Returns compound year-over-year. Each year's gains become next year's starting capital. The book runs long alts in bull regimes, short alts in bear regimes, and a BTC overlay on idle cash.

The full backtest, bad years included

2020-2026 is the complete backtest window. Returns compound year-over-year. Every year is shown, nothing is excluded.

Monthly Returns

Backtested monthly returns using our default systematic approach. Your results depend on which setups you trade and your own strategy.

Sizing note: options are backtested at a fixed $500 per trade rather than a percentage of equity, so position size never grows with the account. As the balance compounds, the same trade result becomes a smaller share of it - the later years read lower for that reason, not because the setups got worse. The stock and crypto books above scale with equity, so their yearly figures are not directly comparable to these.
