The most effective 4-step workflow for building evidence-backed systems on Evident:

Start from the Academy Cookbook: Pick one of the 6 verified quantitative blueprints (Kalman/SuperSmoother, VWAP Z-Score, VPIN+CVD, Hurst+FDI, Bollinger/Keltner Squeeze, or Connors IBS).
Verify Signal IC in Indicator Lab: Open the blueprint in Lab on your target symbol and timeframe to inspect Spearman IC and Q1–Q5 quintile monotonicity.
Stress-Test in Strategy Studio:
Set realistic taker fees (0.05%–0.06%) and slippage (5 bps).
Run the 70/30 Out-of-Sample (OOS) split and 4-Fold Walk-Forward matrix.
Check the 95th-percentile drawdown via 2,000-run Monte Carlo.
Click Discuss in Forum in the toolbar to share your experiment table.
Deploy to Paper Bot or AI Agent: Forward-test strategies with a Readiness Score above 70 on live candles in paper mode before risking capital.

Pro Tip: Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) for Zero Credit Usage

If you attach your own OpenAI-compatible API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, etc.) in Account Settings (/account), all Studio, Indicator Lab, Chart Reading, and AI Agent runs execute without consuming any monthly plan credits.

Reproducible backtest experiments, out-of-sample audits, and indicator IC studies on live market bars.
