QTM90800 Delay
BacktestsinconclusiveQuant replicationEEM2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the text describing the QTM90800 EEM delay train, which is a frozen turn-of-month test. The test has two main parts: the first part is about a protocol called Protocol829, which was frozen before a return inspection. From 2016 to 2020, the training was completed 58 times after a warm-up period. The test involves buying at the open of the last monthly session and selling at the open of the fourth next-month session. The second part is about an order ledger, which is a list of orders, using a system called vectorbt with a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage, which means a small cost for each trade. The test also looks at how the cash, or money, is compounded, or added up, and reconciled, or matched, to the final equity, or value, within a very small margin of 1e-5 USD on an initial cash amount of 10,000 USD. The test only looks at full entry cohorts, not partial fills, and includes drawdown, which is a measure of loss, but not all intrabar excursions, which are small price movements within a bar, or time period, on a chart. The historical adjusted ETF prices are used to approximate distributions, but the raw 10 basis point audit and 2/20 basis point sensitivity are saved but not selected. The test does not verify 15-minute or extended-hours fills, whole-share profit management, or exact time execution. The sources of the information are two websites, and all inputs, code, and results are archived in 291 parts and verified. This is an adaptation of an ETF, not an exact replication of the CRSP, and it does not have deployable approval.

QTM90800 EEM
BacktestsinconclusiveQuant replicationEEM2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found a report about QTM90800 EEM, which is an automated trading fund manager's notes. The report says the fund's protocol, called Protocol829, was frozen before a return inspection from 2026 through September 4. This inspection checked 8 completed cohorts. The fund's strategy is to buy at the close of the second-to-last monthly session and sell at the close of the third session of the next month. The fund looks at four daily returns at the turn of the month, using auction prices as proxies, without setting stop or target prices. The fund uses a long-only cash-only strategy, with a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage per fill. The fund's cash balance is reconciled within $0.00001 USD on an initial cash balance of $10,000, with non-negative cash. The fund's sample counts include full entry cohorts, not partial fills. The fund's drawdown includes open and close prices, as well as synthetic threshold marks, but not all intrabar excursions. The fund uses historical adjusted ETF prices, which approximate distributions, with a 10 basis point audit and 2/20 basis point sensitivity saved, but not selected. The report notes that 15-minute and extended-hours fills, whole-share profit management, and exact-time execution were not verified. The report also says that positive recent samples cannot override training or later gates, and there is no current calendar entry. The sources of the report are https://business.purdue.edu/faculty/mcconnell/publications/Equity-Returns-at-the-Turn-of-the-Month.pdf and https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars. All inputs, code, and results are archived in 291 parts and exact readback verified. This is an ETF adaptation, not an exact CRSP replication, and it has not been approved for deployment.

QTM90800 Test
BacktestsrejectQuant replicationEEM2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found a report about a test called QTM90800 EEM, which is a frozen turn-of-month test. The test has three parts. First, the test uses a set of rules called Protocol829, which was frozen before being inspected again. This inspection happened from 2021 to 2025 and included 59 completed cohorts. These market years were previously checked for other rules, but not in a completely independent way. The test buys on the second-to-last monthly session close and sells on the third session close of the next month. It looks at four daily returns at the turn of the month, using auction prices as substitutes, without setting stop or target prices. Second, the test uses a system called vectorbt to make orders, with a fee of 5 basis points and a slippage of 5 basis points. The cash compounds independently and reconciles the final equity within $0.00001 USD on an initial cash of $10,000, with non-negative cash. The sample counts only full entry cohorts, not partial fills. Drawdown includes open and close, and synthetic threshold marks, but not all intrabar excursions. Third, the test uses historical adjusted ETF prices, which are approximate distributions. A 10 basis point audit and 2/20 basis point sensitivity were saved but not selected. The test does not verify 15-minute or extended-hours fills, whole-share profit management, or exact time execution. Recent positive samples cannot override training or later gates, and there is no current calendar entry. The sources of the information are https://business.purdue.edu/faculty/mcconnell/publications/Equity-Returns-at-the-Turn-of-the-Month.pdf and https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars. All inputs, code, and results are archived in 291 parts and verified for exact readback. This is an adaptation for ETFs, not an exact replication of CRSP, and it does not have deployable approval.

