QuantConnect backtests. Mutator ships.
Mutator is AutoML for live trading alpha. It generates strategies, walk-forwards them, deflates the Sharpe (López de Prado), runs paper-mode in shadow, and only promotes to live behind a multi-gate safety check. Not a backtester. A promotion engine.

Mutator evolves strategies through 7 generations: V0 (random search) → V1 (Bayesian) → V2 (genetic) → V3 (regime-aware) → V4 (cross-asset) → V5 (multi-horizon) → V6 (LLM-augmented). Top 1% survive each stage.
Deflated-Sharpe gate
Every candidate runs the López de Prado deflated-Sharpe gauntlet. PSR > 0.95 required. Walk-forward IS/OOS ratio >= 0.5. Backtest-overfit-probability < 0.05.
Paper-first auto-deploy
Survivors auto-deploy to paper mode in shadow for N days. Closed-loop monitoring compares paper PnL to backtest expectation. Drift > 2σ → quarantine, not promotion.
Surgical promotion to live
Brain-lock prevents concurrent edits. Per-symbol gradual ramp from 1% → 10% → 100% capital. Auto-revert on regime change. Kill-switch on Kelly fraction breach. Real money out is opt-in.
Early-access waitlist
Mutator public launch July 2026. Early-access = founding-customer pricing locked (20% off forever) + priority strategy review by our quant team.
Built by: the Elite AI Empire trading-fleet team. Mutator is the productized version of the engine that runs our internal V0-V6 strategy generator across 6 venues (Alpaca, IBKR, Kalshi, Polymarket, Limitless, Thales). Disclosure: Mutator generates and validates strategies. Mutator is not investment advice. You operate the live-deploy gate. Past backtest performance does not guarantee future results.
