trust
How it works, what it measures and what it doesn't promise.
Oryon is a building, validation and execution tool. It isn't a financial adviser or a profitability machine. This page explains the engine, the costs, the limits and the decisions we make so we don't fool you with a pretty backtest.
01
A deterministic engine, not a black box
A strategy is validated JSON: indicators, conditions, direction, risk and costs. The same JSON, the same candles and the same costs produce the same result. There are no magic numbers or hidden scores.
- The entry is evaluated at the candle close and executed at that close.
- Stop and target are checked on the next candle; if there's an opening gap, the stop takes priority.
- The engine applies spread, commission and slippage on entry and exit.
- Walk-forward and sensitivity analysis split the sample to detect overfitting.
02
Backtest methodology
The backtest measures the past with explicit assumptions. It's useful for discarding bad ideas and comparing versions, not for predicting the future.
- Equity curve with costs and a buy-and-hold benchmark over the same sample.
- Separate metrics: return, drawdown, Sharpe, profit factor, win rate and expectancy.
- PSR and DSR as a vaccine against reading an isolated Sharpe as the truth.
- In the portfolio, correlation sizing only uses data available up to each entry so it doesn't look into the future.
03
Costs: the silent enemy
A backtest without costs is propaganda. Oryon includes spread, commission and slippage per side, and the execution page measures what actually happened at the broker.
- Backtest costs are estimates; the broker may charge more or execute worse.
- Execution quality compares the reference tick with the actual fill and groups by session.
- If the real curve diverges from the simulated one, a warning appears to review slippage, spread and latency.
04
Limits that actually exist
Risk isn't managed with a sentence on the landing page. These limits are implemented and applied in the engine and in execution.
- Daily loss limit per deployment or pilot: it closes and stops opening until the next day.
- Maximum simultaneous positions and gross exposure in the portfolio.
- Aggregate risk in stops and correlation penalty.
- Non-destructive global stop: it stops bots and closes only positions with Oryon's magic number.
- Plan quotas for strategies, deployments, backtests, portfolios and AI calls.
05
Warnings we don't hide
If something can go wrong, we'd rather say it before you find out with real money.
- Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. A positive backtest can be luck or overfitting.
- Market data can be missing, arrive late or be synthetic if the provider fails; the interface warns you.
- The broker may reject orders, widen spreads or execute with slippage during stressful moments.
- Trading live requires explicit permission. Always start in demo.
- Oryon doesn't hold your money or connect to your account without your local configuration.

Operational transparency
The service status, changelog and security policy are published. If something breaks, you'll see it here.
Oryon is an analysis and execution tool. It isn't financial advice, doesn't guarantee profitability and doesn't replace your judgement.