QTM90800 Test
BacktestsinconclusiveQuant replicationEEM2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the following text: 1. A protocol called Protocol829 was stopped before it was inspected. From 2016 to 2020, the training was completed 58 times after a warm-up period. The training data was split and some parts were removed. The system buys at the close of the second to last monthly trading session and sells at the close of the third trading session of the next month. It looks at the daily returns at the turn of the month, using auction prices as a substitute, without setting a stop or target price. 2. The system uses a specific type of order called vectorbt, which only buys and sells with cash, and charges a fee of 5 basis points plus 5 basis points for slippage. The cash balance is calculated independently and must be non-negative. The system counts all the times it enters a trade, not just the partial trades. It also tracks the drawdown, including when the trade is open or closed, but not all the small changes during the trade. 3. The system uses historical prices of exchange-traded funds that have been adjusted, but did not use the raw 10 basis point audit or the 2/20 basis point sensitivity test. It did not verify if the trades were executed exactly on time or if the profits were managed correctly. Recent good results cannot override the training data or later checks, and there is no current calendar entry. The sources of the information are https://business.purdue.edu/faculty/mcconnell/publications/Equity-Returns-at-the-Turn-of-the-Month.pdf and https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars. All the inputs, code, and results are archived in 291 parts and the readback was verified exactly. This is an adaptation for exchange-traded funds, not an exact replication of the CRSP, and it has not been approved for deployment.

QTM90800 EFA Swing
BacktestsinconclusiveQuant replicationEFA2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the headline 'QTM90800 EFA swing recent: frozen turn-of-month test'. This refers to a test of a trading strategy for the EFA ETF. The strategy has two main parts. First, it buys the EFA ETF at the open of the last monthly trading session and sets a stop loss at one average true range, or ATR, below the entry price, where ATR is a measure of price volatility. The strategy also sets a target at 1.5 times the ATR above the entry price. If the price reaches 1 ATR above the entry price, half of the position is sold and the stop loss is moved to the entry price. The remaining position is sold at the open of the fourth month after the trade was entered. If the price moves up to the target and also back to the entry price, the remaining position is sold at the entry price. The strategy also uses a daily stop loss if the price moves in a way that is unclear. Second, the strategy uses a long-only cash-only approach, meaning it only buys the ETF and does not sell it short, and it only uses cash, not margin. The strategy also includes a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage, where a basis point is one hundredth of a percent. The initial cash is $10,000 and the strategy ensures that the cash balance is never negative. The strategy also includes a drawdown, which is a measure of the decline in value from a peak to a trough. The drawdown includes the decline from the open to the close of a trading day and any decline below a certain threshold, but it does not include all declines within a trading day. The strategy uses historical adjusted ETF prices, which are approximate, and saves raw 10 basis point audit and 2/20 basis point sensitivity results, but does not select them. The strategy does not verify 15-minute or extended-hours fills, whole-share profit management, or exact time execution. The strategy also does not override training or later gates with positive recent samples and does not have a current calendar entry. The sources for this strategy are https://business.purdue.edu/faculty/mcconnell/publications/Equity-Returns-at-the-Turn-of-the-Month.pdf and https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars. All inputs, code, and results are archived in 291 parts and exact readback is verified. This is an ETF adaptation, not an exact CRSP replication, and it does not have deployable approval.

QTM90800 EFA Test
BacktestsrejectQuant replicationEFA2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the headline 'QTM90800 EFA swing later: frozen turn-of-month test'. This refers to a test of a trading strategy for the ETF EFA. The test has two main parts. First, the strategy buys the ETF at the open of the last monthly session and sets a stop loss at one average true range, or ATR, below the entry price, where ATR is a measure of price volatility. The strategy also sets a target at 1.5 times the ATR above the entry price. If the price reaches 1 ATR above the entry, half of the position is sold, and the stop loss for the remaining half is moved to the break-even point. The remaining position is sold at the fourth next-month open. Second, the test uses a long-only cash-only strategy, meaning it only buys the ETF and does not short sell, and it only uses cash, not margin. The test also includes a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage, where a basis point is 0.01%, and slippage refers to the difference between the expected price and the actual price of a trade. The test results show that the strategy has a certain drawdown, which is the peak-to-trough decline in the value of the portfolio, and that the results are based on historical adjusted ETF prices. The test also includes a sensitivity analysis, which is a test of how the results change when the inputs are changed. The sources for the test include a research paper on equity returns at the turn of the month and a dataset of stock prices. The test is an adaptation of a previous strategy and is not intended for deployment.

