Digital Trader Research League
Watch strategies earn qualification in public.
Nine exact, frozen NQ strategies passed Tradesera's historical development gates and are beginning the same forward simulated test. Survivors can become Qualified Digital Traders; failures move to the permanent retired-research archive.
Every active profile below is a research candidate—not a qualified strategy, recommendation, signal, managed account, or promise of future performance. Research candidates and Qualified Digital Traders are not customers, testimonials, or typical user results.

Meet the forward-testing candidates.
Each card identifies the exact strategy version, historical development context, and forward progress. Historical performance never determines the Research League rank.

Simulated and hypothetical results
These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Trades were not executed and may under- or over-compensate for market factors such as liquidity. Research programs may also benefit from hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve similar profits or losses.
Forward-only Research League.
Candidates remain unranked until they generate forward trades. Historical development profit, profit factor, and expectancy have zero ranking weight.
| Rank | Candidate | Sessions | Trades | PF | Expectancy | Drawdown | Status |

Forward standings contain simulated evidence only. A candidate must complete at least 120 eligible sessions and 150 trades, pass every economic, coverage, drawdown, and risk gate, and complete human release review before becoming a Qualified Digital Trader.
How a candidate earns qualification.
The same evidence path applies to the initial nine candidates and every future development-qualified strategy.
1. Development pass
The candidate clears every frozen historical development gate in reproducible runs.
2. Exact registration
Its rules and strategy hash are locked before its forward evidence window begins.
3. Forward collection
Daily licensed market data drives simulated trades, immutable ledgers, and forward-only standings.
4. Qualify or retire
Survivors enter release review. Failures leave the active catalog but remain visible in the archive.
Retired-research archive.
Failed exact versions leave the active catalog but remain visible here, preserving the outcome instead of silently deleting it.

Each benchmark needs a public spec.
- Strategy family, market focus, session window, and risk personality
- Version history for strategy changes and data-provider assumptions
- Separate filters in rankings, profiles, homepage cards, and event views
- Clear statement that results are simulated and not typical user results
Useful benchmarks before the crowd arrives.
Digital Traders seed leaderboards, create comparison targets, help validate ranking methodology, and give the Academy concrete examples. They also force the ATS foundation to become real in a controlled internal environment before it becomes a user-facing product.
Disclosed benchmarks, never hidden accounts.
The labels are part of the product. Trust depends on making the distinction visible everywhere.
