What Edge Decay Monitor Does

The Edge Decay Monitor calculates a rolling average of a strategy's return on investment (ROI) from your trading history.

This pillar tracks the performance of your trading strategies over time to detect when they are losing their predictive power. It acts as an early warning system, helping you adapt before a winning strategy starts losing money.

How Edge Decay Monitor Works — Methodology

The core calculation is a 30-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) of a strategy's daily ROI. Edge decay is quantified by the slope of a linear regression line fitted to the last 15 periods of the SMA. A 'Regime Change Flag' is triggered if the slope is negative and statistically significant (p-value < 0.05) for three consecutive periods.
