Ruleset Changelog
Strategy version tracking: treat ruleset modifications like code commits.
Changing a stop-loss distance or indicator period creates a new strategy version. ZenTrader tracks ruleset changelogs so performance is attributed to the exact version that generated it.

Ruleset versioning
Tag every trade with the exact ruleset version, parameter set, and indicator logic active at execution.

Changelog audit trail
Inspect parameter adjustments over time and compare version v1.0 against version v1.1 performance.

Prevent overfitting
Ensure frequent parameter tweaks do not mask underlying strategy breakdown.
Version control for trading strategies
Without version tracking, strategy optimization becomes random parameter tweaking with zero accountability.
