§ How we grade edges
Three badges. No ambiguity.
● VERIFIED EDGE
Profit factor > 1.3, n > 1,000

Statistically significant out-of-sample performance. The setup returns money consistently across regimes and asset classes with enough trades to rule out luck.

● INCONCLUSIVE
Small sample or mixed evidence

Results are directionally positive but the sample is too small, or performance is highly regime-dependent. Flagged for re-test after the next sweep.

● MYTH BUSTED
Profit factor < 0.9, n > 1,000

The setup underperforms a random coin flip when tested honestly on out-of-sample data. Retail-popular setups here are marked as a warning.

§2 Strategy performance
Every strategy, ranked.

No curve fits. Win rates measured on strict walk-forward out-of-sample returns. Filter by type, badge, or name — sort by any metric.

§3 Indicator deep-dives
How each indicator really performs.

The ring shows average win rate across every variant of that indicator. Green beats 50%, red doesn’t, brown is marginal.
