Trade the trend.
Follow the rules.

Trendkept doesn't predict markets — nobody can. It makes you follow your own written trend-following rules: backtested honestly, sized by risk, with the stop-loss enforced by your broker instead of your nerves.

The five rules (they're free — the whole point is following them)

1. Trade only a confirmed uptrend. Price above the 50- and 200-day averages, averages aligned, higher highs and higher lows. Otherwise: stay out. No exceptions.
2. Enter without chasing. A pullback that resumes, or a breakout — never a move that's already run far.
3. Set the stop the moment you enter. Just below the last swing low. Decided before the trade, not during the drawdown.
4. Size by risk, not by gut. If the stop is hit, lose no more than 1–2% of the account. Ever.
5. Let winners run; cut the break. Trail the stop up under each higher low. Exit completely when the trend breaks.

See it work — honestly

Every Trendkept backtest is causal: a signal at bar i uses only data up to bar i. Backtests that peek at the future look brilliant and trade terribly; Trendkept refuses to peek, and says so in the results.

$ python -m trendkept.cli backtest --symbol AAPL --account 1000 --risk 0.02

Starting equity  : 1,000.00
Ending equity    : 1,252.00
Total return     : +25.20%
Max drawdown     : -2.28%
Expectancy       : +7.13R per trade

Real bundled example. Idealized fills — an optimistic ceiling, not a promise. Past and backtested performance do not predict future results.
