How the research is verified
- Each article defines the entry, exit, spread, fill timing, test period and parameter grid before presenting a result.
- Numbers quoted in the article are copied into a verification suite and checked against the generated backtest output.
- Losing settings, small samples and limits are kept in the article. A result from one pair or period is not presented as a universal rule.
