Question 6

FAQ

Accepted Answer

**Q: Do private backtests count toward badges and XP?** A: Yes — all backtests contribute to your progress regardless of visibility. **Q: Can I make a public backtest private later?** A: Visibility is set at creation time. Clone the backtest with different visibility to change it. **Q: If someone already cloned my public strategy and I make a new version private, does the clone stay public?** A: Yes — clones are independent backtests. The clone owner controls their own visibility settings.
