Forward test
The only evidence that cannot be fitted to the past.
What this is and why it matters
Everything else on this site can be flattered by hindsight: strategies were chosen after seeing past prices. The forward test cannot. Five strategies were frozen on the start date and now trade paper money every weekday on prices nobody had yet, so no model, ours or anyone's, could have been fitted to them.
Equity
Not yet: no forward equity data has been recorded. The configured start date is 2026-10-16.
The locked rules
The rules were locked by the board before the test started: the strategies never change, each starts with $10,000 of paper money, pays the same trading costs as our backtests, decides after each close and fills at the next open, and a strategy stops if it loses 35%. Read the full rules.
