# Neutral Curated

Neutral Curated is the main Neutral Trade lineup: strategies that passed full due diligence and live testing with Neutral capital.

Neutral Curated is the main lineup on Neutral Trade. Every strategy in it passed our full due diligence and a period of live testing with Neutral capital before it opened for deposits. It is the default view on the [strategies page](https://www.neutral.trade/strategies).

## How a Strategy Becomes Curated

A trading firm goes through the full process in [Curator Selection](/curators/curator-selection.md) and [Curator Onboarding](/curators/curator-onboarding.md). In short:

* **Full KYB** on the firm.
* **Full due diligence** on the strategy, the risk management, and the track record.
* **Live testing with Neutral capital** before the strategy opens for deposits.
* **Neutral Trade vault infrastructure.** The firm receives trading authority only. It cannot withdraw your deposit. See [Vault Protections](/neutral-strategy-vaults/vault-protections.md).

Only Neutral Curated strategies are eligible for an allocation from Neutral Autopilot.

Due diligence reduces risk. It does not remove it. A curated strategy can still lose money. Read the [Risk Overview](/for-capital-allocators/risk-overview.md) before you deposit.
