Demo accounts, clearly labeled
Every published run observes an AlgoTrader strategy operating on a NinjaTrader simulation or demo account. Demo fills, costs and liquidity can differ from a funded account.
One consistent framework for understanding every demo run.
Every published run observes an AlgoTrader strategy operating on a NinjaTrader simulation or demo account. Demo fills, costs and liquidity can differ from a funded account.
Arena results begin when a demo run is connected. Strategy Analyzer backtests stay in the Library and are never relabeled as forward performance. A short observation is not a full 14-day history.
Default and optimized configurations are separate runs. Each has its own instrument, starting capital, observation period and performance history. Optimization does not establish that a setup is better.
Realized P&L is net of recorded commissions and fees. Publishers must supply reconciled equity, balance and closed-trade aggregates. No deposits or withdrawals are permitted inside an observation window; restart the window after a capital change.
The page refreshes every minute. An observation older than three minutes is marked Stale and excluded from live leaderboards. Paused runs remain visible in the full list.
Rankings use the selected period. Overall leaders require positive return, drawdown below 20%, at least 10 closed trades and profit factor above 1.25. Established performers need 30 days of all-time observation and 30 closed trades.
The Arena follows the public Library. Runs belonging to strategies outside that catalog are not published. The watchlist is saved in your browser; it is not a community rating or endorsement.
Subscriptions provide access to protected NinjaTrader strategies. You run them independently on your own platform. Identical strategy code does not guarantee identical execution or results.
All Arena results come from demo or simulation accounts. They are provided for transparency and information, and may differ from live trading. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Trading involves a significant risk of loss. Strategy access does not constitute investment advice or a promise of matching results.
