How we maintain accuracy
Who reviews these verdicts, and how the catalogue stays honest.
Reviewed by Ryan Tran, Strategy Lead, Glitch Executor. The same firm-rule engine that powers Glitch Executor backtest verdicts produces the verdicts on every bot detail page here.
- No paid placements, we do not accept money for inclusion or ranking.
- Bots without a publicly-traceable track record stay out of the catalogue rather than getting a guessed verdict.
- Verdicts are re-replayed every quarter against the current firm rule set so a rule change can flip a verdict, and the change is dated on the bot page.
- Glitch Executor is tooling, not a managed-account or signal vendor. The catalogue exists to inform your own pre-flight, not to recommend trading any specific bot.

FAQ
About this catalogue.
How do you decide which bots make it into this catalogue?
Inclusion requires a publicly-traceable track record we can replay against the firm rule sets. We do not accept payment for inclusion and we do not score bots whose performance data is private or unverifiable. When data isn't traceable, the bot stays out, we'd rather under-list than guess.
How current are the verdicts?
Each strategy carries its own Last verified date on the detail page. We re-replay every catalogued bot against the current firm rules during the quarterly firm-rule audit (see the firm-rule changelog). Verdicts can flip between audits when a firm changes its rules.
What does PASS / FAIL_HARD / FAIL_SOFT / UNTESTED mean?
PASS, the strategy clears the firm's rules on the replayed track record. FAIL_HARD, a rule breach (drawdown floor, daily-loss, consistency cap) closes the account. FAIL_SOFT, the strategy survives but misses the profit target or profitable-day quota. UNTESTED, the firm is pending relaunch, or the asset class doesn't match the firm's market, so the matchup isn't meaningful.
