Blackforge Systems / The crew roster

Meet the Crews

AI crews that do the whole job: research, build, check, report. You run them in Claude Code, or we run them for you.

On the table now: The Backtest Crew. Four agents, one honest verdict.

A real job, replayed.

Tori Trades called her trendline bounce “a literal cheat code.” This is what happened when the Backtest Crew took the job on October 11, 2026. Every line below comes from the crew’s actual report.

  1. you> /backtest youtu.be/TuXOgkcYw9E “Once you master this strategy, trading becomes EASY”
  2. The Chin> Watched it. Pulling the rules, with timestamps.
  3. The Chin> Entry: price comes back to an unbroken up trend line and bounces. (10:41, 11:47)
  4. The Chin> Stop: other side of the line, trailed under each new swing low. Exit: a close through the line. No target. (12:09, 14:14, 14:29)
  5. The Chin> She never says how close “near the line” is. Default: within 0.2 × ATR(14). Flagged. Confirm before we test.
  6. you> Confirmed.
  7. Forge Jung> Coding it. Crude oil, SPY, Bitcoin, Ethereum. 15m to daily. Long and short: 28 tests.
  8. Forge Jung> Costs on: 0.05% a side on crypto, 0.02% on oil and SPY. Her setup before costs: +15.4R. After costs: −5.7R.
  9. The Don> Code checked against the rules, line by line. 8 cheat checks: no future data, honest fills, costs everywhere. All pass.
  10. The Don> Random entries, same stops and exits: her setup beat 57.5% of them. That’s a coin flip.
  11. The Don> Ethereum 1h long shows +725R. Take out the best 3 trades: −8.5R. I don’t sign that off as an edge.
  12. Uncle Junior> Writing it straight.
  13. Uncle Junior> VERDICT: NO EDGE IN ANY OF 28 TESTS. Her own setup, crude oil 15m: −5.7R over 101 trades after costs.
  14. Uncle Junior> REPORT.md and charts delivered. ✓

Every job gets a second set of eyes.

A crew is a team with clear jobs. One agent researches, one builds, one checks, and one writes it up.

The checker can say no.

That’s the honest part. A result doesn’t become good just because an AI produced it.

“This loses money” is a useful answer.

A backtest is there to test the story, not sell it.
