Think your strategy holds up?
Pay us to try and break it.

We backtest other people's strategies the same way we backtest ours — same data infra, same execution model, same brutal stats. You pay for the test, not a passing grade. Most strategies don't pass. The ones that do, we tell you exactly where the edge dies.

How it works.

  1. 01You submit the strategy below — clear enough that we can reimplement it without a follow-up call.
  2. 02We review intake within 48 hours and quote a price based on scope (period, instruments, parameter sweep depth).
  3. 03You pay, we backtest. 5-year minimum, the same execution and slippage model we use for our own algos.
  4. 04You get a full report. Equity curve, Sharpe, Sortino, max drawdown, PSR, per-trade stats, regime breakdown, and where the strategy fails.

Pick a scope.

Price is quoted within 48 hours of intake — it depends on instruments, backtest period, and how many parameter variants you want tested. These are scope tiers, not fixed prices.

What this is not.

Not a sales channel.

A passing backtest doesn't get you onto the GoyBot storefront. Storefront placement is a separate, negotiated arrangement — see methodology §9.

Not signal vending.

We're not generating signals from your strategy. We're testing whether the rules you describe survive five years of NQ data, ES data, or whatever you submit.

Not pay-to-play coverage.

Paying for a Public Editorial Review buys you the review slot — not a positive rating. The rating reflects the backtest. Methodology applies the same to paid and unpaid reviews.

Not for retail copy-trading.

A passing backtest is one data point about a strategy's historical behaviour. It is not a recommendation, not a guarantee, not a basis for sizing capital you can't afford to lose.
