alpha-visualizer¶
alpha-visualizer is a standalone OSS package that visualizes AlphaForge (forge) backtest results in your web browser. It reads backtest_results.db (SQLite) and strategy JSON files directly, so it works on hosts without forge installed.
What you can do¶
- Browse, search, and multi-select your strategy library
- Inspect equity / drawdown / trade history with benchmark metrics (alpha, beta, IR, correlation)
- Compare strategies side-by-side, including a Pearson correlation heatmap
- Visualize Walk-Forward composite equity and Grid optimization results
- Reconcile live trading against backtest with period-aligned diff
- Track exploration ideas with status and tag filters
- Toggle dark/light theme and Japanese/English UI
- Export CSV / PNG, share state via URL
