What Fincanva does and does not tell you
Fincanva shows you what a strategy would have done on historical data and how its rules behave; it does not tell you what to invest in or what will happen to your money. Decisions about your money are yours, and you are responsible for them.
Does a good backtest mean the strategy will make money?
No. A backtest shows what would have happened over a past period, not what will happen next. Past performance does not determine future results, and a strong historical result is not a promise of future gains — Fincanva will not tell you whether a strategy is a good investment, because that is advice and Fincanva gives none.
