Trading Strategy Validation #
Before you trade a strategy, find out whether its edge survives data it has not seen and the costs you will actually pay. I test your strategy in Python and give you a written report of the result, whether it is positive or negative.
This service applies the method from my own published work: the pre-registered opening-range breakout study and the machine-verified claims ledger, both on SSRN.
What I test #
- Out-of-sample performance: the strategy is fixed on one period and judged on a later one it never saw.
- Costs: results with realistic commissions and slippage, plus a stressed-cost view.
- Controls: a random-entry control and a noise check, so a result is compared with chance and not only with zero.
- Robustness: walk-forward windows and parameter sensitivity, so one lucky setting does not carry the verdict.
- Statistics: bootstrap or permutation tests, with the sample size stated next to every number.

What this service is not #
- No trading signals, no fund management, and no profit guarantees.
- No MetaTrader (MQL) or Pine Script development; the work is in Python.
- I report what the data shows. A strategy that loses its edge after costs is a valid and useful result.
What I need from you #
- The strategy rules in writing, or the code that implements them.
- Price data, or the instrument, timeframe and period so we can agree on a data source.
- Your commission and typical slippage per trade.
