About Algo Studio
Backtests prove an edge existed.
We prove it still does.
A backtest tells you a strategy worked under historical conditions. It doesn't tell you whether that edge survives once capital is live — when spreads widen, liquidity shifts, and market regimes change.
Most platforms show you what's happening. Equity curves. Open trades. P&L. But they don't measure whether your strategy still operates within the bounds that justified running it.
Algo Studio exists to close that gap: continuous monitoring that compares live performance against your own statistical baseline — and acts when the two diverge.
Monitoring, not trading
Algo Studio does not place trades, generate signals, or interact with broker execution. It monitors. It measures live behavior against validated baselines. When deviation is detected, it surfaces the evidence and can automatically halt trading.
Monitor
Continuous real-time comparison of live EA performance against backtest expectations.
Detect
CUSUM statistical monitoring catches persistent drift before it becomes visible drawdown.
Govern
Automatic halt on degradation. Every intervention logged in a tamper-evident audit trail.
Evidence over opinion
Every claim about a strategy should be verifiable. Not asserted — measured. Not trusted — proven against data.
Hash-chained proof logs
Every trade and intervention is cryptographically chained. Tamper-evident by construction.
Deterministic scoring
Health scores computed from defined inputs. Same data produces the same score every time.
Snapshot-bound verification
Governance snapshots are bound to the exact state at measurement time. Context is preserved.
Auditable transitions
Every state change is recorded, timestamped, and attributed. Nothing happens off the record.
Public, verifiable track records
Strategies that pass verification can generate public proof pages — independently accessible records of validation history, live metrics, and governance decisions. Anyone with the link can inspect the evidence.
