Backtesting, under oath

Your backtest is beautiful probably lying.

Peirama runs your trading strategy through a statistical gauntlet — walk-forward analysis, permutation tests, look-ahead detection, deflated Sharpe — and gives you an honest verdict. Describe a strategy in plain English. Get the truth in minutes.

Real verdicts on textbook strategies. Years of one-minute market data, fees included. Strategies do pass — they just have to earn it.
The problem

Every backtest tool shows you an equity curve.
Almost none ask if it's real.

Three lies produce most "profitable" strategies — and standard backtesting software checks for none of them.

Overfitting

Try enough parameter combinations and one will look brilliant by luck alone. The more you iterate, the more impressive your best result — and the less it means.

Look-ahead bias

One misplaced index and your strategy quietly trades on information from the future. The equity curve looks incredible. Live trading doesn't.

Luck mistaken for edge

Markets trend. A coin-flip strategy can print +40R over a good stretch. Without significance testing, you can't tell skill from noise — so most people don't try.

The method

Six gates. No exceptions.

Every strategy — AI-generated or hand-written — runs the same gauntlet. Each gate can reject. Only what survives all six earns a passing verdict.

Generate

Describe the strategy in plain English. AI writes the code against a strict, auditable interface.

Sandbox

Static analysis rejects unsafe or non-conforming code before a single bar is processed.

Guard

Market data is served through guarded arrays. Reading tomorrow's bar doesn't skew results — it halts the run.

Backtest

Event-driven simulation with realistic fills, fees and slippage on years of real market data.

Interrogate

Walk-forward folds, permutation tests, Monte Carlo, regime splits, fat-tail stress, causality checks.

Verdict

A plain answer: which tests passed, which failed, and whether the result beats luck — after counting your attempts.

The trial counter is the part you'll hate — and need. Peirama records every variant you test and raises the significance bar accordingly (deflated Sharpe, after Bailey & López de Prado). Run fifty tweaks and "profitable" must beat the best of fifty coin-flips, not just zero. Your holdout data stays locked until you deliberately spend it. This is what separates evidence from curve-fitting.

The point
Peirama can't be sweet-talked, and it doesn't care how good the equity curve looks. That's the product.

For traders: stop deploying luck. A strategy that fails the gauntlet in three minutes would have failed in your account over three months — Peirama just charges you less for the lesson.

For learners: the fastest education in quantitative finance is watching your brilliant idea get interrogated — and understanding exactly which test it failed, and why.
