Backfill a Day

Pull a whole day of 1-minute candles from IG history. Each day is logged so it won't be pulled twice (it spends the weekly allowance). Tick Force to re-pull a logged day.

Fill Gaps

Detect missing minutes and pull only the gaps. Market-closed holes cost ~nothing; you spend allowance only on genuinely-missing candles.

Trend filters — gate entries (all selected must agree)

Tick any combination. A long only fires when every ticked filter reads up (or "trending" for strength gates); short mirrors. These are independent of the EMA10/20 filter above.

Date range scopes the test to a period — e.g. an up/down trend. Empty = last 30 days.

📌 Current take — research notes

updated 2026-07-06 · gold · ~27d in-sample

⚠ Read the drawdown honestly. The Max DD% column below is realized (closed-trade only) and understates reality. The True DD in the Buckets table marks open positions to market and is ~1.5–2× higher for anything that stacks positions. Max concurrent positions is the real risk driver — a strategy showing 13% DD but holding 15 positions at once really draws ~25%.

⚠ Regime note (Jul 3–6): the last ~4 sessions were hostile to the decorrelators — stoch-er collapsed (29% win, +3%, Sharpe 0.04; bleeding >2 weeks) and zimp-3m-adx softened (+29%, true DD 10.3%). Every U-bucket's true DD roughly doubled vs the 07-03 numbers (U5+clv 14.2→26.6%). The clv family held up best (clv-5m positive in every trailing window).

Best standalone → clv-5m (+87%, true DD 8.8%, Sharpe 0.37, live). pbreak-er still the Sharpe leader (0.39, ~8% DD). Old anchor zimp-3m-adx is now mid-pack — keep for diversification, not as the star.

Best 100–150% return → mom-adapt-15m (+116%, Sharpe 0.38). But its true DD is ~22% (holds up to 14 positions). Big return in ~4 weeks structurally needs high concurrency — there is no 100%-return-at-low-DD.

Best buckets: the decorrelators are zimp (low-corr to all), stoch-er (negatively correlated with most) and pin-15m; the best trend-slot filler is now clv-5m (Round 22 CLV run — the highest Ret/DD single in the table; ~0 corr with stoch-er/pin-15m). Best low-DD trio → F1-clv: clv + zimp + emax-er (+217%, true DD 11.7%, 9 open — beats F1-stairs on both DD and efficiency). Best Ret/DD → U5+clv: all of U5 + clv (+531%, true DD 14.2%, Ret/TrueDD 37 — beats U6 on every axis, and its true DD is only ~2.5pts above the trio's). U5 (+273%, 13.7%) remains the calmer wide bucket. All U-, M-, F- and clv-bucket components are executor-wired — start each component's ex-* preset (hover a bucket row for the exact list).

Don't trust returns literally. These are compounded ~3-week in-sample figures, not forecasts — use them to compare, not predict. Sort by Real R/DD or Sharpe, not raw Return%.

Presets / Strategy library

Stats are at 1% capital risk per trade (Return %, Max DD % — compounded over the ~22-day in-sample window; ⚠ = under 30 trades, low confidence). Return%/Ret/DD = idealized (sequential); Real%/Real R/DD = overlap-aware — what you'd realistically get with concurrent positions, matching the Backtest page). Hover a preset name for its full setup. Archive hides it from the Backtest/Positions dropdowns; Load opens it in the Backtest tab.

Diversified Strategy Buckets

Running several different strategies on one account (each at 1% risk/trade), over the ~22-day in-sample window. Real DD = realized (closed-trade) drawdown — optimistic. True DD = honest mark-to-market drawdown including the floating P&L of every concurrently-open position — the number that matters. Max open = worst simultaneous position count (≈ % of the account at risk at once); a high value means real concurrent leverage. ⚠ = watch the concurrency. In-sample only — the components are all gold trend-followers, so their drawdowns are partly correlated (they can pile into losers together).
