This is a hypothetical backtest for illustrative purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Built for scrutiny
The regulated 1%
of finance content.
Most backtest tools optimize for speed. We optimize for the thing that matters when a compliance officer is reading over your shoulder.
01
Methodology that survives scrutiny
Every receipt includes the full strategy specification, execution assumptions, data vintage, and engine version. Reproducible by anyone with the same inputs. No black boxes.
02
Records retention satisfies SEC 204-2
Immutable artifact storage from day one. Every spec, result, and PDF archived with full metadata and cryptographic hash. Audit trail built in, not bolted on.
03
Hypothetical-performance disclosures by default
Every output ships with the required disclaimers, methodology notes, and "not actually traded" notice. You can't accidentally publish a non-compliant backtest.
Made for
Three desks,
one research tool.
Galley is built for the small number of people who publish investment research and need it to be defensible.
How it works
Type. Confirm. Receipt.
Three steps from hypothesis to audit-grade artifact. No code. No spreadsheets. No ambiguity.
Type your hypothesis
Plain English. We parse it into a precise specification and show you exactly what we understood.
"Buy SPY when it crosses above the 200-day moving average. Sell when it crosses below. Use next-day open for execution."
Confirm the spec
We restate your strategy in structured form. You confirm the interpretation before anything runs. No guessing.
Signal: close > SMA(200)
Execute: next-day open
Universe: SPY
Dividends: reinvested
