Separate a strategy return series into declared baseline exposure and residual edge with returns-based OLS attribution, HAC inference, rolling stability, alternate-baseline sensitivity, and regime breakdowns. Use when evaluating whether backtest, out-of-sample, or live returns contain independent alpha beyond market, equal-weight, momentum, sector, or user-supplied factor returns; when explaining whether a drawdown came from baseline exposure or strategy-specific behavior; or when a strategy…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Residual Edge Analyzer ## Overview Test whether a strategy's apparent performance survives explicit comparison with predeclared baseline return series. Produce an auditable JSON artifact and a concise Markdown report without fetching data or changing trading exposure. Treat this as a falsification gate after `backtest-expert`, not as trade authorization. ## Prerequisites - Use Python 3.9+. - Prepare one CSV containing an ISO date, strategy return, and every baseline return on the same row. - Prepare a JSON specification following the [input contract](https://github.com/tradermonty/claude-trading-skills/blob/main/skills/residual-edge-analyzer/references/input-contract.md). - Supply actual period returns. Do not substitute CAGR, Sharpe, cumulative P&L, or other summary metrics. ## Workflow ### 1. Define the question before inspecting results State the claimed independent edge in one sentence. Select a primary baseline that is a plausible simple copy of the strategy, then select at least one alternate baseline model. Record these declarations in the config: - `baseline_selection: predeclared` …

How to install
mdr add tradermonty/claude-trading-skills/residual-edge-analyzer@sha256:13fd8e02dfc7359aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.20ac1d6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
