Field notes
The homepage presents five named strategies with backtest return, CAGR, maximum drawdown, Sharpe ratio, trade count, win rate, and buy-and-hold comparisons. Its stated method uses daily market data from 2019-01-02, next-day-open fills, and slippage; strategies originally described with intraday candles also receive separately labeled intraday reruns where free data permits. A forward paper run began 2026-10-16; the displayed entries show zero trades through the listed day-one/day-three checkpoints. All results are labeled simulated, not real-money performance.
