Six fundamental beliefs that guide everything we build and every decision we make.
Science Over Speculation
Every indicator is grounded in peer-reviewed academic research and rigorous statistical analysis. We reject market folklore in favor of empirical evidence.
Transparency & Community
Our free models are fully open source - the community can review, verify, and contribute. Paid models remain proprietary but with complete methodology documentation.
Fundamental + Technical Integration
Combining company fundamentals, market volatility, regime analysis, and chart patterns. Multi-dimensional approach using momentum, mean reversion, sector analysis, and volatility studies.
Risk-First Mindset
Understanding what you can lose is more important than projecting what you might gain. Risk management is the foundation of sustainable trading.
User Control & Customization
Adjustable parameters, custom alerts, multi-timeframe analysis, and visual dashboard components. Tools that adapt to your trading style and preferences.
Quantitative Humility
Models are tools, not crystal balls. We acknowledge uncertainty and build robustness into our approach rather than claiming false precision.
Our Approach
Evidence-Based Foundation
Every EdgeTools indicator begins with peer-reviewed academic research from leading researchers like Antonacci, Brock, Lakonishok, and Koutoupis. We don't create models based on market hunches or technical analysis folklore. Instead, we identify robust theoretical frameworks from established finance literature, then adapt these proven methodologies for practical TradingView applications.
Rigorous Testing
Before any model reaches traders, it undergoes extensive backtesting across multiple market conditions, asset classes, and time periods. We stress-test our indicators against historical data, validate statistical significance, and ensure they perform as expected during various market regimes.
Dual Approach to Transparency
Our free models are completely open source - full code transparency for community review and contribution. Professional paid models are proprietary to protect intellectual property, but come with comprehensive documentation explaining theory, data sources, methodology, and proper interpretation. No unexplained black boxes.
Drawing from decades of academic literature and empirical studies
Community can review, verify, and contribute to our free indicators
Complete methodology docs for all models - no unexplained calculations
Democratizing Professional Trading Tools
Why TradingView?
We chose TradingView as our platform because of its massive global reach and accessibility. The same professional-grade models that cost thousands of USD on Bloomberg Terminal or Refinitiv are now available to every trader at a fraction of the cost. We believe sophisticated financial analysis shouldn't be exclusive to institutional investors.
Educating Retail Traders
Our mission extends beyond providing tools - we're committed to educating retail traders and offering a realistic perspective on financial markets. No get-rich-quick schemes, no overpriced technical analysis courses, no false promises. Just professional-grade trading models made accessible to everyone.
Professional Quality, Fair Pricing
We deliver institutional-quality models at prices that make sense for individual traders. No inflated costs, no artificial scarcity. Our goal is to level the playing field between retail and institutional traders by providing the same analytical tools used by professional fund managers and quantitative researchers.

Honest, realistic perspective on trading - no false promises
What We Stand For
Evidence Over Emotion
Markets are driven by human psychology, but successful trading requires removing emotion from decision-making. We provide objective, data-driven tools that help traders make rational decisions based on statistical evidence rather than fear, greed, or market noise.
Honest Education Over Exploitation
We reject the commercialization of trading education that exploits retail traders with overpriced courses and false promises. Instead, we provide genuine education through our models - explaining the underlying economic theory, market dynamics, and proper interpretation. Our goal is to create informed traders, not generate revenue through misleading marketing.
Long-term Perspective
While markets move in minutes and seconds, wealth is built over years and decades. Our models focus on identifying sustainable trends and structural changes rather than short-term price movements. We optimize for long-term success, not quick profits.
