Alpha Decay Monitor

Rolling edge decay: detect when a market regime stops rewarding your strategy.

Strategies do not fail suddenly — they decay as market volatility, liquidity, and participant behavior shift. ZenTrader tracks rolling performance metrics to surface alpha degradation early.

Alpha monitoring that protects capital