QTM90800 EFA Test
BacktestsinconclusiveQuant replicationEFA2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the following text: 1. Protocol829 was frozen before a return inspection. From 2016 to 2020, the training completed 58 cohorts after a warm-up period, and cross-split turns were purged. The strategy is to buy at the last monthly session open, with a stop at 1 ATR, which is a measure of price volatility, and a target at 1.5 ATR. Half of the position is sold at a 1 ATR gain, and the remaining position is sold at breakeven. The position is exited at the fourth next-month open. A daily stop is applied first in case of ambiguity. If a bar hits a 1R gain, which is a measure of profit, and also the entry point, the remainder is closed conservatively at the entry point. Gap stops are applied at the open. 2. The strategy uses a long-only cash-only vectorbt order ledger, with a 5bp fee and 5bp slippage, which refers to the difference between the expected and actual price of a trade. The cash is compounded independently, and the final equity is reconciled within 1e-5 USD on an initial cash of 10000 USD, with nonnegative cash. Sample counts include full entry cohorts, not partial fills. Drawdown includes open and close, as well as synthetic threshold marks, but not all intrabar excursions, which refer to price movements within a bar. 3. Historical adjusted ETF prices are used to approximate distributions. Raw 10bp audit and 2/20bp sensitivity are saved but not selected. Neither 15-minute nor extended-hours fills, whole-share profit management, nor exact time execution are verified. Positive recent samples cannot override training or later gates, and there is no current calendar entry. The sources of this information are https://business.purdue.edu/faculty/mcconnell/publications/Equity-Returns-at-the-Turn-of-the-Month.pdf and https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars. All inputs, code, and results are archived in 291 parts, and exact readback is verified. This is an ETF adaptation, not an exact CRSP replication, and it has no deployable approval.

A news scan found the report of a frozen turn-of-month test for QTM90800 EFA. The report states that Protocol829 was frozen before a return inspection, which was completed from 2026 through September 4, with 8 completed cohorts and a recent descriptive check. The strategy is to buy at the last monthly session open and sell at the fourth next-month session open, with a timing adaptation that differs from the original close-to-close paper and does not include a stop or target. The report also mentions an explicit long-only cash-only vectorbt order ledger with a 5bp fee and 5bp slippage per fill. The final equity is reconciled within $0.00001 USD on an initial cash of $10,000, with nonnegative cash and sample counts that include full entry cohorts but not partial fills. Drawdown includes open and close, as well as synthetic threshold marks, but not all intrabar excursions. Historical adjusted ETF prices are used to approximate distributions, with a 10bp audit and 2/20bp sensitivity saved but not selected. The report notes that 15-minute and extended-hours fills, whole-share profit management, and exact-time execution were not verified. Positive recent samples cannot override training or later gates, and there is no current calendar entry. The sources cited include a paper on equity returns at the turn of the month and a stock bars dataset. All inputs, code, and results are archived in 291 parts and have been verified with exact readback. This is an ETF adaptation and not an exact CRSP replication, with no deployable approval.

A news scan found the report of a frozen turn-of-month test for QTM90800 EFA delay. The report states that Protocol829 was frozen before a return inspection, which will happen later, between 2021 and 2025. This inspection will look at 59 completed cohorts, which were previously checked for other rules. The plan is to buy at the open of the last monthly session and sell at the open of the fourth next-month session. This timing is different from the original plan, which was based on closing prices, and it does not include a stop or target. The report also mentions that it uses a long-only cash-only order ledger with a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage. The cash compounding is independent and reconciles the final equity within $0.00001 on an initial cash of $10,000, with non-negative cash. The sample counts only full entry cohorts, not partial fills. The drawdown includes open and close marks, as well as synthetic threshold marks, but not all intrabar excursions.

