Daily Standardization in Simulated Trading Strategies

Summary

This brief support exchange addresses whether a strategy’s data is standardized anew each day during simulated trading. The response says that when the strategy uses parameters bound for live trading, simulated trading standardizes that day’s data. A template strategy submitted to simulation must have live parameters bound, and it then runs using the latest date.

The explanation is conditional and gives no specific normalization formula, feature scope, or code example. It does not clarify whether historical observations are included in each day’s calculation or how parameters are estimated, so the precise procedure cannot be reconstructed from this exchange. Researchers should treat it as platform-specific guidance rather than a general standardization method, and inspect the strategy implementation for details that could affect leakage or consistency between simulation and live use.

Key ideas

• The response ties daily standardization to strategies using parameters bound for live trading.
• A template strategy submitted to simulation must bind live parameters, according to the exchange.
• The strategy then runs on the latest date each day.
• The exchange does not specify the normalization formula or which observations enter the calculation.
