Strategy Leaderboard
Compare curated strategy families and their ranked variants. Inspect the rules, then copy a strategy to your Library.

What the leaderboard shows
The leaderboard lists ArthaPilot's native strategy catalog. A family is one approach, for example Leverage for the Long Run. Its variants apply the approach to different tickers or parameters.
- Rows: each row is a family. Its figures describe its first variant in the current sort. The row names that variant and the count of variants. Select the count to list every variant.
- Detail: select a row to see the description, a growth chart, the rules, the current signal, and the source. The detail also holds the actions for that variant and a link to its strategy page.
- Columns: CAGR, maximum drawdown, and Sharpe show first. Turn on All metrics to add the 1Y and 3Y returns.
- Filters and search: Filters narrows the board by type, rebalance frequency, and asset class. Show every variant puts each variant on its own row. The URL keeps the search, the filters, and the sort, so you can share a view.
- Compare: select up to four rows to compare their growth and their metrics side by side.
- Strategy pages: each family has a page with its ranked variants, methodology, source, and full backtest window.
Ranking windows and metrics
The leaderboard ranks every row over the same shared window, which the page header shows. Metrics are therefore comparable across strategies with different start dates. A strategy page also shows the full backtest window of the family, so a long history and the ranked metrics stay separate.
| Rank metric | What ranks first |
|---|---|
| Sharpe (default) | Highest risk-adjusted return over the shared window. |
| CAGR | Highest compound annual growth rate. |
| 1Y / 3Y / 5Y return | Highest trailing return. |
| Best max drawdown | Shallowest worst decline. Drawdowns are negative, so the value closest to zero ranks first. |
Copy to Library
- Sign in. Open a leaderboard row, then select Clone to Library. The action shows for a strategy that has a Library template.
- The copy becomes a Library strategy you own, managed from the Library. The original catalog entry does not change.
- Edit the copy in Strategy Builder (change tickers, signals, weights, rebalancing) and reuse it in backtests, tactical workflows, and live monitoring.
How strategies work
Every catalog strategy uses the same model you get in Strategy Builder: one or more conditions (named allocation rules) checked top to bottom. The first condition whose signal is true becomes active, and the last condition is the signal-free fallback. The detailed references live on their own pages:
- Signals guide: signal types, parameters, the 1-bar evaluation lag, and composite AND / OR / NOT rules.
- Strategy Builder and tactical allocation guide: building and backtesting strategies, ranked allocation, fixed sleeves, and costs.
- Rebalancing guide: time-based and threshold-based rebalance policies.
- Portfolio Backtest guide: using a saved strategy as an allocation inside a multi-sleeve portfolio.
- Ticker Modifiers guide: leverage, expense ratios, extended-history (.SIM) tickers, and expression syntax.
Example: leverage for the long run (LFLR)
LFLR stands for Leverage for the Long Run, the Gayed and Bilello trend-following approach behind several catalog entries. It is a two-condition signal strategy that holds a 3x LETF in the risk-on state:
- Risk-on condition: signal = SPY above its 200-day moving average. Position: 100% UPRO (3x S&P 500).
- Risk-off condition: fallback (no signal). Position: 100% SHY (short-term Treasuries).
- Rebalance: monthly.
