Built by people who needed this to work.
Aurum exists because the available signal services were not good enough to trade with our own capital. We built the version we wanted to subscribe to.
The honest version of the founding story: every paid signal service we tried either overstated its results or stopped publishing live numbers when the strategy stopped working. The pattern is the same one Aurum is built to break. Cherry-picked screenshots, vague "win rate" claims with no R-multiple context, and a steady churn cycle of customers paying for three months, losing on the strategy, and quietly leaving.
We were tired of that. So we built a strategy on real CME data, ran the honest backtest (PF 1.73, max drawdown 17.9R, 12 of 12 positive quarters), and validated it walk-forward over four out-of-sample windows. The same ledger that we read every day is the one you read on the stats page.
We are deliberately small. There is no team of "trader gurus" to put on this page. The strategy is rule-based and the publishing pipeline is code. The two of us who built it are accountable for it.
What we believe
Tracked numbers beat adjectives. A profit factor of 1.73 over 1,015 trades says more than any sentence we could write about quality.
Losing months happen, and we say so up front. Roughly 40 percent of trading days produce no qualifying setup. The backtest had multi-week drawdowns. Customers told this in advance do not churn at the first loss.
Restraint is the product. We dropped natural gas and crude oil after the backtest showed they did not work. The hardest move in trading research is throwing out a market you wanted to keep.
