Backtest
Pick a stock, crypto, commodity or futures contract, a date and an amount. This shows what that money would be worth today, using the actual price history — nothing here is a prediction about what happens next.
Want to test the screener itself, not one stock? Backtest buying the healthiest companies.
Crypto trades every day of the year, including weekends, so this curve has roughly 40% more points than a stock over the same window. Returns are still annualised on calendar days, so the yearly average is on the same footing as a share's.

Annualised — the steady yearly rate that would produce the same result.
Dividends, if any, were reinvested into more shares rather than paid out as cash.

Each row is the same lump sum invested that far back and held to today — not a strategy, just a different starting date. A row marked “from … only” is shorter than its label because the price history does not reach back that far.

Trading strategies
Run mean reversion, RSI dip buying, the golden cross, a 200-day trend rule and an intraday opening-range breakout over the same stock — each against simply buying and holding it.
Four things need a free account: the screener backtest, the trade journal, the trading strategies, and the moving averages drawn over a result. Everything else works signed out — company pages, the screener, comparisons, charts, crypto and commodities, and working out what an investment would have been worth.
Educational only, not investment advice. This uses real historical prices and, where available, real dividend payments — but it assumes a lump sum invested on one day and held without ever selling, which is rarely how anyone actually invests. No fees, spreads or taxes are modelled, and no correction is made for surviving to be listed today — a company that failed along the way would not appear here to be picked at all.
