Numbers don'tlie.
An analysis is only as good as its data. That's why follows three strict rules.
Precise. Honest. Tested.
To the second
Your entry and exit prices come from tick data, at the exact second you traded.
Zero hindsight
Every market value only uses data that existed before you clicked. Nothing from afterwards ever sneaks in.
Beats chance
A pattern only shows up if it beats the best that chance finds in 500 full runs on your trades.
10,000+ values on every trade.
Automatically at the moment you enter, without you having to do anything.
So chance doesn't stand a chance.
Chance as the benchmark
The entire search runs 500 times with shuffled results. A finding only counts if it's stronger than the best those runs produce.
Control values
Pure random numbers are mixed into the data points. If one of them shows up as a pattern, you can see right away that something is off.
Old and new agree
A finding has to hold in both your older and your newer trades. Whatever only fit once by chance gets thrown out.
Let the numbers speak.
Log your trades. measures the rest.
