Research Document
Research Document
The Research Document is an AI-generated report that describes your strategy's concept, methodology, and technical foundation in neutral, academic terms.
What is a Research Document?
Unlike the AI Analysis Report (which examines performance), the Research Document focuses on the strategy itself — its design, indicators, logic, and theoretical basis. It's generated by Claude Opus 4.5 and uses neutral research terminology.
Purpose
- Documentation — formal description of your strategy methodology
- Sharing — explain your approach to others without revealing exact parameters
- Education — understand the theory behind your chosen indicators
- Compliance — uses neutral research language (no buy/sell recommendations)
How to Generate
- Open a completed backtest results page
- Find the Research Document section
- Click Generate Spec
- Wait 30–60 seconds for the document to generate
What It Includes
The document typically covers:
- Strategy Overview — high-level description of the trading approach
- Indicator Analysis — detailed explanation of each indicator used, including mathematical formulas and typical behavior
- Condition Logic — how entry and exit conditions interact
- Risk Framework — description of risk management approach (SL, TP, position sizing)
- Market Context — what market conditions the strategy targets
- Technical Foundation — academic-style description of the underlying theory
Key Differences from AI Analysis
| Aspect | Research Document | AI Analysis | |--------|------------------|-------------| | Focus | Strategy design & theory | Performance & results | | Tone | Academic, neutral | Analytical, practical | | Data used | Strategy config + indicator descriptions | Config + backtest metrics | | Mentions performance? | No | Yes | | Use case | Documentation, sharing | Optimization, learning |
Privacy & Visibility
The Research Document respects your backtest's visibility settings:
- Public backtests — anyone can view the document
- Private backtests — only you and users with access can view
- Confidential — document shows general methodology without exact parameters
Neutral Terminology
The document uses research-oriented language:
- "The model enters a position" (not "buy" or "sell")
- "The configuration targets mean-reverting behavior" (not "this strategy makes money when...")
- "Risk parameters constrain downside exposure" (not "stop-loss protects your money")
This approach ensures regulatory compliance and avoids misleading language.
