Trading Lab — Research Or Tradeable, Marked Per Setup
Every setup now carries a badge that tells you whether it is still research or has actually earned a track record.
Aug 3, 2026
Alpha Factory updates can mention product signals, indicators, or portfolio workflows. They are educational product context, not financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset.
Until now every setup in the Trading Lab looked the same on screen, whether there was real evidence behind it or none at all. That is fixed.
Every setup row now carries one of two badges:
- Research — watch-only. This setup type has not proven itself yet. It is the default, and right now it is almost everything.
- Tradeable — this setup type cleared a hard evidence bar: at least 40 decided trades spread across 20 or more separate days, a profit after costs that still holds up at the low end of the range, and a worst case that is not catastrophic.
If the evidence is not there, the badge says Research. It never guesses in the optimistic direction — no track record means no claim. The full bar is spelled out in the stats legend at the top of the page.
Find it at Tools → Trading Lab: the badge sits on every setup in the list.
