How to Export Your
SQX CSV
What to include in your SQX Databank export so Synthetic Intelligence can score your strategies properly.
Required Columns
| Column | Status | Why |
|---|
| Strategy Name | Required | Identifies each row. Must be unique per strategy. |
| Profit factor | Required | Primary scoring input. Upload fails without it. |
Strongly Recommended Columns
| Column | Status | Why |
|---|
| Ret/DD Ratio | Recommended | Return-to-drawdown scoring input (+15 at best) |
| Sharpe Ratio | Recommended | Risk-adjusted return scoring input (+15 at best) |
| Drawdown (%) | Recommended | Enables drawdown risk penalty in scoring |
| Win % / Winning Percent | Recommended | Enables win rate bonus; shows in results table |
| # of trades | Recommended | Strategies with <50 trades are automatically graded F |
| Net profit | Optional | Displayed in results table and CSV exports |
| SQN Score | Optional | Displayed in results table and CSV exports |
Score Cap by Available Columns
100
DD% + Win% both present — full scoring range
95
DD% present, Win% missing
90
Win% present, DD% missing
85
Both missing — strong strategies all score 85
What the Warnings Mean
⚠ Drawdown % column not found — DD penalty excluded and score capped.
Your export has no percentage drawdown column. SQX sometimes exports Drawdown as an absolute account value (e.g. 1,458.72) — the system displays this but cannot apply the risk penalty without a % column. Re-export with Drawdown (%) to lift the cap.
⚠ Win% column not found — winrate contribution excluded.
No win rate column was found. The Win% column in the results table shows — (not 0.00%) — this means the column was absent, not that win rate is zero. Re-export with Winning Percent or Win % to include it.
Both warnings are informational — not errors. The upload succeeded. The score cap reflects the limits of the available data.
If All Strategies Score the Same
If every strategy shows the same score (e.g. all 85), the CSV is likely missing both Drawdown % and Win % columns. Strong strategies all reach the cap and are cut to the same value.
This is not a bug — it means the file has limited data. Check the amber warnings at the top of the results, then re-export with the recommended columns.

FAQ
Why did I get a score cap warning?
Your CSV is missing the Drawdown % column, the Win % column, or both. The system caps the score when secondary inputs are absent so that a high score always reflects complete data. Re-export with the recommended columns to lift the cap.
Why does Win % show "—" in the results table?
The dash means the Win % column was not found in your file — not that win rate is zero. Export with Win % or Winning Percent to populate this column.
Why does Drawdown display without a % symbol?
SQX exports Drawdown as absolute account currency by default (e.g. 1,458.72). The system displays it as-is and skips the drawdown penalty. Include Drawdown (%) in your export to enable risk scoring.
Can I upload a trade log or individual backtest report?
No. Synthetic Intelligence expects a Databank summary export with one row per strategy. Use the Strategy List / Databank export view in SQX, not individual backtest files.
What should I download after the analysis?
Use the export buttons below the results table: PROCEED (grade A/B, above threshold), WATCHLIST (marginal), A/B Only, or Full Scored CSV. All exports are generated from data already in your browser — no additional upload is needed.
