Review, verification and publishing

A Strategy does not appear on the Marketplace by being created.

Between a Provider writing an application and a Strategy being listed, there is a review, an approval, and a technical gate the Strategy has to pass on its own. This page describes that process exactly as it works, including what it does not check.

This page is our own process. For the reader's side of it, the questions worth asking of any published record, see verified track records.

Verified does not mean profitable. It means Triggon reviewed the application, approved the Provider, and the Strategy passed the checks below before it could publish. It is a statement about process, never a prediction, an endorsement or a guarantee of results. What a Strategy has actually done is a separate thing entirely, and you read it yourself from its record.

The six steps, in order

Each one has to complete before the next can start.

  1. Create. The Provider completes an application describing the Strategy and themselves: the markets and asset class it trades, the exchange or broker it runs on, its trading styles, its leverage model, its take-profit structure, the specific assets it declares, when it is active, its subscription price, and their own profile and identity details. Free-text fields are sanitised, and the declared values are checked for internal sense: take-profit levels must move in the right direction, an instrument has to be able to hold the position type declared for it, and the price has to meet the Strategy's minimum.
  2. Submit. The application moves to Submitted and waits. The Hub Creation Cost is paid at this point, and a revision of a returned application is never charged a second fee.
  3. Review. An admin opens the application, which moves it to In review, and reads what was submitted. There are three outcomes, and two of them require the reviewer to write a reason: Approved, Revisions requested, or Rejected. A rejection or a revision request without an explanation is refused by the system, so a Provider is never left guessing.
  4. Approval. Approval creates the Provider's public profile and its permanent address on the site, opens their earnings account, and creates the Strategy's Hub. The Strategy itself is now Pending. It is not on the Marketplace yet, and it cannot be: approval of the Provider and publication of the Strategy are deliberately two different events.
  5. The go-live gate. A Pending Strategy has to prove it works before it can publish. What it must prove depends on how it produces its Signals, and both routes are described below. Its Hub must also be valid: a Strategy whose Hub has expired cannot go live until the Provider recharges it.
  6. Live, and building a record. The Strategy is listed on the Marketplace. From that moment every Signal it sends is recorded permanently, and that record is what you read when you decide whether to follow it.

The go-live gate, by route

The same requirement stated two ways: a Strategy must demonstrate that it can produce a valid Signal before any subscriber receives one. What counts as a demonstration is different, because the two routes produce Signals differently.

An Algo Strategy

Must send a successful test Signal for every market it declared, not just one. An integration that works for one symbol and silently fails for another is caught here rather than by a subscriber.

Each declared market must also have its connection confirmed as working, so a Strategy that is configured but cannot actually reach Triggon does not reach the Marketplace.

A Manual Strategy

Must pass the pre-live test in its own Signal Terminal. The test runs the Strategy's declared configuration and checks it produces a valid Signal, without creating a trade, before subscribers ever see one.

It is not a lighter check, it is the applicable one. A Manual Strategy has no external script to test, so the sandbox run an Algo Strategy passes has nothing to act on. The Manual route →

Why a Strategy might not be on the Marketplace

These are the states that matter to you as a reader. A Strategy is visible only when it is Live, its Provider is active, and the Provider has not paused it.

PendingApproved, but has not yet passed the go-live gate. Not listed, and not yet building a record.
LivePublished and listed. Sending Signals, and recording them.
PausedTemporarily withdrawn from the Marketplace. Its record stays readable.
SuspendedWithdrawn by Triggon. A suspended Provider's live Strategies are pulled from the Marketplace at the same moment, so the listing can never outlive the decision.
Hub expiredThe Strategy's Hub has lapsed. It cannot go live again until the Provider recharges it.
FullLive, but at its subscriber cap. Readable, and closed to new members until a seat frees up.
When a suspension is lifted, exactly the Strategies that were pulled are restored, and nothing else. Quietness is treated differently from failure: a Strategy that has not signalled for a while is flagged for a human to look at, never automatically taken down. A swing Strategy that trades monthly is indistinguishable from an abandoned one by silence alone.
The blue checkmark

What the checkmark on a Strategy means

It means one thing, and it is a fact about Triggon's records rather than a judgement about the Strategy: Triggon has an unbroken record of this Strategy across the last 90 days, and it is live on the Marketplace right now.

