What the backtests show
These are findings from the backtested record STS Trading publishes, each generated from one scanner run and printed with the date of that run. They include the results that do not flatter the product, because those are the ones worth knowing before you trade.
Last updated 30 September 2026. Figures from the scanner run of 2026-11-01, every published timeframe, market data through 2026-11-01.
- What the spread costs, timeframe by timeframe
The same strategies before and after costs, from 1 minute to daily.
- Which markets carry the edge
One set of rules on every asset class, and very different results.
- How many trades make a win rate
How far a month's win rate sits from the full record, by sample size.
- Limit or market entry
What waiting for a better price gains, and which trades it misses.
Every figure is from the backtested record STS Trading publishes: fixed rules run over real price history, one trade at a time, entered at market unless the piece says otherwise. Markets are pooled at one fixed target and none is left out. R per 100 trades is what 100 trades made or lost, in units of the amount risked on each.
It is a description of past data. It is not a forecast and not advice, and slippage and overnight financing are not included.
