I tested 15 popular algo trading strategies. Here's what I killed — and why.

Most algo trading content teaches you what to build. Nobody teaches you what to stop building.


After years of testing, I've documented 15 strategies that consistently fail — not because they're theoretically wrong, but because they break down on real data, real spreads, and real execution conditions. Mean reversion on low-volume assets. Moving average crosses without regime filters. Volatility breakouts that look great in backtests and bleed live.


The problem isn't that traders are dumb. It's that bad strategies look convincing until they don't.


So I built The Evidence Desk — a community where algo traders share what actually works (and what doesn't), collaborate on backtests, and build with data instead of gut feeling.


Tier 1 is open now:

  • Full Kill List (15 disproven strategies with analysis)

  • 2 proven starter strategies to build from

  • Private community Discord for collaboration


$79, one-time. No subscriptions while we build. More tiers coming.


If you're serious about building real edge in algorithmic trading, you start by eliminating what doesn't work.
