2026 Performance Report
If you had put $100 into every BUY signal this year
We track a hypothetical $100 position for every BUY and STRONG BUY signal, sell at a +10% target or a -15% stop loss, and mark everything else to its current price. Alongside each one we put the same $100 into SPY. Here is the real result.
Since Dec 23, 2025 · As of Aug 9, 2026 · 241 signals tracked
How this is calculated
These numbers are computed live from the same positions table that powers the track record. There is no cherry-picking and nothing is typed in by hand — the page recomputes from real data on every refresh (cached for an hour).
- Every BUY / STRONG BUY signal opens a $100 hypothetical position at the signal's entry price.
- A position closes if it hits the +10% target or the -15% stop loss; otherwise it stays open and is marked to the latest price.
- For each signal we open an equal $100 SPY position on the same date, so the comparison is apples-to-apples.
- Returns are equal-weighted across all 241 signals. See the full method on the track record page.
The numbers
Real positions, both sides
A few actual signals from the period — the best closed winners and the worst loser. We show losers on purpose.
Honest caveats
- This is a hypothetical mock portfolio. No real money is traded and results assume frictionless fills with no slippage, fees, or taxes.
- Open positions are marked to current price and can still move against us.
- 241 signals is a meaningful but still limited sample. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
- Analysis is generated with AI and can be wrong. This is education, not financial advice — see our disclaimer.
