Validated Strategies

Self-serve · API

Validate your own strategy

Same 11 gates. Same discipline. Your strategy. Submit a spec, get an honest verdict — and on a pass, an auto-published report on the same engine that runs this site.

The flow

  1. Submit a strategy spec to /api/validate (or via the dashboard, coming soon).
  2. Pre-register. Your spec is locked before any out-of-sample metric is computed — no post-hoc tuning.
  3. 11 gates. Profit factor, deflated Sharpe, the random-permutation placebo, 2× cost stress, walk-forward.
  4. Verdict. Full scorecard by email, pass or fail — with the exact gate that killed it.
  5. Publish. On a pass, /strategy/<slug> is generated automatically from your results.

POST /api/validate

curl -X POST https://validatedstrategies.com/api/validate \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "name": "My ORB",
    "archetype": "opening range breakout",
    "instruments": "XAUUSD",
    "timeframe": "M5",
    "rules": "long break of NY 30-min range, ATR stop, 2R target",
    "email": "you@fund.com"
  }'

Returns 202 with a jobId and the URL your report will publish to. A GET on the same endpoint returns the full field schema.

Pricing

A flat fee per validation. You are buying an honest answer in a market full of survivorship-biased puff. The validation is the product — and the published track record of failures is what makes a pass worth something.

Frequently asked

How does self-serve strategy validation work?

Submit your strategy spec to https://validatedstrategies.com/api/validate. It is pre-registered (locked before any out-of-sample metric is computed), then run through the same 11 gates as everything on the scoreboard. You get the full scorecard by email — pass or fail — and on a pass a /strategy page is auto-published from your results.

What does a strategy validation cost?

A flat fee per validation. You are paying for an honest answer: most strategies fail, and we tell you exactly which gate killed yours — the placebo, the cost stress, the drawdown, or the deflated Sharpe.
