Calendars and rules force big money to trade at predictable moments — index reshuffles, tax deadlines, buybacks. We stand where that forced flow lands.

How we test a System
- Idea. We write the rules down and freeze them before any test runs.
- Backtest. We test on years of history. Most ideas die right here.
- Walk-forward. We re-test on data the tuning never saw — the honest check.
- Paper. We trade it live with fake money for weeks, before any real capital.
- Live. Real money — only after everything above has passed.
