Real orders in a real account. Figures come from the broker’s fills and charges.
The same engine on live quotes, buying at the ask and selling at the bid, with costs. No money at risk.
Stopped. The record stays on the page exactly as it ended.
Five gates before a strategy goes public.
Most ideas do not make it. Of the 8 BTC strategies we researched, 3 are running, 4 were rejected and 1 has not been tested yet.
Rules written first
Every entry, exit and position size is written down before a test runs. Nothing is tuned afterwards to flatter a result.
History, with real costs
The rules run on exchange data with brokerage, taxes and exchange fees charged on every fill.
Stress
Slippage is doubled and stops fill at pessimistic prices. A strategy that needs perfect fills ends here.
Forward test
The engine trades live quotes, buying at the ask and selling at the bid. Only the money is simulated.
Real orders, small first
A pilot at reduced size compares real fills with the forward test. Size goes up only when the two agree.
The only difference between a forward test and a live account is which broker receives the orders.
The data feed, the strategy code, the ledger and the risk limits are shared. That is why a forward test here is a fair preview of live trading, and why both are published side by side.
Limits the engine enforces on itself.
Each limit is fixed in an account’s configuration before its first trade, and applies to forward tests and live accounts alike.
- 15 to 20%
Below its peak, an account stops opening new positions. The exact figure is set per account.
- 5%
Lost in a single day ends that account’s trading for the day.
- 6in a row
Stop-losses that halt the BTC straddle until a person has reviewed it.
- 2times
The slippage every strategy has to survive in testing, double what the model measured.
- 1switch
Flattens every open position and blocks new entries until it is cleared.
What these numbers are, and are not.
A forward test is simulated
Fills are modelled on live quotes with full costs and slippage. No money is at risk, so results can differ from real trading, mostly in how large orders fill.
A live account is real
Orders go to the exchange from a funded account. Returns, fees and slippage are the broker’s own figures.
Neither is a promise
Past results do not predict future returns. Every account here has had losing weeks, and some have been closed at a loss.
