Disclosures

Backtests, resampled ranges, pass rates, payouts, optimization and walk-forward results, forward tests, and every example or demonstration on this site and in the product are simulated. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission prescribes the following statement for simulated or hypothetical performance, and we treat it as applying to every simulated result we show:

Across the site and the product you will also find a one-line version under simulated figures, "Simulated results. They have inherent limitations.", which opens to the full statement in place.

Past performance, whether actual or simulated, is not indicative of future results.

Historical data. A backtest replays recorded tick-level market data through your strategy. Recorded data can contain gaps and errors, and the market it records will not repeat.

Modeled fills and costs. No order in a backtest reaches a market. Fills are modeled: at the recorded trade price, or, when you choose it, by walking recorded order-book depth and waiting in a modeled queue. Commissions, slippage and latency are the values you set or the model's estimates. A real order can fill at a different price, later, in part, or not at all.

Resampled ranges. Robustness and prop firm simulations resample and reorder your backtest's own trades thousands of times. They show the range of outcomes those trades could have produced in a different order. They cannot show trades the strategy never took, or market conditions the history does not contain.

Optimization. Choosing settings by searching over many runs fits them to the history they were chosen on, and the more settings searched, the more of a result can be luck. Walk-forward tests and holdout periods reduce this; they do not remove it.

Forward tests. A forward test runs a frozen strategy on market data recorded after it was frozen. It is still a simulation: no order is placed.

Prop firm simulations. Firm presets are modeled on each firm's publicly available rules, and firms change their rules. A simulated pass rate or payout is an estimate from your strategy's past trades, not a promise. Verify a firm's current rules with the firm.

The AI copilot. The copilot's explanations and strategy suggestions are generated by a language model. They can be wrong, and they are not advice.

Trading futures, equities and crypto involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor.

Futures are leveraged: a small price move can cause a loss larger than the money in the account.
