Publish the evidence.
Measure the result.
Educational research tools for systematic traders on MetaTrader 5. We publish how each tool performs — the full period, the full curve, drawdowns included — so you can judge a system before you ever run it on your own account.

Trading involves risk of loss · past performance ≠ future results · you stay responsible for every trade
Three steps into the lab
No checkout, no master passwords, no promises — just a clean procedure.
Join the waitlist
Access is not on sale and there is nothing to check out. Tell us how you trade and we will let you know when a place opens.
> waitlist.joined ✓
We set you up
When a place opens we arrange access with you directly and set your licence up against your account. Nothing is sold on this site — there is no checkout, and no card details are taken here at any point.
> payment.rail = NONE ✓
Link your terminal
Your MT5 terminal reports its own results back to your dashboard, and your equity curve and closed trades render from them. No password of any kind is asked for, accepted or stored — not investor, not master — and you can unlink the terminal whenever you want.
> credentials.collected = NONE ✓
Instruments, not promises
Everything here helps you understand and measure a strategy. Nothing here promises a profit.
Published backtests
Results are published as full reports — the whole tested period and the whole curve, losing stretches included. No cherry-picked windows.
Your performance dashboard
Equity and balance curves and your closed-trade history, pushed straight from your own MT5 terminal — updated as you trade.
Licences you control
A licence is bound to one MT5 account. Return it from your bench whenever you choose — the account it moves to is approved by us — and get a replacement key whenever you need one.
Privacy-first
No broker password is collected at all — not investor, not master. Your terminal reports out to your own dashboard and you can unlink it at any moment. Per-user isolation, no data ever sold.
Curves that draw themselves in
The whole tested period and the whole curve — drawdowns, losing months and all. Shown with the conditions that produced it, because a curve without its assumptions is a claim rather than a result.
Gold (XAUUSD) — twelve months, both tools
The two do not have bad weeks together. Holding both drew down 7.22% at its worst — less than NAOS on its own, at 14.16%. That is the one number here that only exists in the comparison.
Month by month — RIGEL + NAOS + BOTH
The conditions that produced it
- The window is IN-SAMPLE. M5's parameters were chosen on a 247-day window inside it and M15's canonical snapshot sits inside it too. A longer window on the same tape is a fuller in-sample picture, not a forward test. (D93)
- configs/XAUUSD_M5.mqh records that 92.8% of M5's edge on this tape sits in 3 blocks of 10, so the curve is steep in one stretch and flat either side.
- Run on a CUSTOM symbol imported for publication, which carries whatever spread, commission and swap were set at import. MEASURED: commission is ZERO on M5/M15 -- a real account pays more than this curve shows.
- Fixed 0.05 lots on $3,000, NOT the shipped default (Balanced Compounding). Fixed lot is what makes a published curve comparable between readers.
- These numbers are NOT the gate references. check_m15_gate asserts 305/198/5,109.67/598.06 and check_m5_parity asserts 5,921.97, both on the LIVE broker symbol over a different window. Never re-baseline one on the other.
Past performance, including backtested and simulated results, does not indicate or guarantee future results. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.
Your data, sealed
We never ask for a broker password. Your terminal pushes out; nothing of ours reaches in.
Every answer the platform gives an EA is cryptographically signed, so a reply cannot be forged or replayed.
Unlink your terminal at any time — the link is cut immediately and the history goes with it.
Your trading record is your private data. Never sold, never shared, never used to advertise.
Not open yet
Access is not on sale. Join the waitlist and we will tell you when a place opens.
Get the opening notice
One email when access opens. No newsletter, no drip sequence, and nothing sold or passed on to anyone else.
The waitlist is closed. It opens for a short window each month.
Educational research tools only. Nothing here is financial advice, and no outcome of any kind is promised.
Read before you pour
Straight answers, including the ones that put people off.
Can I buy access right now?
No. Access is not on sale and this site takes no payment of any kind — there is no checkout, no card form and no plan to pick. Join the waitlist and we will tell you when that changes.
What is this, exactly?
A research lab for systematic traders on the MetaTrader 5 platform. We research strategies, publish what we test with the full period and the full curve, and build the ones that hold up into Expert Advisors you run on your own MT5 account. There is also a performance dashboard that renders your own numbers back to you. These are educational research tools, not financial advice and not a managed account.
Do you promise returns?
No — and we never will. Trading involves substantial risk of loss, and past or backtested performance does not guarantee future results. Everything in the lab is an educational research tool for studying strategies.
What credentials do you need from my broker account?
None at all. We never ask for, accept or store a broker password of any kind — not the master password and not the investor password. Your MT5 terminal reports its own figures back to your dashboard, you can unlink it at any moment, and nothing of ours can reach into your account.
What do you do with my email if I join the waitlist?
We email you once, when access opens. The list is held in our own system and nowhere else, it is never sold or passed to anyone else, and there is no newsletter attached to it. What we keep and for how long is set out in the privacy notice.
Who can see my trading data?
Only you. Your trading record is your private data — it is visible to you in your own dashboard and to nobody else, and we never sell or share it. Unlinking your terminal stops it immediately and removes the history it sent.
