Before you trust the curve, pressure-test the evidence.
A good-looking backtest can still hide weak data, optimistic costs, timing leakage, regime concentration, or one-trade dependency. VaultTrade reviews the submitted evidence and turns it into a research-only verdict report.
The equity curve looks strong, but you are not sure whether costs were realistic.
The result may depend on one month, one session, or a handful of trades.
The test may not separate in-sample tuning from out-of-sample behaviour.
You need a plain-English report that states what the evidence can and cannot support.
What gets checked
Evidence pressure, not trade calls.
Data source, timestamps, gaps, duplicates, and session assumptions
Fees, spread, slippage, turnover, and fill realism
Train versus out-of-sample behaviour where the evidence supports it
Top-trade dependency, long/short asymmetry, and regime concentration
Verdict boundaries with next evidence steps
Useful submission material
What to send first.
Start with a short strategy description and the evidence you already have. Public intake does not require file upload; follow-up happens after scope is agreed.

Research-only boundary
VaultTrade Reality Check is research-only. It does not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, trading signals, copy trading, portfolio management, or execution.
Give the strategy a fair test before you rely on the story.
Submit the context, assumptions, and evidence you have. The first response confirms scope and whether the evidence is enough for a useful review.
