STRATEGY FACTORY
Backtest & Credibility Review
AI has made it easier than ever to generate trading ideas, strategy rules, code, and backtest results. But a backtest that runs is not necessarily one that can be trusted. As part of Finovax’s Strategy Factory, this service helps traders structure their ideas, evaluate results under clearly documented assumptions, and identify hidden risks before considering real capital deployment.
Why This Matters
AI can now produce plausible trading rules, code, and performance charts in minutes. The harder question is whether those results are robust, reproducible, and based on assumptions that reflect real-world trading. Finovax created this service as a focused extension of Strategy Factory to help traders distinguish a functioning backtest from a credible one.
Two Ways We Can Help
Have a trading idea but no reliable backtest? We can translate the idea into clearly defined rules, document assumptions, and produce a structured result. Already have code or performance output? We can review the methodology, challenge hidden biases, and explain which risks matter before real capital is considered.
Why This Service Exists
What We Review
We examine overfitting and parameter sensitivity; data leakage and look-ahead bias; transaction-cost, liquidity, and execution assumptions; and whether the process can be reproduced from the documented rules and data. The result is a plain-language credibility assessment—not a promise of performance.
