Methodology

How FainTrading computes what it shows

Numbers without a published method are marketing. These pages document exactly how the platform calculates its backtest results and its practice-readiness score: the constants, the weights, the fallbacks, and the limitations, stated plainly.

  • Honest-fill backtesting methodology

    Every backtest runs twice - an ideal run and a realistic run degraded by spread capture, commissions, and assignment. Every constant in the friction model is published on the page.

  • Live-Readiness Score methodology

    Five weighted metrics over closed paper trades, a documented cost-replay model, and a 30-trade minimum gate. Weights and scoring anchors are published.
