Documentation

Everything Rearview does is written down, and every page here is also in the app’s Help window: getting started, reading a run, the run settings, whether a result is luck, the language reference, the import guide, next-day orders, trading it live and how Rearview is checked.

Getting started: A first session in Rearview on its sample project: a run, a trade, a scan, a search that turns out to be luck, the lockbox, and bringing your own data.
Reading a run: What each of a run’s views shows, from the Summary to the Chart, the day’s choices and the robustness checks, every figure’s definition, scans, the Runs library, exports and checking that a run reproduces.
Run settings: The period, account, currency, share and coin steps, margin, costs, benchmark, shorts, limits, delisting haircuts and tick sizes a run uses, their defaults, and how to set them in a project file.
Is this result luck?: How Rearview counts every try and judges a result: genetic and CMA-ES searches, Deflated Sharpe, PBO, the Reality Check, stability maps, walk-forward tests, random entries, stress tests, Monte Carlo, trade order and the lockbox.
The strategy language: Every statement and function of Rearview’s strategy language: scans, several strategies, coins, futures, several exchanges, currencies and forex, intraday bars, the editor, and how an AI agent can check its own scripts.
Importing your data: How to bring your own market data into Rearview: the import format, per-symbol files, futures contracts, Norgate and Sharadar, keeping it up to date with daily files, and your broker’s file.
Next-day orders: How Rearview turns a run or a live account into the next session’s orders, the fields they carry and the templates they go out with.
Trading it live: How a live account replays your broker’s fills, makes the next session’s orders from your real account and shows how your trading tracks the backtest and your statement, and how the evening routine does it all on a schedule.
How Rearview is checked: What each of Rearview’s checks does, what it catches and what it can’t, with the latest results.
Changes to results: Every change to Rearview that changed a saved result, with the date, the engine version and the reason.
Release notes: What each version of Rearview adds and fixes, newest first.
Examples: 42 example scripts written from scratch for Rearview, strategies and scans for stocks, coins, futures, forex and intraday bars, each with what it does and its whole script.
