Why most backtests fail · what traders discovered

Real quotes from trading communities. Our data confirms the pattern.

“When I back-test them they seem to work perfectly, but when I forward test them on a demo my results are the complete opposite.”

r/Forex·91 pts

“Without slippage and fees, I have 30+ winning strategies. With slippage and fees, 2.”

r/algotrading·822 pts

“I've tried every strategy and backtested thousands of times, but once I go live my account dwindles.”