QTM90800 Test
BacktestsinconclusiveQuant replicationEFA2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the text describing the QTM90800 EFA parent train frozen turn-of-month test. The test has three main points. Firstly, Protocol829 was frozen before a return inspection, and from 2016 to 2020, 58 completed cohorts were trained after a warm-up period, with cross-split turns purged. The strategy is to buy at the close of the second-to-last monthly session and sell at the close of the third session of the next month. This strategy uses four daily returns at the turn of the month, with auction prices used as proxies, and there are no stop or target prices. Secondly, the test uses a long-only cash-only order ledger with a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage, which is a measure of the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual price. The test also uses independent cash compounding, which means that the cash balance is updated after each trade, and the final equity is reconciled to within 1e-5 USD on an initial cash balance of 10,000 USD, with non-negative cash. The sample counts include all full entry cohorts, not just partial fills. The drawdown, or loss, includes open and close prices and synthetic threshold marks, but not all intrabar excursions, which are price movements within a single bar or period. Thirdly, the test uses historical adjusted ETF prices, which are approximate distributions, and raw 10 basis point audit and 2/20 basis point sensitivity were saved but not selected. The test does not verify 15-minute or extended-hours fills, whole-share profit management, or exact time execution. Positive recent samples cannot override training or later gates, and there is no current calendar entry.

QTM90800 IWM Swing
BacktestsinconclusiveQuant replicationIWM2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the headline 'QTM90800 IWM swing recent: frozen turn-of-month test'. This refers to a test of a trading strategy for the IWM ETF, which is based on the Russell 2000 index. The strategy, called QTM90800, was frozen before a return inspection. From 2026 through September 4, the strategy completed 8 cohorts, which are groups of trades, and a recent check was done to see how it worked. The strategy buys the IWM ETF at the open of the last monthly trading session and sets a stop loss, which is a price at which to automatically sell, at 1 ATR, or average true range, below the buy price. The ATR is a measure of how much the price of a stock or ETF typically moves. The strategy also sets a target price at 1.5 ATR above the buy price. If the price reaches 1 ATR above the buy price, half of the position is sold, and the stop loss is moved to the break-even price. The remaining position is sold at the open of the fourth next-month trading session. The strategy also has a daily stop loss to limit losses if the price moves against the trade. If the price reaches 1R, or one times the risk, which is the amount of money at risk, and also hits the entry price, the remaining position is closed at the entry price. The strategy uses a long-only cash-only approach, which means it only buys the ETF and does not short sell, and it uses a vectorbt order ledger, which is a type of trading record. The strategy also takes into account a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage, which is the difference between the expected price and the actual price of a trade. The strategy reconciles the final equity, or the total value of the account, within $0.00001 USD on an initial cash balance of $10,000, and it only allows non-negative cash balances. The strategy includes open and close prices, as well as synthetic threshold marks, but it does not include all intrabar excursions, which are price movements within a trading bar. The strategy uses historical adjusted ETF prices, which are prices that have been adjusted for dividends and splits, and it saves raw 10 basis point audit and 2/20 basis point sensitivity results, but it does not select them. The strategy does not verify 15-minute or extended-hours fills, whole-share profit management, or exact time execution. The strategy notes that positive recent samples cannot override training or later gates, and there is no current calendar entry. The sources for the strategy include a paper on equity returns at the turn of the month and a website with stock bar data. All inputs, code, and results are archived in 291 parts and exact readback is verified. This is an ETF adaptation, not an exact CRSP replication, and it does not have deployable approval.

A news scan found the headline 'QTM90800 IWM swing later: frozen turn-of-month test'. This is a description of a trading protocol. The protocol, called Protocol829, was frozen before it was inspected again. From 2021 to 2025, 59 groups of trades, called cohorts, were completed. These market years were previously inspected for other rules. The protocol buys at the open of the last monthly session. It uses a simple average true range, or ATR, stop and target. The ATR is a measure of how much a stock's price moves. The stop is set at 1 ATR and the target is set at 1.5 ATR. Half of the position is closed when the target is reached, and the remaining position is closed at the fourth next-month open. There is also a daily stop. If a bar, or a single trading session, hits the target and also the entry point, the remainder of the position is closed at the entry point. A gap stop, which is a stop set at the open of a trading session, may also close the remainder of the position. The protocol uses a long-only cash-only order ledger, which means it only buys stocks and does not short sell. The ledger includes a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage. A basis point is a unit of measurement for interest rates and fees. The protocol also includes independent cash compounding, which means that the cash is reinvested to earn more interest. The final equity is reconciled within $0.00001 on an initial cash amount of $10,000. The protocol only includes nonnegative cash, meaning that it does not allow for debt. The sample counts only include full entry cohorts, not partial fills. The drawdown, or loss, includes open and close prices, as well as synthetic threshold marks, but not all intrabar excursions. The historical adjusted ETF prices are approximate distributions. A raw 10 basis point audit and 2/20 basis point sensitivity were saved but not selected. The protocol does not verify 15-minute or extended-hours fills, whole-share profit management, or exact time execution. Recent samples cannot override the training or later gates, and there is no current calendar entry. The sources for this protocol include a paper on equity returns at the turn of the month and a dataset of stock bars. All inputs, code, and results are archived in 291 parts and have been verified. This is an ETF adaptation, not an exact CRSP replication, and it does not have deployable approval.

