Famous strategies, honestly graded

These are the strategies every course teaches and every forum repeats — usually with zero out-of-sample evidence attached. We specced each one exactly as the folklore states it and ran it through the same engine that grades every Tessen agent: real out-of-sample backtest, real costs, no cherry-picking. Every grade below links to a permanent verification record.

Current score: 0 of 10 pass the gate. That's not cynicism — it's the honest base rate, and exactly why self-reported backtests deserve suspicion.

Every strategy graded on identical terms: 1-hour candles, 8 liquid USDT perpetuals (BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, DOGE, LINK, AVAX), ~6 years of data with a chronological train/test split, real cost hurdle, 1% risk-per-trade sizing, 3x leverage cap. All numbers are out-of-sample (test window only).

And because backtests are history: since July 11, 2026 every one of these specs also runs in our nightly forward-test harness — each page shows its live post-publication record, win or lose.

Some classics can't be expressed faithfully in our spec language yet (the Golden Cross needs a moving-average-vs-moving-average comparison, Ichimoku needs its own plumbing) — we only publish faithful ports, never approximations passed off as the real thing.
