Until today, CoinLAB has been an instrument for reading the market. Now there's a second room in the house: a Lab that tests strategies against history — and deals you the survivors as graded cards.
Open the new backtest screen and the setup asks for exactly four things: a coin, a timeframe, a direction (long or short), and a leverage. Press run, and the Lab deals you a strategy card — a complete trading strategy with its entire simulated life on display.
You never write a line of code. For every combination, the Lab has run an evolutionary search — roughly 24,000 candidate strategies generated, tested on real candles, and pruned generation after generation. What survives that gauntlet becomes the card in your hand.
A pretty equity curve is easy to manufacture — history will pose for anyone who flatters it. So before a strategy can become a card, it faces four separate tests: walk-forward (judged window by window as the test marches through time), out-of-sample (the newest stretch graded separately — it had to still be working at the end), robustness (parameters nudged — fragile fits shatter), and Monte-Carlo (trades reshuffled a thousand times — luck dies here).
Each gate a strategy clears appears on its report as a badge. That's the Lab's whole posture: skepticism first, applause later.
Every card arrives graded — Normal, Rare, Unique, Epic, or Legendary. The tier looks like a trading-card game, but it's pure math: the band of a 0–100 score the strategy earned in testing, shown as a light on the card, not a badge you could polish. Pull the same card twice and the grade never changes — and there's nothing you can buy that would change it.
The card opens into a full report: total return over the test window, eight vital signs (CAGR, Sharpe, Sortino, profit factor, max drawdown, win rate, trade count, average hold), a plain-English verdict describing how it trades, the real price chart with every entry and exit stamped on it, and a trade-by-trade log you can export as CSV. Fees and funding are already deducted inside the simulation.
And the same honesty as everything else on this site: these are hypothetical results on past data — a record, never a promise. The Lab is open. Go pull a card.
