Follow the recorded NVDA experiment
This completed genetic experiment is intentionally selected to teach the workflow. Its profitable winner missed the original intraday requirements. Published historical dates are available for reproduction; they are not an untouched test for a new reader.
Start with the actual morning rules
NVDA enters from 30 to fewer than 60 minutes after open, above SMA20, with an empty holding. A separate midday exit sells the full position. Read the complete draft before searching.
Two rules with explicit entry, exit and sizing. Reviewing this draft does not save it or submit a test.
Set the search before seeing its winner
The completed Parameter genetic search used six candidates per generation and three generations. It changed timing, comparisons, sizing and exits. It was broader than a three-value moving-average sweep.

Read the later result and the failed goal
On April 1 to June 28, the winner bought once, never sold and stayed invested across sessions. Its return was positive, but four of five requirements failed. The original morning rules also weakened on these later dates.

Start with the question you want to test
Start with the question you want to test
Write one hypothesis, a tradable universe and an explicit entry, exit and size rule. Choose a benchmark, costs and observation interval. A trend idea, a reported-company filter and a disclosure-following idea need different evidence, even when they trade the same stock.

Ask Aurora to inspect the backtest corpus first
Start with existing experiments. Compare the whole rule and its test inputs, including weaker examples, before choosing a signal. Save the dates you inspected in your research notes so you can reserve a later test.
Before creating a trading strategy, inspect the existing backtest corpus. Search for completed prior examples using these indicator types: Price, SimpleMovingAverage, Fundamental, with comparable tickers, cadence and asset class. Examine both stronger and weaker completed examples and their actual rules, dates, capital, fees, turnover and benchmark. Screen the corpus for a more specific cohort or named strategy when needed. Show the returned records and any filters you widened. Explain which ideas recur and which trades account for the results. Record the historical periods you inspected. Propose three bounded variants and a development period; keep a later unseen test outside the selection. Stop at the research plan.Choose the periods before comparing variants

| Unseen test | 2024-01-01 through 2024-12-31 | Evaluate the frozen candidate once after choosing the objective. |
| Optional final lockbox | 2025-01-01 through 2025-12-31 | Reserve an additional untouched window before all selection. |

Begin with a small set of changes that test the hypothesis. Record the exact rule, dates, starting capital, fees, benchmark, result and decision for every attempt. Use development trades to explain what changed. Once you have selected a candidate, freeze it before opening the unseen period.

Give Aurora the whole research sequence
Give Aurora the whole research sequence
First inspect comparable completed records from the backtest corpus. Show rules, dates, fees, benchmark, stronger and weaker examples, and periods already exposed. Propose three variants for my hypothesis. Agree one development period and a later unseen test before launching anything. Iterate only on development dates and keep a trial ledger. Freeze the selected configuration and objective, then test the unseen period unchanged. Reserve an optional final lockbox if requested. Prepare paper observation steps and a separate live deployment review; show the exact target and automation settings.Explore completed examples
