What you get for $6/month

Three things, one flat price — the reasons people stay past the first month.

01

The holdings, every month

Each strategy re-runs its rules and publishes one model portfolio — the exact holdings and what changed. Identical for every subscriber, never a personalised tip. You trade it yourself, in your own account.

02

Only the news that moved you

A weekly briefing on the handful of headlines that actually moved your holdings — summarised to the essentials, not a firehose to scroll. It explains what happened; it never tells you to buy or sell.

03

Your whole portfolio, one screen

One trend line for everything, every holding charted beside it, from real total-return data. Read-only — the engine never places a trade. Less tab-hopping, less noise.

Start for $2 → First month of all-access included.

Fast Momentum 6-1 (High Risk)

Global core

Holds the 5 strongest names by 6-month return (skipping the last month), refreshed monthly. The most aggressive core strategy: its simulated drawdowns are among the deepest on the core shelf (see the live stats beside this text) and its wins cluster in rebound markets. High risk, high variance.

22.7%CAGR
0.65Sharpe
-52.3%Max DD

Balanced Duo (Trend + Fast Momentum)

Global core

Half trend-following, half fast momentum, in one portfolio; each half parks in T-bills when its own rule says cash. Smoother ride than fast momentum alone.

22.7%CAGR
0.80Sharpe
-39.3%Max DD

Congressional Buys (Speculative)

US speculative

Holds the U.S. large-caps that members of Congress most recently DISCLOSED buying (equal weight, refreshed monthly, acted on only after the public filing). A transparency novelty over a large-cap pool — no edge over simply holding that pool is claimed.

22.2%CAGR
0.81Sharpe
-39.7%Max DD

Fast Momentum + Gold Sleeve

Global core

70% fast momentum stocks, 30% gold ETF, refreshed monthly; momentum's cash spells sit in T-bills. Gold is there to dampen equity drawdowns, not to promise returns. Still a high-risk portfolio.

21.8%CAGR
0.73Sharpe
-39.6%Max DD

Dual Momentum

Global core

Owns the top relative-momentum names while their own trend is positive; otherwise moves to cash. Holdings are kept until they clearly weaken (a no-trade band), which cuts trading costs without changing the effect.

21.2%CAGR
0.58Sharpe
-71.4%Max DD

Inverse-Volatility (GPW)

GPW core

Warsaw blue chips (WIG20), each weighted inversely to its recent volatility and recomputed monthly — calmer names get more, jumpier less. On this narrow, mean-reverting index low-volatility (not momentum) is the core that pays. Simulated with real Warsaw costs (20 bps) on point-in-time WIG20 membership (archived to 2025-09, held flat after). Depending on the price feed, up to 3 of 28 historical members can be unpriced early on (2020-2022), so the earliest simulated drawdowns read a touch optimistic.

19.5%CAGR
0.80Sharpe
-40.2%Max DD

Trend Following (200-day MA)

Global core

Holds names trading above their 200-day average; steps aside to cash when trends break down. Defensive by construction.

16.1%CAGR
0.80Sharpe
-31.3%Max DD

Short-Term Mean Reversion

Global core

Buys the biggest one-week losers in the universe, equally weighted, on the documented short-term reversal effect. A diversifier (it leans opposite to momentum), not an edge — it can lag buy-and-hold, especially in trending markets.

15.8%CAGR
0.52Sharpe
-45.6%Max DD

Cross-Sectional Momentum

Global core

Holds the strongest-trending names (12-month return, skipping the last month), equally weighted, refreshed monthly.

15.7%CAGR
0.50Sharpe
-67.1%Max DD

Inverse-Volatility Allocation

Global core

Spreads capital across the universe, giving more weight to lower-volatility names. Recomputed monthly.

13.2%CAGR
0.68Sharpe

Options Income (Covered-Call ETFs)

US core

An equally-weighted, monthly-refreshed basket of covered-call / option-income ETFs (JEPI, JEPQ, QYLD, XYLD, RYLD, DIVO) — options exposure through real, total-return funds rather than fabricated option backtests. Covered calls trade upside for income: expect a smoother ride but materially LESS upside than a stock index (it lags badly in strong bull markets), and a fund's headline distribution yield is not its total return. No edge over holding the underlying is claimed — an income/low-drama sleeve.

