What makes the number honest

Built to correct for you, not flatter you

Every check here exists because it's the one people skip when the backtest is finally winning.

Deflated Sharpe

Corrects your Sharpe ratio for every variant you tested, not just the one that happened to win.

Null simulation

Monte Carlo resampling builds the real distribution of luck for your setup - not a rule of thumb.

Append-only ledger

Every recorded trial stays on the record - no deleting the losers after the fact.

Honest costs

Commission and slippage are charged on every simulated fill, every time.

No-code specs

Describe entries, exits, and sizing with a picker - no notebook, no glue code.

Real data

Daily bars for crypto and equities - not synthetic or look-ahead-biased series.
