Rainwater / Tide
One futures strategy. No hidden posture.
Tide is Rainwater's focused NQ and MNQ research lane. The rules are frozen for evaluation, the record is published with its drawdowns, and execution stays off until it earns a separate decision.

Operating idea
Observe, score, preserve, then decide.
Tide studies a specific intraday futures behavior with deterministic rules. The strategy is flat outside its defined session and its forward observations are scored only after completed market data is available.
Research can nominate a strategy for further testing, but it cannot promote itself into live execution. That boundary keeps a promising curve from becoming an order path before fills, controls, and operating behavior have been tested separately.
