SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Post-trade forensics provide continuous validation that the structural edge a strategy exploits still exists after costs, and detects decay due to microstructure regime change or crowding, enabling proactive quarantine, risk scaling, and revalidation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Continuous expected vs realized performance monitoring across slippage, hit rate, and net alpha to identify edge decay.
  • Regime stability and microstructure crowding detection to preempt degradation and latency issues.
  • Automated interventions (quarantine, risk scaling, revalidation) to preserve strategy health and inform hypothesis updates.

Quick Start

Run a daily health check against live and backtest baselines to surface decay signals.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect intraday edge decay from slippage and fill rate degradation?

Detect intraday edge decay by comparing expected versus realized execution metrics across slippage, fill rate, hit rate, and alpha. This continuous monitoring surfaces structural degradation caused by microstructure regime shifts or crowding.

What is post-trade forensics for algorithmic trading strategies?

Post-trade forensics is the continuous validation that a strategy's structural edge still exists after costs. It identifies decay due to microstructure regime change or crowding, enabling proactive quarantine and revalidation.

How do I monitor backtest baselines against live trade records for alpha decay?

Integrate live trade records with backtest baselines to run daily health checks. This surfaces decay signals by quantifying the gap between expected and realized net alpha performance.

Can I automate risk scaling and strategy quarantines when microstructure crowding occurs?

Yes, automated interventions like quarantine, risk scaling, and hypothesis revalidation are triggered when decay is detected. This preserves strategy health by preempting degradation from crowding and latency issues.

Does post-trade forensics work for monitoring latency effects and regime shifts?

Post-trade forensics monitors regime stability and latency effects by comparing expected versus realized execution metrics. It detects microstructure regime shifts that degrade intraday performance.

What is the best way to validate if my strategy's structural edge still exists after trading costs?

Validate structural edge by applying post-trade forensics to compare expected versus realized execution metrics intraday and post-trade. This quantifies net alpha degradation and drives automated risk scaling interventions.
