  • Results (shown above) are based on a "fixed" amount of capital (i.e., non compounded). Yearly results calculated by the arithmetic computation method are derived by the summation of individual investment returns and dividing the total by the number of investment periods.

  • Our performance returns are independently verified by Alpha Performance Verification Services (2000-2023), TimerTrac, and constantly monitored by hundreds of members. The Alpha verification used End-of-Year values as opposed to Signal-to-Signal.
