Signal Trading & Trading Lab

Trading Lab (isolated research)
   research freedom, hypotheses, experiments
        ↓  evidence, not authority
   controlled promotion boundary
        ↓  independent validation + production gates
Signal Trading (production / execution authority)

Trading Lab is not a fork of Signal Trading and not a second production system — it has no path to live execution of its own. A result only reaches production through an explicit handoff, re-validated independently rather than trusted on the strength of a research pass.

• Separation of live execution, research/promotion, and observability/governance into distinct roles rather than one undifferentiated system
• An explicit risk/promotion gate stands between a research result and production authority — a passing experiment is evidence, not a deployment
• Human-in-the-loop by design at the production boundary, not an autonomous pipeline
• Research stays isolated so experimentation cannot degrade or bypass production safety

Active. Both the production system and the research lab are in ongoing use; the backing repositories are private, so there is no public repository link at this time.
