Strategy Research R&D Journal

Transform scattered strategy notes, backtest scraps, and ideas into an organized research lab with this template — a powerful Notion-based journal built for quant developers, and strategy researchers.

Designed to document, refine, and version every step of your strategy lifecycle, StratLog gives you the clarity and structure needed to go from raw hypothesis to validated model — with audit trails, thought logs, and testing insights all in one place.

🛠️ How It Works

• Start with a Strategy Card: Use the built-in template to record hypothesis, structure, indicators, logic assumptions, and timeframe

• Log R&D Progress: Track changes over days/weeks — indicators tested, issues found, model iterations

• Connect Test Results: Link back to external backtest platforms or attach CSV, PineScript links, or screenshots

• Reflect & Refine: Use weekly retrospectives to log insights, lessons, and whether the idea is viable