QTM90800 IWM Test
BacktestsinconclusiveQuant replicationIWM2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the text of a trading fund manager's notes. The manager froze a test called Protocol829 before checking its results. From 2016 to 2020, the test completed 58 training sessions after a warm-up period. The test buys the IWM ETF at the opening price of the last monthly trading session. It uses a simple average true range, or ATR, stop loss and a target price. The ATR is a measure of how much a stock's price moves. The test sells half of the ETF when it reaches a 1 ATR profit, and the rest when it breaks even. It exits the remaining position at the fourth next-month open. The test also has daily stop-loss rules. If a trading bar hits a 1R profit, which is a measure of the profit compared to the risk, and also the entry price, the test closes the remaining position at the entry price. The test uses a long-only cash-only strategy, which means it only buys the ETF and does not short sell. The test assumes a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage, which is a measure of the difference between the expected and actual price of a trade. The test reconciles the final equity within 1e-5 USD on an initial cash amount of 10,000 USD. The test includes drawdown, which is a measure of the decline in the value of the ETF. The test uses historical adjusted ETF prices, which are approximate distributions. The test did not verify 15-minute or extended-hours fills, whole-share profit management, or exact time execution. The test sources include a Purdue University publication and a stock bars dataset. All inputs, code, and results are archived in 291 parts and verified. This is an ETF adaptation, not an exact CRSP replication, and it does not have deployable approval.

QTM90800 IWM Delay
BacktestsinconclusiveQuant replicationIWM2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the report of a frozen turn-of-month test for QTM90800 IWM delay. The report has three main points. Firstly, Protocol829 was frozen before a return inspection, which was completed from 2026 through September 4, with 8 completed cohorts and a recent descriptive check. The strategy is to buy at the last monthly session open and sell at the fourth next-month session open. This timing adaptation is different from the original close-to-close paper and does not include a stop or target. Secondly, the system uses a long-only cash-only vectorbt order ledger with a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage per fill. The cash compounding is independent and reconciles the final equity within 1e-5 USD on an initial cash of 10,000 USD, with non-negative cash. The sample counts include full entry cohorts, not partial fills, and the drawdown includes open and close, as well as synthetic threshold marks, but not all intrabar excursions. Thirdly, historical adjusted ETF prices are used to approximate distributions, with a 10 basis point audit and 2/20 basis point sensitivity saved but not selected. The report notes that 15-minute and extended-hours fills, whole-share profit management, and exact time execution have not been verified. Additionally, positive recent samples cannot override training or later gates, and there is no current calendar entry. The sources of the information are https://business.purdue.edu/faculty/mcconnell/publications/Equity-Returns-at-the-Turn-of-the-Month.pdf and https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars. All inputs, code, and results are archived in 291 parts and have been verified with exact readback. This is an ETF adaptation and not an exact CRSP replication, with no deployable approval.

QTM90800 IWM Delay
BacktestsrejectQuant replicationIWM2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the headline 'QTM90800 IWM delay later: frozen turn-of-month test'. This is a report about a trading test. The test uses a set of rules called Protocol829, which was frozen before being inspected again from 2021 to 2025. This time period includes 59 completed sets of market years that were previously checked for other rules. The test involves buying at the open of the last monthly trading session and selling at the open of the fourth trading session of the next month. The test does not use stop-loss or target prices, which is different from the original plan. The test uses a system called vectorbt to track orders, with a fee of 5 basis points and a slippage of 5 basis points. The test starts with $10,000 in cash and ensures that the cash balance never goes below zero. The test also checks for drawdown, which includes the difference between the highest and lowest prices, but does not include all price movements within a trading session. The test uses historical prices of ETFs, which are adjusted to approximate real distributions. The test saves audit and sensitivity results, but does not verify fills at specific times or profit management. Recent positive results do not override previous rules or gates. The sources of the data are from Purdue University and a website called runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev. All inputs, code, and results are archived in 291 parts and verified. This test is an adaptation of an ETF, not an exact replication of a previous study, and has not been approved for deployment.

