Validate a signal

Validation is the core product: your signal goes through the full battery and comes back with a signed verdict. Three input shapes are accepted — a returns series, an equity curve, or a trade list.

What to send

JSON with your series and its timestamps, plus minimal context (instrument class, intended trading frequency, costs assumption if you have one). The demo endpoint uses the identical shape — inspect a golden specimen file to see it: what the specimen contains is exactly what you would send about your own signal.

What happens to it

The battery runs the four gates in order: net edge after realistic costs → deflation for every variant your family has tried → a placebo trial against 500 random twins → capacity and robustness attacks. The verdict names the first gate that killed it.

Family accounting — read this before tweaking

Variants of one idea share one statistical budget. Testing „the same signal but with lookback 21 instead of 20" is not a fresh signal — and pretending it is would be exactly the overfitting trick the battery exists to catch. That is why variants are cheaper ($0.10) but draw down search_budget_left. When the budget is exhausted, the honest answer about another tweak is already fail — we tell you instead of taking your money for theater.

Your strategy is processed for the trial and not retained: we store a one-way fingerprint and the cause of death, never the strategy. Details: trust.
