Proof
What’s been built, taught and tested. Every backtest is labelled as a backtest, and nothing here is an income promise.

Figures come from a historical simulation (backtest) that includes estimated commissions and slippage. They are not live trading results and do not predict or guarantee future performance.
Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
Two traders. Same market. Different equity curve.
DISCRETIONARY — EMOTION, GUESSWORK, REVENGE TRADES
Drawdowns: deep and frequent
Consistency: low
SYSTEMATIC — RULES, TESTED, AUTOMATED
Drawdowns: shallow
Consistency: rules, every time
Illustrative comparison — not a backtest. Real backtested figures are above.
THE DIFFERENCE ISN’T TALENT. IT’S A SYSTEM.
How strategies are tested
The process behind every Aika strategy.
- Costs in every numberCommissions and slippage are included in every result, then doubled as a stress test.
- Out-of-sample, run onceRules are tuned on one period, frozen, then tested once on data they have never seen.
- Stable settings, not lucky onesParameters come from the middle of a stable range, not the single best value.
- Small nudges must holdIf shifting a setting slightly breaks the result, the result wasn’t real.
