Spent the last few months watching how bot sellers actually operate on this platform, and the pattern is consistent: the traders who do well aren't the ones with the best backtest — they're the ones who show their work.

Buyers don't trust a screenshot of a green equity curve anymore. Too many of those get faked. What actually moves people to pay: live forward-test logs, a clear explanation of the edge (mean reversion vs momentum vs arb, whatever it is), and drawdown numbers stated up front instead of buried.

We built Selfproof around that — a marketplace where forex and stock bot developers list strategies with real verification, not just vibes. Sellers set their own price, keep control of their IP, and get paid out through Whop directly (no more collecting Venmo requests in a Discord and hoping nobody charges back).

If you're building a bot and have real numbers behind it, worth a look. If you're buying one, worth being suspicious of anyone who won't show you the drawdown.
