Reading a strategy page

Everything a run produced, from the hypothesis to the analyst's last decision.

Header and stage

The top of the page shows the strategy name, its venue and instrument, the current stage badge and the owner's controls: pause, resume, stop, promote to paper, promote to live and share a track record. Platform strategies show the same information without the controls.

Metrics and the equity curve

The metrics block reports net return, Sharpe ratio, maximum drawdown, profit factor, win rate, trade count and the average return per trade as a percentage of notional. The equity curve is marked to market on every bar and includes funding and market impact, so it matches the drawdown figure.

Trades and positions

The trade list shows each entry and exit with side, size, duration, commissions and profit. Open positions at the end of the test are reported separately so unrealised results are never mixed into realised ones.

Verification and QA

The verification block lists each layer with a pass or fail, the sandbox trade count and the failure text when a layer failed. QA findings that changed the code are visible in the run's iteration history.

Optimisation results

After optimisation the page shows the parameter search ranges, the best parameters, the walk-forward in-sample and out-of-sample results per window, the holdout result and the overfitting statistics the analyst used.

Decisions and history

Every analyst verdict, gate result, waiver and risk review is stored with its reasoning and timestamp. Reading this history explains why a strategy was iterated three times, or why a promising backtest was abandoned after optimisation.

Source code

The strategy's code is shown with a copy button. Marketplace subscribers see code only when the listing offers it; owners always do. The code is the exact artifact that was verified, backtested and, if promoted, is running in paper or live trading.
