Who makes Reamer Research and Reamer Server? Is Reamer Labs legitimate?

Reamer Labs is Chaitanya Palghadmal, a sole proprietor in Pune, India, who writes both products, publishes their benchmarks and answers the support email. It is a real business but a small, new one, so check it rather than trust it: the legal terms name him, payment runs through Paddle as merchant of record, and the method and raw data behind the figures are published with DOIs.

Who is behind it

One person, by design. Chaitanya started as a retail trader and became an independent quant researcher, with a computer engineering degree and a master's in data analytics. Reamer Labs began as tooling for his own research and became a business when it was clear other traders needed the same thing. See About.

What you can check yourself

  • The legal party. The terms and the licence in the kit name Chaitanya Palghadmal, doing business as Reamer Labs, under Indian law.
  • The payment. Checkout runs through Paddle, which acts as merchant of record: it issues the invoice and handles your card, and Reamer Labs never sees your payment details.
  • The author's record. His ORCID profile ties his name to his published research.
  • The method. The whitepaper behind the performance figures has a DOI, and so does the raw benchmark data. Where the two differ, the raw files win.
  • The integrations. Uncut recordings show an AI agent integrating each product from the kit documents alone. See How long does integration take?
  • The support record. Bug reports are tracked in public on GitHub.

What to weigh against it

  • It is newly launched. There are no customer quotes on the site, and the benchmarks have not been audited by a third party.
  • It is one person. If that is a concern for your firm, there is a source escrow you can fund; the terms are on the About page.

The cheapest test is the trial: $225 for Reamer Research or $900 for Reamer Server, for 30 days. See pricing.

Next questions

Have the benchmarks been independently verified?No. No third party has audited the Reamer Research or Reamer Server benchmarks; Reamer Labs ran them itself. What you can check is the method, published as a whitepaper with a DOI, the raw output of every run, also published, and your own hardware, using the benchmark programs that ship in each kit.Reamer Labs is one person. What happens if it stops?Your installed copy keeps running until its licence term ends, because the licence is checked on your machine, not against a server. What stops is updates, support, renewals and moving the licence to a new machine. If you need protection beyond that, you can set up a source escrow at your own cost, which releases the source to you only if Reamer Labs becomes insolvent or ends the product.Does my strategy code or data ever leave my machine?No. Reamer Research and Reamer Server run entirely on your own machine, and neither sends strategy code, data, results or orders to Reamer Labs. Their only contact with Reamer Labs is activating or deactivating a licence, which sends the licence key and a one-way hash of the machine's identity. There is no telemetry, no usage analytics and no crash reporting.Is it secure? Can it pass my firm's vendor review?Each kit ships the documents a vendor review usually asks for, including a filled-in security questionnaire, a software bill of materials and signed release files. The security testing behind them was done by Reamer Labs itself; no outside firm has audited either product. Whether that is enough depends on your firm's policy, and you can test the binaries yourself.Are there customer reviews?Not yet. Reamer Research and Reamer Server are newly launched, and there are no published customer reviews or testimonials. Reviews will appear on the public software listings as customers post them. Until then, the evidence you can check is the uncut integration recordings, the published benchmark method and raw data, and the trial.Who are Reamer Research and Reamer Server for, and who are they not for?They are for systematic quants who write their own code and trade mid-frequency strategies on bars, held from minutes to days, whether independent or employed at a firm. They are not for high-frequency or order-book (level 2 or level 3) strategies, options modelling, discretionary or point-and-click trading, or anyone who wants market data, a hosted platform or a ready-made broker connection included.

Every answer here restates the documents that ship in the kit, which are authoritative. All questions.
