NO CURVE FITS · NO CHERRY-PICKED WINDOWS

01

Walk-forward only

Strategies train on one window, evaluate on the next. No look-ahead. The model has never seen the data it’s tested on.

02

Cost-aware labelling

Win rates are computed after realistic transaction costs per asset class. Signals that only work at zero fees are marked as myths.

03

Statistical threshold

A “verified edge” requires profit factor > 1.3 across more than 1,000 trades. Small samples aren’t evidence, they’re anecdotes.

04

Published, not pitched

Every result — winners and losers alike — is published. Strategies we hoped would work but didn’t are still listed here for honesty.

What actually works in trading.
