Leveraged products such as CFDs, futures and forex can lose value quickly and you may lose all the capital you invest.
Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
No investment advice
StrategyProof is a research and education tool. Nothing on this site is investment advice, a recommendation, or an offer to
buy or sell any financial instrument. We are not a broker, an investment firm or a financial advisor, and we do not know your
personal or financial situation. Decide your trades yourself or with a qualified, licensed advisor.
Backtests are not the future
- Past performance does not guarantee future results. A strategy that worked on historical data can stop
working at any time. - Results are simulations on historical prices. Real trading has spread changes, slippage, commissions, swaps, requotes,
gaps and partial fills that a backtest can only approximate. - Testing many parameter combinations always finds some that look good by chance. Walk-forward testing, variant maps and
robustness checks reduce this risk, but cannot remove it. - A “plateau”, a high percentile in the variant cloud or a certification label describe how a strategy behaved in the past
data tested. They are not a promise of profit. - Few trades or few windows make every statistic unreliable. Read the warnings shown with each result.
Data limitations
Market data may contain errors or gaps and may differ from the prices of your broker. Time zones, sessions and contract
specifications can change the results.
Your responsibility
If you use any strategy or setting found with StrategyProof on a real or prop-firm account, you do so entirely at your own
risk. Test it on a demo account first, size your positions prudently and never risk money you need.
