Engine accuracy audit

Gold Engine Backtrack Test

Did the AI engine get it right? For the start of every past month we replay the analysis the engine would have produced and compare the predicted direction against what gold spot actually did over each timeframe.

How we score this
1

For each month-start we run the AI5 engine in historical mode — every indicator, support/resistance level and macro overlay uses only data that was available on that date.

2

At the horizon end (28 days for Swing, 90 for Intermediate, 365 for Long) we check the actual spot close and bucket the move: a bullish call is correct if gold rose by more than the noise threshold (2% / 4% / 8%), bearish if it fell by that much, neutral otherwise.

3

Horizons that haven't elapsed yet are marked pending — they count toward neither correct nor incorrect.
