120 READY TESTS

Already tested. Just find your ticker.

Four popular timing rules, run on the thirty markets people actually hold — stocks, index funds and cryptocurrencies — over ten years of real prices, each shown next to simply buying and holding. Open the one that matches yours and see which came out ahead: the rule, or simply holding.

Hold the asset while it trades above its 200-day average; sit in cash while it trades below. The most widely repeated timing rule in markets.

We test one strategy people swear by and publish whatever the data says — including when it says the strategy doesn't work. Free, no pitch.

Vorrik Research publishes tests of publicly discussed trading strategies using public market data. Where a test was also run with our own money, the article says so. It is factual reporting of what happened in historical and past live tests — not investment advice, and not a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Past results never predict future results.
