Most tools stop at headline returns. This shows drawdowns, loss runs, robustness and out-of-sample survivability — the full statistical picture.
Why it's different
Most analysts only look at headline returns. Serious research needs variance, drawdowns, robustness and out-of-sample behaviour.
Features
From quick backtests to deep validation — idea → test → refinement.
Run strategies across thousands of historical matches and instantly see performance curve, return, drawdown and success rate.
Filter by team, price range, form (last N games, min wins), home/away split. Build precise conditions for rigorous historical analysis.
Underwater drawdown charts, consecutive loss analysis, price bucket breakdowns, monthly performance and variance stress tests.
Monte Carlo simulation, stability scoring and train/test splits to see whether performance is real edge or just noise.
Overlay performance curves and compare returns, drawdowns, success rates and consistency across up to 5 strategies at once.
Sweep price ranges, form thresholds and sizing parameters to find stronger variants of your strategy automatically.

FAQ

You get strategy filters, drawdown charts, price bucket analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, train/test validation and side-by-side comparison built in — no formula maintenance, no data wrangling.
18+ European leagues including the top English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Belgian, Scottish, Turkish and Greek leagues — all with historical closing price data from 2010 to present.
