These describe what the market is doing — they are not
advice about what to do. Your own method decides that.
Bots' money, last days
What's going on
These readings blend into one score the bots trade with. News is what
people are saying; Econ data is the numbers actually released, scored
against what forecasters expected; Smart money is where big funds and
gold ETFs are positioned. A quiet day here is normal — most days are quiet.
A single result never tells you whether a strategy is good — only whether
it was good, once. These pages ask the harder questions: would it
still work if the settings were slightly different, if the same trades had
arrived in a different order, if a broker took its cut, and in which
conditions it actually earns its money.
Is this luck?1,000 alternative years
Your result is one run of luck. This builds a thousand
alternative years by drawing the same kinds of trade at random, so you can
see the range of outcomes the strategy could plausibly have produced —
including the bad ones that simply did not happen this time.
The luck testevery setting, not just yours
Re-runs the whole year at every value of
each slider. A plateau means the idea works across a range and your exact
number doesn't matter much. A lonely spike means you found a fluke.
When it worksby market condition
Trades are grouped by what the market was doing when each
one opened. A strategy that only earns in one regime is a strategy with a
switch you haven't built yet.
Over timerolling 3-month result
One yearly total can hide a strategy that died in March.
Quarters and a rolling line show when it worked and when it stopped.
By session and weekday
A saved bot keeps a forward record: from the day you saved it, it is
replayed over every new candle since — the same honest test as a backtest,
except it could not have been tuned to fit. Backtests flatter; forward
records tell the truth. Everything is stored on this phone only.
Forward records, side by side
The Lab replays a bot over a real year of 30-minute spot gold — the same
replay the official backtests use. Move a slider and the whole year
recomputes on your phone. News score held at 0; no spread or slippage
charged, so these numbers are friendlier than real trading.
Past results never promise future ones.
Realismwhat a broker takes
Cost per round trip
Spread, slippage and commission, in dollars per ounce.
0 matches the paper engine and every published backtest. A real broker
usually takes $0.30–0.60 in normal hours, and several dollars around news.
Overnight financing (swap)
Enter what your own broker charges — a positive number is a
cost, a negative one a credit (short positions sometimes pay you). Charged
only for nights actually held: rollover happens at 5pm New York on trading
days, so Saturday and Sunday are free, and one day counts triple because
the position's settlement date jumps the weekend. For gold and FX that day is
Wednesday.

Your record
You vs a botsame days, same market
The bot is replayed over exactly the days your log covers,
starting from the same $10,000. It is not a competition — it is a way to see
whether your judgement added anything to a mechanical rule.
Trade log
Economic-data report card
One row per data morning: the econ score when the bots
first knew, and where gold stood 4 and 24 hours later. Months of rows —
not feelings — will decide whether the econ layer keeps its voice.
"na" means the market was closed at that mark.
