PropProtect intelligence

The verdict matters more than raw win rate.

The product is simple: know when conditions are worth trading and when the smartest trade is no trade.

71.4%

Win rate on GO days

When PropProtect rates conditions as favourable, historical outcomes were substantially stronger.

28.6%

Win rate on AVOID days

When PropProtect says sit out, ignoring the verdict historically produced far weaker conditions.

PropProtect verdict versus actual outcome

How each verdict correlated with trade outcomes from January to May 2026.

GO days
71.4%
CAUTION
~45%
AVOID
28.6%
What this means: A trader who only trades GO days and sits out AVOID days historically saw a 71.4% win rate. Trading every day produced 53.2%. The verdict improved selectivity by 18 percentage points.

Methodology

How the backtest was conducted.

Clear assumptions, visible exclusions and no hidden data handling.

1

Real price data

TradingView H1 OHLCV bars from January to May 2026. No synthetic price data.

2

Spread costs included

Forex majors, crosses and BTCUSD costs deducted from every trade.

3

No look-ahead bias

Signals confirmed on candle close with entry on the next candle open only.

4

PropProtect filter

GO, CAUTION and AVOID verdicts applied using volatility, trend, news and risk context.

5

Prop firm rules

1% risk per trade with daily and total drawdown guards applied.

6

Honest exclusions

ETHUSD and NAS100 are excluded from the live service and still shown in the table.

Honest note: The strategy performed better in directional and volatile markets than quiet ranging conditions. March 2026 only returned +0.18%, which is published openly rather than hidden. Results should be updated monthly as more live data accumulates.
