Backtest

Simulate signal logic without confusing it for proof.

Real model calibration from live resolved markets, then a deterministic simulated strategy cohort to demonstrate how the signal gates behave. Simulation is machinery evidence, not a performance promise.

Backtest context

This page intentionally separates live calibration from simulated strategy machinery. It is useful for testing gates and consistency, but the public proof still lives in the timestamped track record.

Engine calibration - live markets

Building: 10 of 30 required resolved predictions. Reliability diagram appears at 30. Track record

Signal calibration - simulationSIMULATED DATA

Deterministic synthetic cohort (seed 42, n=160) demonstrating the calibration machinery. Not a performance forecast.

0.182Brier score on 160 simulated resolutions

Strategy simulation - trade the engine's signalsSIMULATED DATA

Equal $1,000 stake on every simulated market where EV after fees and slippage cleared the 5% hurdle - the same gate the live signal classifier uses.
