“Made money” is the share of ideas that ended in profit — it is not a return. The line below is what one pot of money would have done spread evenly across whichever ideas were open each day — the real calendar, not ideas stacked end to end. It mixes all idea-lengths together — see the full breakdown.

Sharpe and Sortino need a longer live record than we have, so we don't print them yet — in 17 years of testing the 3-month strategy scored 1.11 against the S&P 500's 0.92. Hit rate alone is misleading — a 42% hit rate with big winners beats a 60% hit rate with big losers. These are the numbers that say which one this is. Live sample is short, so read them as early signal, not proof.

The honest numbers

Validated on 17 years of unseen data (2009-2025): the 3-month strategy returned more than double the S&P 500 at a similar worst-case dip — it is our strongest. The shorter 10-day and 1-month strategies roughly matched the market once risk is counted, and we say so plainly. Our live results so far show 41% of finished ideas in profit, below the tested 58%. We found the reason: we were publishing an exit rule (a stop-loss) that was never part of what we tested — it closed 58% of ideas early, often just before they recovered. Corrected on 2 September 2026. Every idea from before that date stays on the record, unchanged. The 3-month strategy's first results land now — and they carry that old exit rule. Every 3-month idea resolving before December was published before the fix, so those numbers are not a clean read on the strategy. The first six show it: five were closed early by the old rule and averaged −4.4%; the same six held to their full term averaged +0.3%. We publish them as they stand, and the first uncontaminated 3-month results arrive in December. We publish every result, wins and losses. Educational information, not financial advice.
