An audit in seconds, a card you can post

Every audit ends with a grade and a card sized for Instagram, X and Discord, like the one above. This is the founder's strategy being audited.

How the score works

  1. Six checks: real edge, holds over time, not luck from many versions, beats random entries, no hidden clustering, prop-firm pass chance on recent data.
  2. A pass is worth 1, a warning ½, a fail 0. STRIKE: 4 passes + 2 warnings = 5 of 6 = 83.
  3. Grades: A from 90, B from 75, C from 60, D from 45, F below.

The card links back to the full report, so every post shows people where to audit their own strategy.

Try it: what risk per trade should you use?

Drag the slider. These are STRIKE's real trades run through FTMO 2-Step 100k rules (10% then 5% target, 5% daily loss, 10% max loss, 4 trading days), 20,000 simulated evaluations per setting. In the app, it's your trades and your firm.

Market

Smart sizing: risk shrinks after losses and near the daily or max-loss limit, so the setting is the starting risk.

A real report

This is the founder's own strategy, audited by the same tests the app will run. Nothing here is a mock-up: 1,130 backtested trades, results after spread and slippage.

STRIKE · XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD · 5m
1,130 trades · Jun 2013 – Oct 2026 · +485.3R after costs · 1:3 target
Overall: real edge, smaller since 2020

Is the edge real?

Pass
+0.43R per trade · p < 0.001

Odds of a real edge vs none: about 3 trillion to 1. Still holds when trades in the same month are grouped together.

Does it hold over time?

Warning
+0.64R → +0.30R per trade

Still positive since Feb 2020 (about 650 to 1), but significantly smaller (p 0.003). Plan with the recent figure.

Is it luck from testing many versions?

Pass
PBO 0.06 · 291 versions tested

Picking the best version on one half of the data rarely failed on the other half (6% of splits).

Could random entries do this?

Pass
0 of 1,000 random runs

Random entries with the same stops, targets, times and costs never came close. The best random run made +115R; STRIKE made +485R.

Do losses come in clusters?

Pass
ICC 0.02 by month

Results in the same month barely move together, so the tests above are not inflated by streaky periods.

Will it pass FTMO 2-Step 100k at 1% risk?

Warning
97% · 5.7 mo → 86% · 5.9 mo

All 13 years vs the market since Feb 2020 only. The recent figure is the honest one (log-rank p 0.04).

Average result per trade, by year

R per trade after costs. 2026 is Jan–Oct only.

Chance of having passed, by month
All years (2013–2026)Since Feb 2020 only
STRIKE vs 1,000 random-entry strategies

Each grey bar counts random runs by total result: same trades' kill zones, stop sizes, 1:3 target, daily close and costs, but random entry candle and direction.

What to do

  • The edge is real, so the strategy is worth trading. Size it for the recent market: expect about 86% to pass, not 97%.
  • About 7 in 10 accounts pass within 12 months on recent data. Budget for a slower start.
  • Recheck live trades every month. Around 80 live trades are needed before live results can confirm or reject the backtest.

QuestionHow it's tested
Is the edge real, or noise?Significance test and Bayes factor on result per trade, with trades grouped by period
Is it fading?First half vs second half, trend per year, recent-years-only results
Did you just pick the luckiest version?Probability of backtest overfitting and Deflated Sharpe ratio (upload your other versions)
Could random trades do this?1,000 random-entry runs with your stops, targets and timing
How bad can losing streaks get?Streak tests, worst runs, drawdown range from resampled histories
Will it pass the prop firm?Thousands of simulated evaluations under the firm's real rules: daily loss, max loss, trailing drawdown, minimum days, consistency
Is live trading matching the backtest?Live results against the backtest's expected range, updated as you trade

Questions

Do you need my strategy's rules or code?

No. The audit only needs the list of trades: when each one opened, which direction, and its result. Your rules stay private.

What if my backtest fails the audit?

That's useful to know before paying for an evaluation. The report shows which check failed and what usually helps: lower risk, a longer test period, or fewer versions tried.

Can it tell me which strategy to trade?

No. It measures how much you can trust the results you already have. It doesn't give trade signals or financial advice.

How accurate are the prop-firm pass rates?

They're simulations from your own trades under each firm's published rules. They assume your live trading matches the backtest, which is why the app also tracks live results.
