Pattern mining at scale
Millions of indicator + parameter combinations swept across your data and ranked by real, risk-adjusted performance — not just raw return.
Honest backtesting for real traders
Just set your trade idea, and let TrueEdge explore it for you.
Find YOUR edge — and know it’s real.
TrueEdge sweeps millions of indicator + parameter combinations across your own market data to hunt for your edge — GPU-accelerated on the GPU Edition, fast on CPU everywhere — then tells you the truth about whether it’s real. Every candidate goes through an honest gauntlet: a sealed out-of-sample vault, the Deflated Sharpe Ratio, and walk-forward. If an edge survives, you’ll trust it. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you. No curve-fit mirages.

The problem
Most backtests are lying to you.
Test enough rules on the same history and something will always look brilliant — by luck. That’s not an edge; it’s a coincidence dressed up in an equity curve. The trading internet is drowning in these mirages: sky-high Sharpes, curated screenshots, “97% win rate” bots. They fall apart the moment real money touches them.
TrueEdge is built to do the opposite: hunt hard for patterns, then attack every candidate until only the survivors remain. We’d rather hand you one edge that’s real than a hundred that feel good and lose.
OVERFITThe mirage
- Optimized on all your data
- Best-of-thousands cherry-picked
- No penalty for how many rules you tried
- Looks perfect, breaks live
SURVIVED VAULTTrueEdge
- Data split and a slice sealed away
- Best result penalized for the whole search
- Deflated Sharpe + walk-forward
- What survives is what you trust
How it works
From your data to a verdict — in four moves.
-
01
Bring your data
Import any CSV — any market, any timeframe. Or pull free data built in: crypto (Binance.US or CoinGecko, no key needed) and stocks / ETFs / FX (Alpha Vantage free key). A demo dataset is bundled so you can play in seconds.
-
02
Mine the patterns
The engine sweeps millions of candlestick + indicator + parameter combinations across your history — 267 indicators, ~2,739 features — labeling structure with the Strat taxonomy (1 / 2U / 2D / 3) and ranking every candidate edge.
-
03
Run the honest gauntlet
Each survivor is re-tested on a sealed out-of-sample vault, scored with the Deflated Sharpe Ratio (which penalizes how many patterns you tried), and checked with walk-forward.
-
04
Get a straight answer
A real edge, its stats, and where it works — or an honest “nothing here survived.” Both save you money.
Runs on CPU everywhere; the GPU Edition auto-accelerates on a supported NVIDIA GPU.
What’s inside
A pattern miner with a conscience.
POWER
Explore millions of combinations.
Set an idea; TrueEdge searches for you. It sweeps the full indicator + parameter space — combinations no trader could run by hand — GPU-accelerated on the GPU Edition and fast on CPU everywhere, surfacing every candidate edge ranked by real, risk-adjusted performance.
HONESTY
Know it’s real.
Every survivor is retested on data it has never seen, penalized for the size of the search, and given a straight verdict. No flattery. No mirages.
GPU-ACCELERATED
Set an idea. Explore millions of combinations.
You define the hypothesis — a market, a timeframe, a direction. TrueEdge sweeps the full indicator space: 267 indicators, ~2,739 features, millions of parameter combinations. It ranks every candidate edge by honest, risk-adjusted performance, then delivers a straight verdict on each survivor. True spec: ~137M trade-simulations per second on a modern NVIDIA GPU with the GPU Edition; a full CPU engine crunches the same search on every Windows machine. You get the breadth of a search no trader could run manually — and a result you can actually trust.
GPU-accelerated where you have an NVIDIA GPU; fast CPU everywhere — millions of indicator combinations to find your TrueEdge.
The sealed vault
A slice of your data is locked away before the search begins and only opened once, at the end. If an edge can’t survive data it has never seen, it isn’t one.
Deflated Sharpe Ratio
The more patterns you test, the luckier the best one looks. DSR corrects for that. It’s the difference between “impressive” and “statistically real.”
Your data stays yours
TrueEdge is a desktop app. Your CSVs, your results, your edges — everything is processed and stored on your machine. Nothing is uploaded. Ever.
GPU-fast, CPU-everywhere
~137M trade-simulations per second on a modern NVIDIA GPU with the GPU Edition, plus a full CPU engine that runs on any Windows PC. Auto-detects the GPU when it’s there; fast CPU fallback when it isn’t.
Charts that show the structure
Strat-labeled candlesticks, a ranked edge table, and a live sweep plot — so you can see why a pattern fires, not just trust a number.
Our promise
We won’t lie to you.
Every other backtester is optimized to make you feel like a genius. TrueEdge is optimized to tell you the truth — even when the truth is “there’s no edge here.”
-
We seal a vault before we search. Out-of-sample data you can’t peek at is the only honest test, so it’s baked in, not optional.
