Hello,
This is my first time submitting to a Quantiacs contest, so apologies in advance
if I'm missing something obvious. I'd really appreciate any guidance.
I submitted 3 strategies to the Q24 Crypto Top-10 Long contest yesterday
(May 5, 2026) and they've been sitting at 0% in the Checking tab for ~12 hours
with no movement on refresh.
Strategies (all CRYPTO_DAILY_LONG):
- #19684343 (apple) — submitted 2026-05-05 22:42:38
- #19684361 (banana) — submitted 2026-05-05 22:56:34
- #19684387 (citrus) — submitted 2026-05-05 23:19:14
Brief description of my approach (in case it matters):
- Standard multi-pass / stateful template:
qnt.backtester.backtest(
competition_type='crypto_daily_long',
load_data=load_data,
lookback_period=800,
start_date='2018-01-01',
strategy=strategy,
analyze=True,
)
Questions:
- Could the bundled-zip / precomputed-cache approach cause silent timeouts
in the evaluator that don't surface as "Calculation time exceeded" — i.e.
a stuck-at-0% rather than a Filtered status? - Is there anything I can do on my side (delete + resubmit, lighter package,
restructure to compute everything inside strategy.ipynb), or should I
just wait?
Thanks for your help — happy to share more details / logs if useful.
