The complete record, including the bad weeks.

Every figure on this page comes from real out-of-sample studies. Nothing is selected, smoothed or rounded up, and the assumptions behind them are stated below so you can discount them yourself.

Why it is a straight line, not a rocket

No compounding, over 6.6 years. Points measure the raw price movement captured, independent of account size, trade size or leverage. Compounding is what makes a curve go vertical - and it tells you nothing about whether the edge is real.

Why it is a straight line, not a rocket

No compounding, over 6.5 years. Points measure the raw price movement captured, independent of account size, trade size or leverage. Compounding is what makes a curve go vertical - and it tells you nothing about whether the edge is real.

Exactly how each study is tested

Settings are selected using only price history up to a cut-off date, then scored on the following period, which the selection had never seen. The window then moves forward and the process repeats.
