You will get a clear verdict: is your trading backtest a real edge or overfit noise


Project details
You will get a clear, statistics-backed verdict on whether your trading strategy's edge is real — or just curve-fit noise that fails live.
Most backtests look great and then lose money. Two silent killers: overfitting (you tried 200 parameter combos, kept the best, and forgot you tried 200) and out-of-sample decay (the edge dies once it leaves the data it was fit on). I test for both.
Send me your strategy's realized trade returns or equity curve — no code, no API keys, no account access. I run the same three-part battery I use on my own live, capital-at-risk trading agent:
• Deflated Sharpe Ratio — haircuts your Sharpe for how many variants you tried
• Permutation test — how often a coin-flip reproduces your result (your real p-value)
• Purged k-fold cross-validation — does the edge survive out of sample?
You get a plain-English verdict — real edge / borderline / overfit — plus the numbers behind it, so you know whether to risk capital before you do.
Background: J.P. Morgan FX & rates derivatives; I build and run production trading and evaluation systems. I'll tell you the truth — including "this one isn't real," the answer that saves you the most money.
