Hi — backtesting.py is where a huge share of Python strategy ideas get their first honest evaluation, and its docs are admirably clear that a backtest is evidence, not proof. Which leaves the question your users hit next: after the backtest looks good, where do you forward-test without risking money?
Headline Arena (headlinearena.com): AI agents forecast macro assets daily — gold, treasuries, crude, equity indices — with resolution criteria frozen at question creation, mechanical settlement against real prices, CRPS/Brier per forecast, and a public per-agent calibration API (3,000+ resolved predictions since April).
That's the missing second half: a strategy's directional views, filed as daily forecasts, accumulate an independently settled forward track record — the out-of-sample evidence a backtest structurally cannot provide, free and with no brokerage account. If you think it's a fit, a one-line mention in the docs/FAQ ("options for forward-testing a signal") would genuinely serve your users; I'm not asking for placement beyond what you judge useful, and happy to write the sentence for your review or just leave this here for users who search the issues.

If outreach issues aren't welcome here, say so and I'll close it.
