// WHAT YOU GET

Markets don't reward activity. They reward timing.

Every trading day before the open, you receive a single SPX signal. That's the product. The discipline is the edge.

Signal → Buy / Hold / Sell

One daily signal

A clear, unambiguous call on the S&P 500, delivered pre-market. No interpretation required.

Model → rules-based

Probabilities, not emotions

Signals come from a macro model that measures where price sits against fair value. No gut calls. No narratives. Just the odds, on your side.

Risk → scaled exposure

Protect capital. Capture opportunity.

The model scales from all cash to fully invested only as probabilities improve. Risk is sized, never assumed.

// PERFORMANCE

This isn't theory. It's results.

Backtested +465% from 1999–2012. Live since 2012. Every trade, every signal, every result — published. The data speaks for itself.

// THE MODEL

Exposure scales with probability.

Long-only, maximum 200%. The model holds cash when odds are poor and presses only when the S&P trades at an extreme discount to macro fair value.

0%
All cash. Nothing to do in low-probability conditions.
80–110%
Initial long as probabilities improve.
140–170%
Scaled up as conditions align.
200%
Max exposure at extreme discount to fair value.