12.2%CAGR
0.78Sharpe
-17.3%Max DD

Wheel Income (Puts + Covered Calls)

US core

A 50/50, monthly-refreshed blend of the cash-secured put-write and covered-call ETF baskets — the always-on, listed expression of the options 'wheel' (sell puts, then covered calls). It sells the same short-volatility premium as its two parts, so it's a distinct portfolio, not a second edge. Expect a smoother ride with materially less upside than a stock index; a fund's headline yield is not its total return. No edge over holding the underlying is claimed.

11.0%CAGR
0.72Sharpe
-16.7%Max DD

Defined-Outcome Buffer ETFs (Spread Structures)

US core

An equally-weighted, monthly basket of defined-outcome / 'buffer' ETFs (e.g. BUFR) — the listed, backtestable cousin of a vertical option spread: a put spread buffers the downside, a short call caps the upside, over a defined period. You trade upside for a downside buffer, so expect less upside than a stock index, and the buffer/cap reset each fund's annual period. Options exposure via real total-return funds, not a fabricated backtest. No edge over the index is claimed.

10.8%CAGR
0.86Sharpe
-11.8%Max DD

Lottery Ticket (Speculative)

Global speculative

Piles into the names with the biggest recent single-day pops. High variance, for entertainment only — no edge is claimed, and history suggests these names tend to disappoint. Buckle up.

9.8%CAGR
0.36Sharpe
-46.0%Max DD

PutWrite Income (Cash-Secured Puts)

US core

An equally-weighted, monthly basket of cash-secured put-write ETFs (led by PUTW, the CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite fund) — the mirror of covered calls: hold cash, sell puts, collect the premium. By put-call parity it behaves much like the covered-call basket, so it's a DIFFERENT product, not a second edge. The premium is pay for taking the market's fall in a crash (the puts get assigned), and a fund's headline yield is not its total return. No edge over holding the index is claimed.

9.8%CAGR

Safe Real Yield

US core

Holds SHORT-TERM inflation-protected US Treasuries (VTIP) — the 'real risk-free rate' (~2.3% real, plus CPI) at low duration, so it defends purchasing power while staying much calmer than broad TIPS. Still not perfectly flat — even short TIPS dipped when real rates jumped in 2022. FX for non-USD holders; the PLN equivalent is inflation-linked COI/EDO bonds.

3.8%CAGR
0.31Sharpe
-5.5%Max DD

Safe Yield

US core

Parks 100% in short-term government T-bills (BIL, 1-3 month US Treasuries) — the risk-free rate in USD, at near-zero volatility. A safe harbour and the benchmark every other strategy must beat. Not truly risk-free once you cross currencies (FX), sell long bonds early (duration) or count inflation — match it to your own currency (PLN: EDO/ETFBCASH, EUR: XEON).

The $6 decision

$6 a month is one burger and fries. Let's compare.

Delicious for 15 minutes. After that it's just cholesterol with memories.

Option B: a month of learning

Every strategy you've unlocked, the monthly updates, your news digest — and Pip explaining Sharpe ratios like a friend would.

Same money

Only one of them compounds. (We like burgers too. Just not every month.)

Built to be trusted

Not advice — you decide

We're a publisher, not your adviser. Every update is the same for all subscribers, never personalised. You make the call and trade in your own account.

We never touch your money

The engine never places or rebalances a single trade. Holdings you add are read-only — used only to power your charts and filter your news.

Every number, shown in full

Track records are backtests on real total-return data, clearly labelled, with the methodology and its limitations published right next to the stats.

Questions, answered

Is this investment advice?

No. We publish systematic model portfolios identically to every subscriber — nothing is tailored to you. News explains what moved your holdings; it never tells you to buy or sell. You decide and trade yourself.

Are the track records real?

They're simulated backtests on real, total-return market data over point-in-time universes — labelled as backtests, with full methodology and limitations on each strategy page. Past simulated performance does not predict future results.

What do I actually get for $6/month?

All-access: the live monthly model-portfolio updates for every strategy you've unlocked, the portfolio-filtered news digest, and the side-by-side portfolio view. Unlock more strategies for $2 each — the $6 stays flat.

What does the first $2 cover?

Your first strategy unlock and your first month of all-access. After that it's $6/month. The step-up is stated up front — no surprise jump.

Do you trade for me or connect to my broker?

Never automatically. You can add holdings manually (or sync them read-only) so we can chart them and filter your news — but the engine never executes anything. Trading is always you, in your own account.

Start with one strategy for $2.

Your first month of all-access is included. Then $6/month, flat — cancel whenever it stops being worth it. No card needed just to look around.
