Institutional Backtesting
What is it?
Backtesting evaluates a strategy against historical market data to measure how it would have performed. It is the standard way to separate ideas that worked from ideas that only sound good.
How Trade11AI does it
Trade11AI's backtest engine validates strategies before they are recommended, and its rejection criteria are published: a strategy is automatically rejected if its win rate is below 55%, its profit factor is below 1.5, its maximum drawdown exceeds 15%, its expectancy is negative, or the sample contains fewer than 5 trades. Passing strategies are marked VERIFIED and graded from Average to Elite; failing ones are marked REJECTED and excluded from recommendations.
Key facts
- Published rejection criteria: WR < 55%, PF < 1.5, DD > 15%, negative expectancy, sample < 5 trades
- VERIFIED / REJECTED badges on strategies in the app
- Score grades from Average to Elite
- Backtests describe history and never promise future results
Common questions
Why publish rejection criteria?
Transparency. Users can verify that recommendations are filtered by fixed, falsifiable thresholds rather than cherry-picked examples.
Does a VERIFIED badge guarantee the strategy will keep working?
No. Backtests measure historical behavior only; market conditions change and future results are never guaranteed.
