Why Backtest? Because Proof is Better Than Prediction.
Successful investing isn’t about having a crystal ball. It’s about having a process. Backtesting is the cornerstone of that process, allowing you to test your ideas against historical data to see what’s actually worked.
“Crystal balls are for dreamers. Backtests are for builders. The glass may shatter, but the data remains.”

The Portfolio Blueprint finds the DNA of stocks that crushed it in the past, then scouts for today's picks with that same DNA and builds portfolios around them. We put it to the test against the S&P 500 with real historical numbers.
These returns come from a hypothetical backtest, not live trading. Backtests use historical data and assumptions and have many limitations. They do not reflect trading costs, taxes, slippage, or your actual results. This illustration is for education only and is not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, nor a guarantee of future performance.
You Have Two Choices...
The bottom line is simple. We've spent thousands on Wall Street-level data so you don't have to. The only question is: keep guessing with your money, or start investing with provable data?
