Why most backtests look better than live results
Slippage, fees, survivorship bias and look-ahead bias. How each inflates results.
TradingBot turns trading rules into backtests, checks them for overfitting and hidden costs, and writes a risk plan, for self-directed traders building systematic strategies.
