How It Works
Most quant tools make you write the strategy. StratEvo evolves them instead.
You write the rules β StratEvo discovers the rules
You tune parameters β GA tunes parameters
You test on one period β Walk-forward tests on multiple windows
You hope it generalizes β Monte Carlo measures if it does
Random DNA population (484 factor weights + risk parameters)

Each DNA is a weight vector across 484+ factors plus risk/position parameters β all evolvable:
| Parameter | Range | What it controls |
|---|---|---|
| Factor weights (Γ484) | 0.0β1.0 | Which factors matter and how much |
hold_days | 2β60 | Day trades through swing trades |
trailing_stop | % | Trail below peak to lock in profits |
market_regime | sensitivity | Reduce exposure automatically in bear markets |
kelly_fraction | 0β1 | Position sizing from recent win rate |

These are backtests with walk-forward validation, not live trades. That's the whole point of paper trading β proving it works forward, not just backward.
Anti-Overfitting
We learned this the hard way. An early version showed 25,000% returns. Turned out to be a bug β look-ahead bias.
| Defense | What it does |
|---|---|
| Walk-Forward | Multi-window OOS validation. Must profit on data it never trained on. |
| Monte Carlo | 1,000 shuffled iterations. p-value < 0.05 or it's luck. |
| CPCV | Combinatorial Purged Cross-Validation. Industry standard for a reason. |
| Arena Mode | Multiple strategies compete head-to-head. Crowded signals get penalized. |
| Bias Detection | Look-ahead, snooping, survivorship β flagged automatically. |
| Turnover Penalty | Excessive trading is punished. Real transaction costs baked in. |
An honest 33% beats a fake 25,000%.
484+ Factors
| Category | Count | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Crypto-Native | 200 | Funding rate, whale detection, liquidation cascade |
| Momentum | 14 | ROC, acceleration, trend strength |
| Volume & Flow | 13 | OBV, smart money, Wyckoff VSA |
| Volatility | 13 | ATR, Bollinger squeeze, vol-of-vol |
| Mean Reversion | 12 | Z-score, Keltner channel position |

| + 5 more categories | 37 | Risk, quality, price structure, sentiment, DRL |
All factor weights are discovered by evolution. Zero manual tuning.
Strategy Styles
The algorithm converges on recognizable trading styles on its own:
| Style | What the DNA learned |
|---|---|
| Value Seeker | Buys cheap, holds patient |
| Momentum Rider | Chases runners, dumps laggards |
| Mean Reverter | Bets on bounce-backs |
| Flow Reader | Follows the money β volume leads price |
| Volatility Hunter | Profits from vol expansion |
| Crypto Native | 200 factors built for 24/7 markets |
