Sandbox

A replay on historical prices

The sandbox replays the account on historical prices. It is not a live order.

What this check looks at

The sandbox replays the account on prices that already printed. The locked rules are what the replay follows. The path you read is that account on that history.

Why the account is replayed

A summary statistic can hide the path of the account. Replaying the account on historical prices shows that path as a sequence of account states. The replay stays on history.

How Alphavo runs it

The replay uses historical prices. It does not send a live order. A Candidate Strategy is not Alpha. When a strategy is shown, the star is 0 stars, 1 star, 2 stars, or 3 stars.

How to read the result

Read the sandbox as the account walked through historical prices. The star on a shown strategy is 0 stars, 1 star, 2 stars, or 3 stars. The replay itself does not place an order.

Limits

• The sandbox is not a live order.
• A historical replay does not turn a Candidate Strategy into Alpha.
