Mint is developed by the owner of The Forex Investor. That interest applies to every Mint article and any future investment relationship.
What this section is for
Mint research asks how a systematic strategy behaves beyond its best-looking historical chart. The useful work is in the awkward questions: rare losses, sensitivity to settings, broker differences, costs and the path to live evidence. This section explains that process without turning internal tests into advertised investor returns.
A high win rate does not settle the risk
Frequent small gains can be outweighed by occasional large losses. Our research interest is therefore not simply whether a filter improves the win rate, but what happens to equity, exposure and the whole trading episode when it acts. An early exit that leads to repeated losses may not be an improvement.
The strategy has to travel
A rule that looks reliable on one historical price series still needs to work under other trading conditions. Broker-specific prices, spread, delayed execution and gaps can change an entry or exit. These are research questions, not claims that every possible condition has been defeated.
The evidence we would publish
- Exact EA version, frozen settings and dates.
- Clear separation of backtests, demo and real-money records.
- Equity and balance, open exposure, costs and complete account context.
- Tests selected before the evaluation period and failures reported alongside successes.
- A dated explanation of any material change.
Where this launch edition stops
No Mint return series has been imported into this website. No live performance, minimum investment, regulatory status or investor availability is asserted. Any future offer would require its own factual, legal and operational review.