-
We penalize the search itself. The Deflated Sharpe Ratio knows you tried a thousand patterns and adjusts the bar accordingly.
-
We walk it forward. Edges are re-checked through time, not just on one convenient window.
-
We’ll say “no edge” out loud. A red verdict is a feature. It just saved you a live account.
-
We don’t sell signals. No alerts, no “join my Discord,” no black-box bot. TrueEdge is a research tool you control.
-
We don’t promise returns. Anyone who guarantees profit in markets is selling you something. We’re selling you honesty.

From the founder
I built TrueEdge because I got tired of backtests that made me feel like a genius right up until they lost my money. Every tool I tried was optimized to flatter me. None of them were built to disagree with me.
So I built the one I wanted: a miner that searches hard, and a validator that fights back. It seals a vault before it looks. It penalizes me for testing a thousand ideas. And when nothing survives, it says so — which has saved me more money than any winning strategy ever did.
I can’t promise you an edge. Nobody honest can. What I can promise is that when TrueEdge says something is real, it earned that word.
— The TrueEdge founder
Straight answers
Questions we refuse to dodge.
Is this financial advice?
No. TrueEdge is research software you run on your own computer. It doesn’t know your finances, doesn’t recommend trades, and doesn’t manage money. It’s a tool for testing your own ideas honestly. We are not a broker, an investment adviser, or a signal service. Nothing in the app or on this site is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
Will it guarantee me an edge?
No — and be very suspicious of anything that says otherwise. Markets can change, past patterns can stop working, and no software can promise future profit. TrueEdge’s whole job is the opposite of a guarantee: it tries to disprove your edge, and only lets through what survives honest testing. Sometimes the honest answer is “nothing here.” That’s the point.
What exactly makes it “honest”?
Three things most backtesters skip: (1) a sealed out-of-sample vault — a slice of your data locked away before the search and opened only once; (2) the Deflated Sharpe Ratio, which penalizes a result for how many patterns were tested to find it; and (3) walk-forward validation through time. Together they filter out results that only look good by luck.
Does my data leave my machine?
No. TrueEdge is a desktop application. Your CSVs, your results, and your discovered edges are processed and stored locally on your PC. We don’t upload your data, and we can’t see it. The only network calls are the optional free data fetchers (Binance.US / CoinGecko for crypto, Alpha Vantage for stocks/ETF/FX) that pull market data in, and a periodic license check with Gumroad (which works offline for up to 72 hours — see the offline question below).
What are the system requirements?
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). ~8 GB RAM recommended. The full CPU engine ships to everyone and runs on any modern Windows PC. Want GPU acceleration? Install the GPU Edition (bundles CUDA) on a machine with a supported NVIDIA GPU and TrueEdge auto-detects it for a large speed-up (up to ~137M trade-sims/sec) — but a GPU is not required. macOS/Linux are not supported at launch.
How do refunds work?
We offer a 14-day refund on new purchases — if TrueEdge isn’t for you, email us within 14 days for a full refund, no interrogation. Refunds are processed through Gumroad. (Because it’s software with a working free tier, please try the free version first to confirm it runs on your machine.) See the Refund Policy.
What’s the difference between Free, Pro, and Lifetime?
Free gives you the real engine with daily limits and one instrument — enough to find your first pattern and confirm it runs. Pro ($299/mo, or $1,999/yr) unlocks everything, cancel anytime. Lifetime ($2,999) unlocks everything forever, including all future updates, with no recurring bill.
Can I use my own data / any market?
Yes. Import any CSV — stocks, futures, FX, crypto, any timeframe. TrueEdge also has built-in free fetchers: crypto via Binance.US or CoinGecko (no API key needed), and stocks / ETFs / FX via Alpha Vantage (grab a free key in seconds). A bundled demo dataset lets you start immediately. (Note: the global Binance.com API is unavailable to US users, so US traders use the Binance.US or CoinGecko source automatically.)
How do I cancel?
Manage or cancel your Pro membership anytime from your Gumroad receipt/account — no email, no phone call, no “retention specialist.” Your access continues to the end of the paid period.
Do I need to be a quant or coder?
No. The app is point-and-click: import data, tune a few parameters, run, read the ranked results and the verdict. The hard statistics (DSR, vault, walk-forward) run under the hood. Knowing basic trading concepts helps you interpret results, but no coding is required.
Do I need to be online, and what if Gumroad is down?
Your research runs fully offline — you only need a connection to fetch market data or to activate/renew your license. The license check caches for 72 hours, so short trips offline (a flight, a VPN, a corporate firewall) won’t lock you out. If a check can’t reach Gumroad, TrueEdge keeps working in a grace period and shows a small “License check failed — running in grace period” note only after ~48 hours. Beyond 72 hours you’ll need to reconnect once to re-verify.
Stop trusting mirages.
