Checked Sep 22, 2026. These numbers come from the video. They are backtest or simulated results, not live trading, and not financial advice.

The app I built to log a backtest and run it through prop firm challenge rules. It is free to try.

Members get the code behind my backtests, the results before the video goes public, and a vote on what I test next.

EdgeFinder is my app and Backtest Lab is my channel membership, so both of these pay me. They never change a test result.
