This page is not a signals service telling you what to buy. It’s a lab that checks whether a trading idea actually made money on real history — using the one test that matters.

1

What’s a “strategy”?

A rule for when to buy and sell — e.g. “buy when the price trend turns up.” We test a few classic ones.

2

The honest test

We split history in two: teach the rule on the older part, then test it on newer data it has never seen. That’s the only fair test.

The verdict

EDGE FOUND = beat simply buying & holding. NO EDGE = didn’t. NO EDGE is normal and it just saved you money.

4

“Buy & hold”

The thing to beat: just buy it and wait. Most active strategies don’t beat it. If a rule can’t beat sitting still, it’s not worth the risk.

Reality check for new traders: regulators’ own studies find 70–97% of active day traders lose money. The people showing off wins are usually selling a course. This tool exists to keep you honest — a red “NO EDGE” is the tool working, not failing. Nothing here uses real money.
