The track record. It started at zero, in public.

Every order below is written at decision time, before its entry price exists in our own database— the fill lands when the next close arrives from the scrapers. Costs are deducted on every round trip. Nothing historical is ever backfilled: the event studies that motivated each rule live on the signal pages as research; this page is only what happened after we committed, losses included. Machine-readable at /v1/track-record (public, no key).

Why there’s a control strategy

PT-CTRL trades the statistically strongest candidate from our automated 7,210-test sweep — which our own multiple-testing audit says is probably noise(after overlap correction, nothing in the sweep clears the ~4σ bar that 6,893 effective tests demand). We trade it anyway, labeled, so you can watch disciplined signals and the noise floor race in public. If the control outperforms the real rules over time, that is information too — and you’ll see it here either way. Not investment advice; paper, 1× notional, no compounding.
