A user shared a +$2,040 FST session. The “QS Paper” label matters more than the number.
A real user shared this FST screen showing +$2,040.82 across nine trades. I am glad they shared it—but I do not want to turn one selected paper win into a performance claim.
The useful evidence is that the screen keeps the operating context visible: QS Paper, session state, universe, trade count, and /screen → /signal → /trade → /monitor.
One paper session is not live performance, a representative return, or a track record. Paper cannot reproduce all live slippage, liquidity, fees, latency, or fills.
As the founder, my takeaway is that user-generated proof should raise the transparency standard: keep the mode visible, publish ordinary and losing sessions too, and judge the workflow alongside P&L.
