Open the strategy book for the trade-ready rules of every strategy that passed. Every EDGE PRO strategy: whole, by session, by hour, plus 1H / 4H body closes. All times New York. Numbers = NQ Dec 2022 → MNQ Oct 16 2026 together (46 months), after 1 pt cost.
─ How to read it ─
WR = how often a trade ends in profit.
avg win / avg loss = the size of a typical win and loss. With ½ out the wins are small (half off at +0.5R), so a high WR is not big money.
avg RR = average result per trade in stops (1 = one full stop). This is what pays.
$ / month = avg RR × trades a month × your risk.
─ The 2-period test ─
Period 1 = Dec 2022 – Dec 2025 (NQ data, 35 months). Period 2 = Dec 2025 – Oct 2026 (MNQ data, 10 months).
✔ PASS avg RR above +0.05 in period 1 (30+ trades) AND in period 2 (10+ trades).
✖ FAIL lost money in one period.
~ NOT SURE too few trades, or too small to tell.
Why it matters: it is a TEST, not a profit score. An edge that keeps working on months it was never tuned on is less likely to be luck. A PASS row can still be weak — read the row color.
─ Row color = profitable? ─
Green = PROFITABLE: made money (avg RR above 0), t-score 2+ (probably not luck) and did not FAIL the test.
Yellow = MAYBE: made money, but t-score under 2 (could be luck) or it lost money in one period.
Red = NOT PROFITABLE: lost money overall (avg RR 0 or below).
The Why column says in one line why the row made or lost money. Small slices lie: 20 trades can show 90% WR by luck.
Trades a month = every signal of that strategy alone. EDGE PRO with max 2 open trades and the daily stop takes fewer.
