Disclaimer

Note: All backtests and returns noted on this website are the result of simulations. It is the intent of these simulations to make use only of information that could have been known at the time of the simulated trades, and not with the benefit of hindsight.

However, the strategies being tested were devised after the fact, and in some measure do indeed benefit from hindsight. Furthermore, while effort has been made to use accurate data and software algorithms, there nevertheless may be errors in the data and in the software that runs these simulations.

In addition, on stock market backtests, for certain there is an issue with “survivorship bias” for the stock strategies being tested. That is, the universe of stocks being tested is the 500 stocks that made up the S&P 500 index at some point within the last few years. No attempt has been made to change this universe of stocks to those that were actually included in the S&P 500 index before or after that time.

The results presented here are not guaranteed to be the actual performance of any particular strategy during the time frame indicated, nor are they a guarantee of future performance.

Nobody connected with this website is a professional investment advisor and nothing you see here constitutes any particular recommendation for purchase of any security, nor constitutes any sort of investment advice whatsoever.

The bottom line is: Use this information entirely at your own risk.

In full disclosure, the operators of this website are most likely following these strategies in their own financial portfolios, so any “picks” that are noted on this website may already be owned (or may be purchased imminently) by the operators of this website.
