Trade on a tested system.

Five TradingView indicators — three with a transparent backtest engine built in, so you can verify performance on any asset, any timeframe, before you risk a dollar. Stocks, crypto, ETFs; scalps to multi-year positions. The complete RetireMe planner is included as a bonus — so the money you make has somewhere to go.

The standard playbook · §01 · Sound familiar?

Most indicators ask you to trust them.
Ours asks you to verify.

01

The seller posts a winning chart. You can't see the losers.

02

Hyperparameters were tuned on the asset they show you. It won't work on yours.

03

There's no equity curve, no trade list, no Sharpe. Just vibes and arrows.

04

You stack five indicators that contradict each other across timeframes. You enter trades from FOMO.

What if you could test your system against years of real market data — before you risk a dollar?

Proof · §02 · Built-in backtests

Don't take our word for it. Check the data.

Three of the five indicators ship with a transparent backtest engine built in — every input exposed, every trade marked on the chart. Press play. Pick an asset, a timeframe, a date range. Run it yourself. The screenshots below are default settings on public assets — no cherry-picked window, no parameter sweep.

How the engine trades

The engine buys weakness in fixed slices of available cash and trims positions only above their cost. It never realizes a loss — it holds through drawdowns instead of stop-lossing out of them. That is why exit accuracy reads 100%: it measures the quality of the exits the engine chose to take, not the absence of risk. The risk is drawdown — it holds through it rather than hiding it.

The catalogue · §03 · Five models

5 indicators. Each one does one thing well. No overlap. No redundancy.

No overlap. No redundancy. Each indicator serves a specific role — built around a single, documented technique. Three of them backtest. Two are interpretive overlays. None of them are an “AI signal.” Below: the spec sheet.

01 · Reversal Detection

Convergence Model

Fires when three independent metrics — Bollinger Band reversal, RSI state, and MACD crossover — all confirm within a 9-bar window. Reduces false positives by waiting for agreement instead of acting on any single trigger.

02 · Mean Reversion

Deviation Model

Z-score oscillator with adjustable lookback. Surfaces statistical extremes — the price-from-mean stretches that, historically, reverse. Buy / sell dots appear at the inflection points; the oscillator itself shows you why.

Trend Model

EMA ribbon crossover with 4 tightness levels and two signal modes. Precise catches trends early at the cost of more whipsaw; offset waits for confirmation. The trade-off is yours, not hard-coded.

Field notes · §04 · Three moments that mattered

What the system showed, at the moments that mattered.

March 2020 · COVID bottom

A buy signal during the fastest crash in modern memory.

Convergence Model fired BUY while everyone else was selling. The S&P 500 doubled over the next 18 months.

October 2022 · Bear bottom

An extreme oversold print at the lowest QQQ tick of the cycle.

Deviation Model's oscillator pinned a statistically rare reading. QQQ rallied 70%+ from the October 2022 low.

2024 – 2025 · NVDA

A trend caught on the way up. And the reversal called in time.

Trend Model tracked NVDA's run and flagged the trend shift when it reversed. Trend ribbons caught the move from $110 to $210 and the reversal.

Captured the run; flagged the exit before the drawdown.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The RetireMe Investing Engine is a decision-support tool, not financial advice. All trading decisions are yours. Backtest results reflect default parameter sets on public market data and are computed by the transparent backtest engine built into each indicator. Live trading results may differ due to slippage, fees, and order-fill behavior.
