Backtest Pollerv1.0.0

A quantitative analyst or trader submits a QuantConnect backtest and lets the poller monitor progress, auto-download results, and run diagnostics. This eliminates the need to babysit long-running backtests and provides automated failure detection.

Before leaving the office, a developer submits multiple backtest configurations. The poller runs overnight, adaptively polling, and delivers results in the morning with equity curves and drawdown analysis.

A portfolio manager defines maximum drawdown thresholds for new strategies. The poller automatically stops backtests that exceed the threshold, preventing wasted compute and alerting the team.

On a cloud VM without persistent SSH, the poller runs as a background daemon that survives disconnection. Researchers can submit backtests via CLI and later review results, even after logging out.

In a university lab, students submit strategies for backtesting. The poller monitors each student's backtest, automatically diagnoses issues (e.g., high option zero rate), and notifies instructors on completion.

Offer automated backtesting and monitoring as a subscription for retail or institutional traders. Revenue from monthly fees per user or per backtest volume.

Use the poller to validate and certify third-party trading strategies before listing them on a marketplace. Charged as a one-time validation fee per strategy.

Sell to hedge funds or asset managers who need to enforce drawdown limits on backtests before live deployment. License per seat or per project.
