A point-in-time backtest of a William O'Neil momentum strategy where jev picks the entries and decides the exits, paired against the same rules with no model — and honest enough to report the model as indistinguishable from them.

Jev Can Trade Stocks — a point-in-time O'Neil momentum backtest where TypeSafe's System One model picks the entries and judges the exits
Repo stats from the GitHub API, cached Oct 2026.
A point-in-time backtest of a William O'Neil momentum strategy, 2022-01-03 to 2026-09-18, $100,000, long only, benchmarked against the S&P 500. Jev — TypeSafe's System One model — picks the entries and decides the exits. Deterministic code owns the data, the signals, the stops and the fills, and never delegates risk.

Watch out
The repository's own conclusion is that the model does not beat the mechanical rules by any margin the experiment can resolve, and the paired standard deviation exceeds either arm's own, so the model adds variance rather than cancelling it. The top-line return is one draw and the README explicitly asks you not to cite it as an edge. 49 of 635 index members have no price data because the provider does not serve delisted tickers; that gap cannot be closed with the available providers, so it is measured rather than removed. A run makes around 790 model decisions and costs roughly $0.12, with rebuilding the assessment artifact costing about $1.35. Copy reviewed against the repository README on 2026-10-04, not from running it.
