Pros & cons
Pros
- Strategies come from published academic research with sources linked, not from a vendor's marketing page
- Out-of-sample backtests with code are exactly the evidence standard this site keeps asking for
- A free tier of strategies exists before the paywall
Cons
- Premium is a real research budget (~$449/quarter or ~$599/yr) aimed at serious quants
- Published anomalies decay; a documented edge is not a guaranteed live one
- Research only — implementing, testing and executing a strategy is entirely on you