QTM90800 IWM delay
BacktestsinconclusiveQuant replicationIWM2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the text describing the QTM90800 IWM delay train, which is a frozen turn-of-month test. The protocol, called Protocol829, was frozen before a return inspection, and from 2016 to 2020, it completed 58 training cohorts after a warm-up period, during which some data was removed. The strategy is to buy at the open of the last monthly session and sell at the open of the fourth session of the next month. This timing is different from the original research paper, which looked at closing prices, and it does not use stop-loss or target prices. The system uses a type of order called a vectorbt order ledger, which is long-only, meaning it only buys, and cash-only, meaning it does not use borrowed money, with a fee of 5 basis points, or 0.05%, plus 5 basis points of slippage, which is the difference between expected and actual prices. The cash balance is calculated independently and is always non-negative, meaning it never goes below zero, and the initial cash was $10,000. The drawdown, or loss, includes both the opening and closing prices and some synthetic, or artificial, marks, but not all price movements within a trading period. Historical prices of exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, were adjusted to approximate real distributions, and some audit and sensitivity tests were saved but not used. The system does not verify if trades were executed exactly on time or if profits were managed correctly. Recent positive results cannot override the training data or later gates, and there is no current calendar entry. The sources of the information are a research paper from Purdue University and a data set from a website. All inputs, code, and results were archived in 291 parts and verified to be exact. This is an adaptation of an ETF, not an exact replication of a specific stock market index, and it has not been approved for deployment.

QTM90800 IWM Test
BacktestsinconclusiveQuant replicationIWM2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the report of a frozen turn-of-month test for QTM90800 IWM parent. The test has three parts. First, it froze Protocol829 before a return inspection from 2026 through September 4, completing 8 cohorts. It checked the results and found that buying at the close of the second-to-last monthly session and selling at the close of the third session of the next month gave four daily returns at the turn of the month. The test used auction prices and did not set stop or target prices. Second, it used a long-only cash-only order system with a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage. The test started with $10,000 and kept track of the cash, making sure it did not go below zero. It counted all the times it entered the market and checked the drawdown, which included open and close prices and some threshold marks. Third, it used historical adjusted ETF prices, which are prices that have been changed to reflect the true value of the ETF, and saved the results of a 10 basis point audit and a 2/20 basis point sensitivity test. The test did not verify fills in extended hours, whole-share profit management, or exact time execution. The test also found that recent positive results cannot override the training and later gates, and there is no current calendar entry. The sources of the information are a Purdue University publication and a stock bars dataset. All the inputs, code, and results were archived in 291 parts and verified. This is an adaptation of an ETF, not an exact replication of the CRSP, and it has not been approved for deployment.

A news scan found the text describing the QTM90800 IWM parent train frozen turn-of-month test. The protocol, called Protocol829, was frozen before a return inspection. From 2016 to 2020, the training was completed 58 times after a warm-up period. The training involved buying at the close of the second-to-last monthly session and selling at the close of the third session of the next month. The test looked at four daily returns at the turn of the month, using auction prices as substitutes, without setting stop or target prices. The test used a long-only cash-only order system, with a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage, which is a measure of the difference between expected and actual trade prices, and basis point means one hundredth of a percent. The cash balance was calculated independently and reconciled to ensure it was accurate to within $0.00001 on an initial cash balance of $10,000, and the cash balance was never negative. The test counted all completed trades, not partial ones. The drawdown, or loss, included both open and close prices and some threshold marks, but not all price movements within a trading period. Historical adjusted prices of exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, were used to approximate real-world results. A 10 basis point audit and 2/20 basis point sensitivity test were saved but not selected. The test did not verify if trades were executed at exact times or if profits were managed on a whole-share basis. Recent positive results cannot override the training data or later tests, and there is no current calendar entry.

