Folks are going to ask for backtests...



Yes, well aware of that and we are currently looking into it. Although, we are not pretending to predict the price movement. Rather, we are reporting on what the news is saying.

We are also working on distinguishing between a news stating a fact that occurred in the past, present or future. With that, we'll be able to present what the market thinks of the future price movements.


Isn't this really just fundamental data with nice processing over it?


What's a backtest?


Backtesting is where you evaluate a model, or strategy, or system, by applying it to historical data.


I just stopped in here to ask for backtests.
