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.

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 225 signals. See the full method on the track record page.

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.
  • 225 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.
