A backtest runs a strategy against historical data — useful, but easy to flatter. A walk-forward backtest is stricter: the strategy is built on one period and then evaluated only on later data it never saw. A forward test runs in real time on live markets without real money. Live means actual money, actual execution.
Those labels matter if numbers are ever published. This public site does not quote return figures. Simulated results are not live trading, and they do not predict future performance.

Related Questions
Why are your performance numbers simulated?
Because we are pre-launch. No live customer track record exists yet, and this public site does not publish return figures to fill that gap.
02Where do the public return figures come from?
They are not on this site. We do not publish CAGR, Sharpe, drawdown, or other return figures on public pages.
03Will you publish live results after launch?
If live results are published later, they will be labelled as live and kept separate from any earlier test. Nothing on this site is that record today.
Educational content, not investment advice. Prospr is pre-launch and does not hold your keys or funds today. See our Risk Disclosure.