The checkmark is not a rating, an endorsement, a forecast, or a promise that a Strategy is profitable or safe. A Strategy that has lost money every month still carries it, and should: the badge exists to tell you the losses in front of you are real, recorded by Triggon when they happened, and not something anyone can edit afterwards.

The three things it checks

  1. 90 days of tracked history. Triggon's own record of the Strategy has to reach back across the whole of the last 90 days. Trade history a Provider uploaded themselves does not count towards this, ever. Only Signals this platform received and timestamped on arrival do.
  2. No long silence inside those 90 days. The Strategy has to have been in the market through the window, with no stretch longer than 21 days in which Triggon was tracking nothing at all. A position held open across weeks counts for every one of those days, so a Strategy that trades rarely and holds long is measured fairly rather than treated as abandoned.
  3. Live right now. A Strategy that is paused by its Provider, suspended, or not yet published is not making a claim on the Marketplace, so it carries no checkmark while it is away.

It is a rolling window, not a birthday

This is the part worth understanding. The 90 days are always the last 90 days, re-checked every time the badge is shown. It is a rolling window and not a birthday: a Strategy does not earn the checkmark once and keep it, so one that stops trading loses it, and one that starts again earns it back once the new window is covered.

Starts trading in JanuaryNo checkmark yet. Triggon's record does not reach back 90 days.
Still trading in AprilThe last 90 days are covered. The checkmark appears.
Goes quiet in MayThe checkmark goes after three weeks of silence. Nothing else changes: the Strategy stays listed and its record stays readable.
Trades again in JuneIt starts covering the new window straight away, and the checkmark returns once the whole of it is covered again.
Paused by its ProviderNo checkmark while it is paused. It comes straight back on resume, because the record never went anywhere.
Loses money throughoutKeeps the checkmark. It describes the record, not the result.

Three separate things, which the checkmark is easy to confuse: verification is whether Triggon holds a complete recent record; historical performance is what that record says, and you read it yourself from the Strategy's page; future results are unknown to everyone, including Triggon and the Provider. The checkmark speaks only to the first.

What verification is, and what it is not

What it means

A person reviewed the application and approved it, with a written reason on record if they did not.

The Provider is a real, identified profile on the platform, not an anonymous entry.

The Strategy's declared configuration was checked for internal consistency before it could publish.

The Strategy demonstrated, technically, that it can produce a valid Signal.

Its record from that point on is complete: every trade written down when it opens.

What it does not mean

That the Strategy will make money. Nothing in the review is a forecast, and no approval step examines whether a Strategy is likely to be profitable.

That Triggon recommends it. Approval is not an endorsement, and the Marketplace is not a ranked list of things worth buying.

That its past results predict its future ones. They do not.

That it suits you. Your capital, your tolerance for a drawdown and your timeframe are not part of any check performed here.

So judge it yourself

Verification gets a Strategy onto the Marketplace. Everything that decides whether it is worth following is published beside it, for you to read.

Full trade historyEvery position, open and closed, with its entry, exit and result.
Performance over timeComputed from trades recorded when they opened.
Maximum DrawdownHow bad its worst stretch was.
Profit Factor and Win RateRead together, never alone.
Sharpe, Sortino and CalmarReturn measured against three different definitions of risk.
The Triggon ScoreOne ranking figure with published weights, built so a short lucky run cannot outrank a long consistent one.
Equity and capital historyWhat the account behind the Strategy actually did.
The ProviderWho runs it, how long they have published, and what else they run.
Its current statusLive, paused, or full, and how many seats remain.
Read a Strategy's record What the metrics mean

Transparency before trust.

Verification is the floor, not the verdict. The record is the verdict, and you read it.
