Run a historical backtest using the `neural-trader` Rust/NAPI engine, then Ed25519-sign the result so the paper→live promotion gate has cryptographic tamper evidence (ADR-126 Phase 4 + CWE-347 pattern). Steps: 1. Ensure neural-trader is available: `npm ls neural-trader 2>/dev/null || npm install --ignore-scripts neural-trader` 2. Check for saved strategy config: `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_retrieve({ key: "strategy-STRATEGY_NAME", namespace: "trading-strategies" })` If not found, list available: `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search({ query: "strategy", namespace: "trading-strategies", limit: 10 })` 3. Run backtest via neural-trader CLI: ```bash npx neural-trader --backtest --strategy <name> --symbol <TICKER> --period <range> --walk-forward ``` For multi-indicator strategies: ```bash npx neural-trader --backtest --strategy multi-indicator --position-sizing kelly --symbol SPY --period 2020-2024 ``` 4. Capture performance metrics from output: total return, annualized return, Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, max drawdown, win rate, profit factor, number of trades. 5. Dedup prior backtests for the same `(strategyId, paramsHash)` before storing the fresh one (ADR-125 lifecy

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill trader-backtest --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ruvnet/ruflo, a repository with 67,015 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
