A short answer to what the platform does check and what it does not.
What are a backtest and a forward test?
A backtest runs the strategy rules over past prices: you see how the idea would have worked on history. A forward test is the same strategy on live quotes after launch. The first answers “how it looked”; the second shows how it is going now.
How do strategy contests work?
You submit one strategy to a contest. All participants trade under the same rules on one asset and period, and the place and return are shown on a public leaderboard. The result is saved in the trader's profile.
Is this trading advice or signals?
No. DQuant Lab is a research tool. We do not recommend buying or selling and do not promise returns. The decision and the risk are yours.
Which coins and timeframes are available?
10 crypto pairs: BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE, TRX, LTC, LINK (against USDT). Timeframes: 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1d. EUR/USD, Brent, XAG/USD, and XAU/USD are also available in the Lab.
How much does it cost?
All DQuant Lab features are free: strategy generation, backtests, and contest participation. No payment is required.
What happens after I submit the form?
AI builds the strategy and opens it in the Lab. There you can run a backtest on 10 coins over 9 years and send the strategy to a forward test.
How are my strategies protected?
The strategies themselves are visible only to you. In public contests, other participants see only trading results, not the strategy rules, code, or parameters. All strategies are hidden from outside users.
