Don't take our
word for it.

This is the real record — generated straight from our data, refreshed automatically. Which chart patterns actually work after fees, and every trade the desk made, wins and losses. No login required. No cherry-picking.

01 / pattern reality

Do chart patterns actually work?

We tested classic patterns across the market and measured the forward return net of fees. Green = real edge. Red = it works against you. Grey = no edge once fees are real. Most "winning" patterns aren't.

Honest caveat: the sample spans bull-heavy years on a survivor universe, so long-side "edges" carry a market-drift tailwind. This is a descriptive audit, not a promise. Last run: 2026-06-22.
02 / the desk book

Our actual positions — wins and losses.

The desk's real paper-traded systems, net of fees. We show the losers because the losers are the proof we're not lying about the winners.

03 / the autopsy we published on ourselves

When our own bot lied, we said so first.

+4.12 Sharpe → −35% in 6 days

One of our systems looked brilliant in backtest, then lost 35% live in under a week — adverse selection on real fills. We published the trade-by-trade autopsy instead of burying it. That's the whole company in one chart.
