Short answers to the question you probably have right now — tap to expand.

Do I need an account to browse?

No. Marketplace and certificates are free to read. Sign in when you are ready to purchase or save progress.

Why verify before I run locally?

Studio replay shows what happened under published assumptions. Runner adds local paper simulation — only after you trust the evidence.

What is replay in Studio?

Replay is a frozen walkthrough of your completed backtest — not live trading. Use it to inspect trades bar by bar.

Find a strategy in Marketplace, verify it in Studio, then start paper mode with QuantNest Runner when the listing supports it (EMA Crossover Reference today). Return to My strategies for run status. QuantNest does not hold funds or place orders for you.
  1. Step 01

    Find a strategy

    Browse the Marketplace and open a listing. Read the certificate and verification proof before you purchase. Verified means evidence is on file - not a profit endorsement.

  2. Step 02

    Verify the evidence

    Open Studio from My strategies. Run a backtest on your settings, review the results on the chart, and compare them to the certificate - before you run locally.

  3. Step 03

    Paper mode with QuantNest Runner

    QuantNest Runner is local execution infrastructure — paper trading runs on your PC, not in the browser. Connect from Studio after you verify. EMA Crossover Reference today; other listings are Studio-only. We do not hold funds or place orders for you.

  4. Step 04

    Return to My strategies

    After you start paper mode, return to My strategies to see run status and what changed since your last visit.

Suggested golden path

Find a strategy → verify evidence in Studio → start paper mode with QuantNest Runner → return to My strategies for status. Marketplace publishing is curated. Verification records evidence; catalog review decides listing. Verification alone does not publish.

Optional paths (creators)

Not part of the buyer verify-and-run path. Skip these unless you are submitting or publishing strategies.

  1. Step A

    Upload your own strategy

    Submit a Python strategy through strategy intake. Verification records evidence; catalog review decides listing. After upload, track verification status from your creator pipeline.

  2. Step B

    Become a creator

    Creators publish strategies to the curated Marketplace, track verification and earnings, and maintain listings over time. Publisher intake is invite-only.

Strategy lifecycle

Research today; continuous observation and execution attach to verified truth over time.

Strategy lifecycle

QuantNest is evolving from research and historical replay toward continuous strategy truth. Not every stage is available in the app yet.

  1. 1. Research

    Inspect and configure a strategy - parameters, symbol, timeframe, certificates, and evidence.

    Today: Studio, Marketplace, and verification certificates.

  2. 2. Live session · partial

    Optional simulated continuity on new closed bars after historical replay - same rules as backtest, browser-only, no orders.

    Today: Available for entitled listings when enabled: start continuity after replay. Market Preview remains live candles only.

  3. 3. Enable Autonomous Execution · partial

    Attach user-owned execution to a verified session - export contracts and local runner, not platform orders.

    Today: Optional Evidence snapshot and runner package export; QuantNest Runner for the primary Run path.

  4. 4. Strategy Continuity · partial

    Ongoing truth record - what the strategy is, what ran, what was verified, and what changed.

    Today: Verification history and backtest runs on file; no unified continuity timeline UI yet.

  5. 5. Drift / Maintenance / Health · partial

    Observability over continuity - explainable divergence, maintenance obligation, integrity summary.

    Today: Listing continuity fields on strategy detail; live execution and drift monitoring publish when backed by API data.

Today: research in Studio, Market Preview, and historical replay after run backtest (frozen chart, markers, trades). Optional live session when enabled for your listing.

Next: unified Strategy Continuity record, explicit Enable Autonomous Execution gate, and Drift / Maintenance / Strategy Health when backed by real signals.

Historical replay is the chart state after a historical backtest - a fixed run frozen on the chart. Live session simulates only new closed bars after that anchor.
