What beginners ask next
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.
Browse MarketplaceWhy verify before I run locally?
Studio replay shows what happened under published assumptions. Runner adds local paper simulation — only after you trust the evidence.
Read help articleWhat is replay in Studio?
Replay is a frozen walkthrough of your completed backtest — not live trading. Use it to inspect trades bar by bar.

Help centerStep 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

Strategy lifecycle
QuantNest is evolving from research and historical replay toward continuous strategy truth. Not every stage is available in the app yet.
1. Research
Inspect and configure a strategy - parameters, symbol, timeframe, certificates, and evidence.
Today: Studio, Marketplace, and verification certificates.
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. 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. 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. 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.
