Field notes
The stated comparison keeps data, costs, and the in-sample/out-of-sample split consistent, while a coin-flip entry control uses the same exits and sizing. The featured RSI(2) example is labeled “Fragile,” with four variants tried and none passing; a Supertrend result is labeled “No proven edge.” The site also says cause-of-death filtering will come once its collection grows beyond a handful.
