Backtest Lab

The Backtest Lab runs one daily rule on historical data you are permitted to use and keeps a receipt: the rule, the costs, the comparisons and every trade.

Each run is labelled Exploration. A single backtest is one sample of the past; it does not show that a rule would have worked, and it says nothing certain about what happens next. Tickfloor has tested hundreds of strategies in public and none passed the corrected test.

Nothing here is personal advice or a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
