Every number on this site comes from running rules over data that has already happened. That is a useful thing. It is not the same thing as knowing what your account will do.
The short version. These are our backtest results on historical data. They are not a forecast, not a promise of income, and not financial advice. Your own results will differ from ours. Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss, and you can lose more than you deposit.
We take strategies that are taught publicly — on YouTube, in paid courses, in written playbooks — convert the stated rules into code, and run them against years of real futures data with trading costs applied. Then we publish what happened, whether it flatters the strategy or not.
Every result here is a historical simulation. No trade on this site was placed with real money in a real account.
A backtest answers one narrow question: if these exact rules had been followed over this exact stretch of data, what would the arithmetic have been? It does not answer whether you will make money. Those are different questions, and only the first one can be settled by a computer.
Your results will differ from ours. Specifically:
Fills. We assume an order is filled at a price the data shows traded. Your broker, your latency and the size you trade will not always give you that price.
Costs. We apply a fixed round-turn cost per contract. Yours depend on your broker, your volume and your exchange fees.
Slippage in fast markets. The moments a strategy most wants to trade are often the moments the order book is thinnest.
A different stretch of market. Ours ran over the years the data covers. You will trade the years that come next, and they are not obliged to resemble them.
You. A backtest never skips a trade, never doubles up after a loss and never switches the platform off during a losing month. You might.
Passed means a strategy cleared every check we apply, including beating its own control and surviving a correction for how many variations were searched. It does not mean it will keep working.
Unproven means the numbers look favourable but at least one check is not satisfied — usually too few trades to separate the result from luck.
Failed means the rules, coded as stated and run on this data, did not make money or did not beat their control. That is a statement about written rules on our data. It is not a statement that the person teaching them is dishonest, unskilled or unprofitable — many of them are demonstrably none of those things, and we say so on their pages.
Nothing on this site is financial, investment or trading advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. We do not know your circumstances, your capital or your risk tolerance, and we are not licensed to advise you on any of them.
Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. You can lose more than your initial deposit. Risk only money you can afford to lose entirely, and take advice from a licensed professional before committing any.
Two strategies on this site are paid. What you buy is access to the full rules, the chart replay and every trade in the test — the research. Not an income stream, and not a signal service.
We do not promise you will make money with them. The caveats are published on the same card as the price, including what has not been proved, so the decision is made before paying rather than after.
Everything else in the library is free, including every strategy that failed. Read those first and judge the method before buying anything.
Pages here have shipped with genuine errors in the code — a look-ahead bug, an inverted comparison, a model that silently discarded half its trades. We found those, corrected them, and left the correction written on the page.
If you think a rule has been coded wrongly or a number is off, every strategy page carries a report link at the foot. We would rather hear it from you than leave it published.
Results are computed from minute-level futures data covering the periods stated on each page. Where a trader's own market or timeframe is not one we hold data for, the page says so explicitly rather than quietly substituting something else.
Names, channels and quotations belong to the traders and publishers referenced, and are used to identify whose stated rules are being tested. No affiliation or endorsement is implied in either direction.
‹ Back to all strategiesThe rules come from the teacher's own public video or write-up — or, for a textbook method or our own research, the page says so. They are coded as stated and run over years of futures data from a commercial market-data vendor, with commission charged on every trade; slippage is not modelled. Where a teacher gives no number, every value in the plausible range is tested and all of them are shown — not only the best one. Each page states the market, the period, the sample and the costs used.
Written with software. The tests are code, and the code and much of the writing were produced with AI assistance. Every result comes from that research code. The words around the numbers are written from those results — if you find one that disagrees with its own numbers, tell us and it gets fixed.
If a number here is wrong, say so. Email hello@tradingbite.net with the page and what you think is wrong. If a teacher believes their rules were read incorrectly, tell us how they should be read and we will re-run the test and publish the result, whichever way it goes.
This is not advice. These are tests of publicly taught methods on historical data, published so you can check them yourself. Past results do not predict future results. Trading futures can lose you more than you put in. Terms and full disclaimer ›
