Changelog

Every new subscription now includes a 14-day money-back guarantee — a full refund any time in your first 14 days, right up until you export your first strategy.

• The Export screen gives you a heads-up before your first export while your guarantee is active.
• While the guarantee is active, exporting needs an internet connection so your refund eligibility stays accurate. Once the guarantee is used or has ended, exports work fully offline as always.

Added

• Close before the session ends — a new exit option that flattens positions a set number of bars before the session close.
• Duplicate strategies — copy a strategy in one click, with quick actions right from the Strategies list.
• More structural signals to build on — strategies can now use swing lows, the opening-range low and midpoint, and downside breakouts, and evolve the full pullback, rejection-wick, and compression setups.
• More blocks export to NinjaTrader — the pullback, rejection-wick, compression, and VWAP-distance blocks (and their setup signals) now generate standalone NinjaScript.

Improved

• Exported strategies now match the backtest at the very start of the data.
• Clearer tooltips on blocks and their settings; removed a duplicate Choppiness Index block.

Fixed

• macOS autocorrect no longer garbles text typed into the block search.
• Duplicating a strategy now keeps your unsaved Builder changes.
• Strategies that use the new secondary signals no longer error when reopened or backtested.

A redesigned app built around your strategy library

• Strategy library: every strategy now has its own workspace that walks Data → Build → Run → Results → Export, with builds, runs, and results organized under the strategy they belong to. Existing links and saved work carry over, and sync now restores your library on a fresh install.
• Redesigned Build stage: readable block names and parameter tables, clearer tabs, and a live search-space-vs-budget readout that warns before an under-powered run.
• Strategy direction: build long-only, short-only, both-sides — or let the optimizer decide per candidate.
• Smarter optimizer: two new experimental options — adaptive block pruning (mid-run, the optimizer measures which blocks actually help and focuses sampling on them, visible on the Run screen) and subset seeding (each starting strategy draws a focused slice of your blocks). "At least K of N" and NOT rules now simplify redundant forms automatically, are scored fairly, and render fully in the strategy detail.
• In-app guides: the bundled documentation now covers the whole workflow, with contextual Learn links throughout the app.

Fixed

• Cloud backup reliability — backups of your builds, runs, and leaderboards could silently stall (large result sets never finished uploading, and some installs skipped their initial catch-up). Both causes are fixed; pending backups catch up automatically.
• Offline documentation — Help → Offline Documentation now contains the full product documentation (the same guides as verdictstrategybuilder.com/docs), instead of internal notes.

New

• Online documentation — a full documentation site is live at verdictstrategybuilder.com/docs: getting started, how the evolution engine and validation work, licensing and seats, NinjaTrader 8 install guides, troubleshooting, an FAQ, and a glossary. Help → Documentation in the app now opens it in your browser.
• Offline documentation — the bundled guides stay available from Help → Offline Documentation for when you are offline.

Improved

• Validation notes on the strategy screen now link directly to the relevant documentation chapters.