QTM90800 SPY swing
BacktestsinconclusiveQuant replicationSPY2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the headline 'QTM90800 SPY swing recent: frozen turn-of-month test'. This refers to a test of a trading strategy. The strategy has 1. a set of rules, called Protocol829, which were not changed before being inspected from 2026 through September 4. The rules say to buy at the open of the last monthly session, and set a stop loss at 1 average true range, or ATR, which is a measure of price volatility. The target is 1.5 ATR. Half of the position is closed when the price reaches 1 ATR, and the rest is closed at the fourth open of the next month. There is also a daily stop loss. 2. The strategy uses a long-only, cash-only approach, meaning it only buys and never sells short, and it only uses cash, not margin. It also uses a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage, which is a measure of the difference between the expected price and the actual price. The strategy reconciles the final equity within 1e-5 USD on an initial cash amount of 10,000 USD. 3. The strategy uses historical adjusted ETF prices, which are approximate, and does not include 15-minute or extended-hours fills, whole-share profit management, or exact time execution.

QTM90800 Test
BacktestsrejectQuant replicationSPY2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the headline 'QTM90800 SPY swing later: frozen turn-of-month test'. This refers to a test of a trading strategy. The strategy has two main parts. First, it freezes a protocol called Protocol829 before inspecting its performance. The test looked at 59 groups of market years from 2021 to 2025. These years were previously checked for other rules, but not in a completely independent way. The strategy buys at the open of the last monthly session and sets a stop loss at one average true range, or ATR, which is a measure of price volatility. The target is one and a half ATRs away. If the price reaches one ATR, half of the position is sold and the stop loss is moved to the entry price. The remaining position is sold at the fourth next-month open. There is also a daily stop loss that is triggered if there is ambiguity, and if a bar hits the target and also the entry price, the remainder is closed at the entry price. A gap stop, which is a stop loss triggered by a large price gap, may also close the remainder at the open. The second part of the strategy is an explicit long-only cash-only order ledger, which means it only buys and sells with cash, and does not use margin or short selling. The ledger includes a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage, which is a measure of the difference between the expected and actual price of a trade. The test also includes independent cash compounding, which means that the interest earned on the cash is added to the principal, and reconciles the final equity within 1e-5 USD on an initial cash amount of 10,000 USD. The test only includes full entry cohorts, not partial fills, and the drawdown includes open and close prices, but not all intrabar excursions, which are price movements within a bar. The historical adjusted ETF prices used in the test are approximate distributions, and the test saved but did not select a 10 basis point audit and 2/20 basis point sensitivity. The test did not verify 15-minute or extended-hours fills, whole-share profit management, or exact time execution. The test found that positive recent samples cannot override the training or later gates, and there is no current calendar entry. The sources used in the test include a paper on equity returns at the turn of the month and a dataset of stock bars. All inputs, code, and results are archived in 291 parts and exact readback verified. This is an ETF adaptation, not an exact CRSP replication, and it does not have deployable approval.

QTM90800 SPY Test
BacktestsinconclusiveQuant replicationSPY2026-09-08 00:17
A news scan found the text of a trading fund manager's notes. The manager froze a test called Protocol829 before checking its performance. From 2016 to 2020, the test completed 58 training sessions after a warm-up period. The test was designed to buy the SPY ETF on the last trading day of the month and set a stop loss at a price one average true range, or ATR, below the entry price, with a target price one and a half ATRs above the entry price. The test would sell half of the position at a price one ATR above the entry price, and then move the stop loss to the breakeven point. The remaining position would be sold at the fourth trading day of the next month. The test also included a daily stop loss to limit potential losses. The manager used a long-only cash-only trading strategy, with a 5 basis point fee and 5 basis point slippage. The test started with an initial cash balance of $10,000 and reconciled the final equity to within $0.00001. The manager noted that the test results were based on historical adjusted ETF prices and did not include all possible trading scenarios. The sources of the data used in the test were https://business.purdue.edu/faculty/mcconnell/publications/Equity-Returns-at-the-Turn-of-the-Month.pdf and https://runway.adityaperswal.workers.dev/data/stock-bars. The manager archived all inputs, code, and results in 291 parts and verified the exact readback. This test was an adaptation of an ETF strategy and not an exact replication of the CRSP methodology, and it did not have deployable approval.
