Who is behind SaneSignals.
SaneSignals and Quant Frankly are two brands of one small, independent company: Slingshot Studios EOOD, registered in Bulgaria. SaneSignals sells TradingView indicators and strategies for futures traders. Quant Frankly is the quant research behind them, and publishes its tests of popular trading claims with the code. Both are run by the founder, named below, and every fact on this page links to a public record you can check yourself.
Daniel Mayer Frank
I'm Daniel Mayer Frank, founder of Slingshot Studios, and I live in Sofia.
I have run businesses since I finished university in 2013. From 2014 to 2022 I was CEO of Franktrax, an affiliate network I built with my partner. He runs it now and I stay on as co-owner. My degree has nothing to do with any of this: I studied pop and jazz guitar at Bulgaria's National Academy of Music, back when the course took one guitarist a year.
Bitcoin's run in 2017 is what first made me watch markets. By 2022 trading was my main work, and by 2025 I was trading futures consistently on funded prop-firm accounts. Two things changed how I see it. A strategy that had worked for months stopped working, and a prop firm took most of an account's earned buffer over a rule that was not written anywhere. I'm an analytical person, so I stopped trusting gut feel and started testing everything I could. Most of what trading content claims did not survive. A real, lasting edge turned out to be rare and hard to find.
SaneSignals is what I built from that. Every rule in our tools is written down, and every result we publish can be re-checked in TradingView's own Strategy Tester. Quant Frankly is the research side: the quant analysis every SaneSignals product comes out of, and where we publish tests of popular trading claims. We use the open-source PyneCore engine to check that TradingView and our Python research produce the same trades, and I am its most active outside bug reporter: many of my 20 reports came with a proposed code fix, and 18 are now fixed in its releases.
I also co-founded ConvertScale, a separate software company.

03 How we work
Test before we publish. Every rule is checked for lookahead (a signal that secretly uses future prices) before any result is shown.
Show the method. Where we publish a number, we say how it was made and what it leaves out.
No promises. Past and simulated results are hypothetical and do not predict future results. Our tools and pages are education, not advice. Risk disclaimer
