One winner.
We don't sell a magic bot — we sell the discipline of testing everything and keeping almost nothing. Here is every strategy configuration we evaluated between 2026-06-21 and 2026-10-11, and the single one that survived out-of-sample. Nothing here is live-trading performance.
The funnel
Each row is a harder test than the one above it. Real counts from our strategy lab — the survivors shrink at every step.

How to read this. Every figure binds to our live strategy-lab aggregates (2026-06-21 → 2026-10-11). Backtests use real candles, next-open fills, fees + slippage, and an in-sample / out-of-sample split. "Passed the gate" is a basic filter; only the walk-forward-robust winner is one we stand behind — and even that is research, not investment advice. No strategy is cleared for live trading.
