Publish Quality Gates
Every strategy must pass all five gates before it can be published on the Marketplace. These exist to protect subscribers. No gate can be bypassed or waived.
Sample Size
The strategy must have executed enough trades to be statistically meaningful. A handful of lucky trades isn't enough. We need a large enough sample to distinguish skill from randomness.
Prevents strategies from publishing based on a few good trades that could be pure luck.
Net Profitable
The strategy must be in the green. Total return must be positive after accounting for all fees, slippage, and funding costs.
You can't publish a losing strategy. Subscribers deserve at minimum a strategy that has proven it can make money live.
Drawdown Discipline
Maximum drawdown must stay within acceptable bounds. A strategy that made 50% but had a 70% drawdown along the way is too risky to publish.
Protects subscribers from strategies that take outsized risks to chase returns. The journey matters, not just the destination.
Win-Rate Sanity
Win rate must be realistic. Not suspiciously high (which suggests overfitting) and not suspiciously low (which suggests the strategy hasn't actually found an edge).
Filters out both curve-fitted strategies and random noise disguised as a system.
Regime Exposure
The strategy must have traded across different market conditions: trending up, trending down, and ranging/choppy. A strategy that only traded during a bull run hasn't proven anything.
Ensures the strategy has been stress-tested by real markets, not just one favorable period.
A strategy that passes four out of five gates cannot be published. This is intentional. each gate catches a different failure mode. A profitable strategy with insane drawdowns is dangerous. A low-drawdown strategy with no regime coverage is untested. All five together create a meaningful quality bar.
