Questions. Answered.
Is this investment advice?
No. It is a simulation on historical data, before taxes, with 0.1% trading costs, shown for education and research. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Where do I see the holdings and the next trades?
In the Bourse app, on the strategy screen: the equity curve against the S&P 500, current holdings, past trades and the trades planned for the next rebalance.
How is the backtest protected from hindsight?
Every position enters on the day the data became public (filing or publication date), not on the date of the original trade, and models are trained only on earlier data.
Follow the money the day it is filed.
