Markets

Every test on this site, grouped by the market it was run in. A strategy has one post; a market page shows how everything did in that market, so you can see what worked, if anything, where you trade. Tests that cover two markets appear in both.

Futures

Exchange-traded futures: the E-mini S&P 500 (ES) and the E-mini Nasdaq-100 (NQ), and gold futures (GC) in one test, from 1-minute data 2020 to September 2026, with real per-trade costs (about $31 on ES, $16 on NQ). YM and crude futures are not tested yet.

Metals

Gold, as spot XAUUSD from a broker (a CFD-style price, not a futures contract), from 2004: opening-range and noise-area breakouts, golden crosses, EMA crossovers, RSI 30/70, the TTM Squeeze, WaveTrend, the head and shoulders pattern and the Turtle rules, on 1-minute to daily bars. Gold futures (GC) appear in one test and sit in both Futures and Metals.

Crypto

Bitcoin so far, as BTCUSDT from Binance (1-minute history from August 2017), tested on daily bars (the Turtle rules, 0.1% of costs on every fill), on 15-minute bars (a trend pullback) and on 1-minute bars around the clock (the noise area breakout), both at 0.05% on every fill. Bitcoin trades all week, so its days run 00:00 to 24:00 UTC.
