I've been using a strategy from SetupAlpha and I'm really impressed with its elegance and stability. The unique approach gives me a fresh perspective and ideas I can apply to other strategies I'm developing. I'm currently working on integrating it into my suite of trading strategies.

Running the fund keeps me busy, and we don’t have a big quant team. We use some strategies from SetupAlpha because I can see the work they’ve put into testing. Nothing’s ever certain in markets, but their process makes me more comfortable putting capital behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I get when I buy a strategy?

Each strategy includes the RealTest (.rts) file and a fully written-out text file detailing the strategy rules. This makes it easy to adapt the logic for Python, Amibroker, TradeStation, or other platforms.

The product description clearly outlines the included files, so you know exactly what you're getting.

Can I trust the backtests?

Yes, and here’s why:

  • We use robust testing techniques (out-of-sample, Monte Carlo, walk-forward)
  • We include trading costs, avoid survivorship bias, and don’t over-optimize

If a strategy doesn’t pass our own robustness checks, it’s not sold.

How do I combine multiple strategies?

If you're building a portfolio:

  • We help you combine uncorrelated strategies in RealTest (trend, breakout, mean reversion, short)
  • You can build “all-weather” setups and even apply dynamic weighting (based on VIX, trend filters, etc.)
  • Ask for help, we’ll guide you

We recommend starting with four systems - Portfolio Builder.

What happens after I buy?

Here’s the usual process:

  1. Download files
  2. Open RealTest
  3. Open downloade file in RealTest
  4. Click test

We're available throughout this process if you need help.

Can I run this strategy in RealTest without coding?

Yes. All strategies are ready to load and run. No coding required. Just open RealTest, select the file, and hit “Run.”

How often do you update performance results?

It can vary, usually not longer than two months.

What data do I need?

Most strategies are designed for Norgate Premium Data (U.S. stocks) to avoid survivorship bias and ensure proper backtests. Norgate Silver data works fine if you want only live trade. Some simpler strategies can also use Yahoo Finance. Check each product page for specifics.

Can I use this in Python, AmiBroker, or other platforms?

Yes. Each strategy includes a full text description of the logic, so you can rebuild it in other platforms.

We’ve had users convert to Python, AmiBroker, TradeStation, and more.

How is the forecasted performance calculated?

Below the monthly performance chart, you can see the average gain/loss for each month. If the next month is August, the forecast uses August’s historical average performance, then converts that percentage into a dollar value. All forecasts are statistical estimates, not guarantees.

What if I don’t understand something?

You can message us. Every purchase includes free support.

Whether it’s a setup issue, RealTest usage, or logic clarification, we’ll walk you through it. You’re not left alone.

Do you offer a refund?

Yes. We provide a 30-day money-back guarantee for your peace of mind. But only if the strategy logic or performance metrics differ from what is shown on our website, or if there are coding errors or issues, we will offer a full refund. Read more here.

Can I get help customizing or combining strategies?

Yes. We offer services to custom code, fix, or combine strategies into one RealTest portfolio or even prep them for live trading. Check our Service pages.
