The Rules Are Fixed Before the Result

What the Lesson Covers

1. 0:00Any track record can be improved by choosing the rules afterwards.
2. 0:05The decisions that must be fixed. Which price, over what window, and what counts as a result at all.
3. 0:15The easiest way to cheat. Simply not counting the ones that did not work. It is invisible from outside.
4. 0:24Why the window matters so much. Measuring to the highest price after the fact makes any record look excellent.
5. 0:33Worked examples follow the same rule. Our case studies write up closed alerts that did not work beside the ones that did, and print the split.
6. 0:42The test to apply anywhere. Are the rules published, and were they fixed before the results existed?
7. 0:50Check it yourself. Our record can be sliced by year, hold and market regime, and downloaded as a file you can check line by line.
8. 1:00Your own trades beside it. On the Alerts/Performance tab, My Trade Journal lines up each trade you log with its alert, for your own review.
9. 1:09Ask for the rules, and check they were set beforehand.
