• Intermediate · Prove it

  Check whether a result could be luck

  Prove it runs a finished result through harder tests, to see whether luck alone could explain it. You find it on a finished result and on My Strategies, and it shows its price before it starts.

  The tests it runs:

  1. 1 Random-entry baseline: buying and selling on random days, as long in the market.
  2. 2 Placebo (shuffled prices): the rule on prices shuffled into a random order.
  3. 3 Signal delay / look-ahead check: every trade a day late.
  4. 4 Triple trading costs: three times the trading costs.
  5. 5 Parameter neighbourhood: slightly different settings.
  6. 6 Walk-forward, fold by fold: settings fitted on earlier years, then run on the years after them.
  7. 7 Regime and sub-period stability: each part of the test on its own.
