Your strategy worked on paper. Does it work for real?
Like a flight simulator for traders: we run your strategy against thousands of scenarios from the past to know if it won by method or by luck. If it passes, you trade it with peace of mind. If it fails, better to find out here than with your funded account.
Five tests. One question: is your edge real?
Each test attacks the same fear from a different angle: did you win by method or by luck? If your strategy passes all five, it wasn't chance. If it falls on one, better to know it here than with real money.
Base test
The classic backtest, done right: the metrics calculated like the professional literature, not the inflated MT5 number or the influencers' one.
Out-of-sample test (Walk-Forward)
We train it on one stretch of the past and test it on another it never saw. That's how you know if your strategy truly works or just memorized what already happened.
Method or luck? (DSR)
Penalizes the result for the number of combinations you tried. It's what separates a real edge from someone who tuned the data until it agreed with them.
1,000 scenarios (Multiverse)
Reorders your trades 1,000 times and shows you the range of possible outcomes. Your single curve stops being destiny — it's one of many paths.
Automatic optimizer
Searches for the best parameters through evolution, without you having to test combinations blindly for whole days.
Funding challenge simulator
With the real rules of Topstep, FTMO, MFF and FundedNext. You know if you'd pass the evaluation before paying the entry fee.
Twenty indicators. Zero decoration.
Three traders. One same engine.
From gut feel to system
Your intuition has years of screen time. Here you turn it into rules you can test — and prove, or disprove, your edge with numbers, not opinions.
Prop firm hunter
Topstep, FTMO, MFF, FundedNext. The simulator tells you if you'd pass the evaluation before paying the entry fee. Before burning the month.
The one going systematic
The same professional metrics that come out of the books — without building anything in Python or spending three months on infrastructure.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. TradingNote subtracts spread, commission, swap and slippage on every trade, so the result is realistic. A strategy that's only profitable with zero costs isn't a strategy, it's a mirage — and the real-cost backtest is precisely the filter that reveals it.
Because TradingNote computes Sharpe with professional methodology (daily returns × √252, López de Prado style), comparable to academic literature, not to another platform. A Sharpe of 1.5 here is a «real» 1.5 Sharpe.
No. It's easy to find by chance a configuration that looks perfect in the past and fails live (overfitting). That's why you must combine the backtest with robustness filters —DSR, Walk-Forward and Multiverse— before risking money.
A light backtest is a single run over a reasonable range: instant and unlimited. A heavy one (multi-year ranges or many combinations at once) consumes a monthly allowance based on your plan, because it runs on dedicated infrastructure.
Check first. Then the mindset.
The numbers from a test can fool you. These are the tools that separate signal from noise — and save you years working on something that was never going to work.
