A Saved System connects one approach with its Backtest, live trades, notes, risk settings, and reviews.
What belongs together#
Keep trades in one system when they follow the same core rules and should share one expected behaviour. Separate them when a different setup, market logic, risk model, or execution process would make one baseline misleading.
Use a name that identifies the approach. A market and setup name is more useful than System 1.
How the Journal uses systems#
The global Journal stores each live trade once. Assigning a trade makes it appear in that system's Journal view without copying the trade.
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unassigned | Quantprove does not yet know which system owns the trade. |
| Assigned | The trade is connected to a Saved System. |
| Excluded | The trade remains in the Journal but does not enter that system's analysis. |
Your notes and review context do not rewrite broker-sourced trade data.
Set up a system#
- Open Saved Systems or the Journal.
- Create a clear name for one approach.
- Add its Backtest when historical evidence is available.
- Assign matching live trades from the Journal.
- Add notes and review context where useful.
- Keep new synced or imported trades assigned consistently.
What happens next#
Backtest establishes the expectation. Live Journal trades can support Validation and Monitor as evidence grows.
Use Assign trades to a system for the Journal workflow.
