Historical backtests · Costs excluded · Not live returnsIllustrative backtest profits before trading costs. Monthly averages include all 72 months, including losing months.
R measures a result relative to the risk amount defined in each report. For the M30 versions, 1R equals USD 500 in the original research. A result of +2R therefore equals +USD 1,000 under that reporting basis. R definitions differ across versions; see Data & Methodology for details. These totals are not the returns of a single trading account.
Gains appear in green and losses in red. Totals sum six annual results and do not represent achievable single-account returns.
