Our Investing Mission Statement
Invest like a robot. Take human emotion out of your investing.
Beating the S&P 500 every year.
Using backtested strategies with the highest percentage odds of success.
With the smallest number and size of realized losses as possible.
Financial talking heads will tell you it is not possible for nonprofessional investors to beat the market — so you should let them manage your portfolio.
Research has proven greater than 90% of financial professionals managing investments do not beat the S&P 500 on a yearly basis.
Most investors fail on their own because investing can be difficult, unpredictable and stressful, even with the help of experts. It's also challenging to mirror most investment groups' performance — it requires not only executing the plan they teach or the trade the moment they do, but also emotionally navigating a trade when it goes sideways or against you.
Backtest Invest was inspired from this experience of humans underperforming and underdelivering, and a more robotic, predictable edge was born. We believe that the right kind of education and information can change your investing style and equip you with adequate skills and information to invest.
Our Story
With 20 years of combined market experience trading equities, ETFs, Leveraged ETFs, and options, we became obsessed with finding a better way to invest. We analyzed and subscribed to over 50 different services—Discord groups, investment clubs, newsletters—paying anywhere from $200 to $10,000+ annually for each. Every single one shared the same weakness: humans make mistakes. Emotion, hesitation, and poor accounting methods consistently sabotaged performance.
So we built Backtest Invest to remove the human element entirely. Our 130+ algorithmic strategies use combinations of proven technical indicators—moving averages, heikin ashi candles, market conditions, stochastics, and bollinger bands—to identify and execute trades with mechanical precision. The result: better returns year after year than any subscription service we've encountered.
We do not like to lose money.
Over 10 years of investing, we've learned that risk management is the foundation of consistent returns—and it's different for every investor. Every strategy we build is rigorously analyzed through five critical metrics: risk-reward ratio, success rate, average gain, average loss, and trade length. This process ensures we arrive at portfolios that are both highly risk-managed and genuinely profitable.
Most investors face a choice: either manage risk and sacrifice returns, or chase returns and accept losses. We've rejected that tradeoff. Our portfolios achieve high performance while minimizing realized losses—even our most aggressive strategy is built with loss protection in mind. This mathematical confidence means we execute every signal without hesitation. When a strategy meets our backtesting criteria, we invest immediately, knowing our edge comes from data, not guesswork.
