Who publishes this, and how
This page describes who produces HedgeYourOwn's model portfolios, how they're built, what the author is paid for, and the personal-trading policy that applies. It covers every published model-portfolio update, identically for every subscriber.
1. Who produces this
Publisher and author of the methodology: Antoni Zieliński, contact: contact@hedgeyourown.com. Antoni Zieliński acts as the publisher of market information and the author of the strategy methodology — not an investment adviser — not supervised by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF), and not providing investment advice or portfolio management within the meaning of MiFID II. No one else edits or approves the published allocations.
2. How the model portfolio is built
Each strategy is a public, pre-defined set of rules (e.g. "12-month momentum, top 5, equal weight"). Every month the same rules are re-run on new market data and the result — the identical allocation for every subscriber — is published. The author never overrides the output based on the news or a personal market view: no discretion. News on the site only explains what happened — it never overrides the strategy's rules or changes an allocation.
3. Remuneration and conflicts of interest
The only source of income is subscriber payments (the $2/9 zł unlock + $6/29 zł monthly fee described on the pricing page). Antoni Zieliński receives no broker commissions, has no affiliate agreements with brokers or with issuers of any instrument that appears in a model portfolio, and is not paid based on how much anyone trades or which broker they use. The "Broker Cash" guide (/cash) is a free, independent guide with no affiliate links or commissions of any kind.
4. Personal-trading policy
Antoni Zieliński follows a written personal trading policy: no trades in any instrument held in a given model portfolio from 2 days before to 2 days after that portfolio's update is published (a "T-2/T+2 embargo"), and no trades against the direction of a published allocation (for example, shorting a position the portfolio has just bought). The author keeps a personal trading log and, on request from a lawyer or a supervisory authority, will disclose positions above a defined materiality threshold.

This is published market information, not investment advice and not a personal recommendation. Allocations are generated systematically and are the same for every subscriber. You decide and trade in your own account.
