TraderMonty Edge Strategy Reviewer
Deterministic quality gate for strategy drafts produced by edge-strategy-designer.
When to Use
- After
edge-strategy-designergeneratesstrategy_drafts/*.yaml - Before exporting drafts to
edge-candidate-agentvia the pipeline - When manually validating a draft strategy for edge plausibility
Prerequisites
- Strategy draft YAML files (output of
edge-strategy-designer) - Python 3.10+ with PyYAML
Workflow
- Load draft YAML files from
--drafts-diror a single--draftfile - Evaluate each draft against 8 criteria (C1-C8) with weighted scoring
- Compute confidence score (weighted average of all criteria)
- Determine verdict: PASS / REVISE / REJECT
- Assess export eligibility (PASS + export_ready_v1 + exportable family)
- Write review output (YAML or JSON) and optional markdown summary
Review Criteria
| # | Criterion | Weight | Key Checks |
|---|---|---|---|
| C1 | Edge Plausibility | 20 | Thesis quality, domain terms, mechanism keywords (continuous 50-95) |
| C2 | Overfitting Risk | 20 | 5-tier filter count scoring (90/80/60/40/10), precise threshold penalty |
| C3 | Sample Adequacy | 15 | Continuous scoring from estimated annual opportunities (10-95) |
| C4 | Regime Dependency | 10 | Cross-regime validation |
| C5 | Exit Calibration | 10 | Stop-loss, reward-to-risk |
| C6 | Risk Concentration | 10 | Position sizing limits |
| C7 | Execution Realism | 10 | Volume filter, export consistency |
| C8 | Invalidation Quality | 5 | Signal count and specificity |
Verdict Logic
- C1 or C2 severity=fail → immediate REJECT
- confidence >= 70, no fail findings → PASS
- confidence < 35 → REJECT
- Otherwise → REVISE (with revision instructions)
