SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the tedious and error-prone manual work of creating visual validations for open-xquant quant research runs, saving you time when verifying indicator performance, signal alignment and run artifact correctness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stored Run Chart Rendering: Generate indicator and price charts directly from existing open-xquant run results, no need to process raw market data or write custom plotting code.
  • Built-in Validation Checks: Automatically verifies requested indicators exist in the run's symbol data, accounts for expected NaN warmup regions, and confirms signal events align with intended dates.
  • Use Case: After running a backtest for a strategy using SPY data with fast and slow moving average indicators, use this Skill to quickly visualize the indicator overlays and confirm signal timing matches your strategy logic.

Quick Start

Use the plot-indicators skill to generate a chart of the sma_fast and sma_slow indicators overlaid on price for the SPY symbol from your latest run_1 backtest result.

FAQPage Schema
How do I visualize backtest trading signals and indicators without writing custom plotting code?

To visualize backtest trading signals without custom plotting code, render indicator overlays and price data directly from stored open-xquant quant research run artifacts to generate deterministic, reproducible charts.

What is the best way to verify signal alignment and indicator performance after a quant strategy backtest?

Verifying signal alignment and indicator performance after a backtest involves rendering visual charts from stored run results and applying built-in validation checks to confirm signal events align with intended dates.

How does chart rendering handle NaN warmup regions for moving average indicators in backtest results?

Chart rendering handles NaN warmup regions by automatically accounting for expected NaN areas in the run's symbol data, ensuring visual validations of moving average indicators remain accurate and unskewed.

Can I use stored open-xquant run results to validate if specific indicators exist for a symbol?

Yes, you can use stored open-xquant run results to validate specific indicators, as built-in validation checks automatically verify that requested indicators exist in the run's symbol data before rendering charts.

Do I need to process raw market data to generate trading visualization charts for a backtest run?

No, you do not need to process raw market data for trading visualization, because charts are generated deterministically and reproducibly directly from validated run artifacts without raw data processing.
