How we test a strategy
We take strategies people trust, run them on years of real data with costs paid, and keep testing until they hold up or break. Then we show you how to do it yourself.
Written down before a single result is seen.
Commission and slippage on every trade.
Years it has never seen, opened once.
Against 200 random copies of itself.
The lowest point decides, not the end.
Illustration. Each grey line is the same strategy with its trades moved to random days. If the white line can't stand clear of the grey ones, the profit was luck. This is the check most backtests never run.
The usual way of putting a slow chart's signal on a fast chart hands the backtest the future. The leak is big enough to make random data look profitable.
Read the paper →Run these before you trust any backtest, yours or someone else's.

Questions
No. The Lab needs no code at all. The Journey starts from zero: you learn the little Python you need, it runs right on the page, and your own AI can help at every step.
No. We teach you how to test strategies. What you trade, and whether you trade at all, is your decision.
No one can honestly promise that. What it will do is stop you putting money behind strategies that only look good by luck.
No. Everything here is education and research. Backtest results are hypothetical and don't predict future results.
You'll also get a strategy autopsy about twice a week, and hear first when the Journey and the Lab launch.
