Quantitative Capital Research

Institutional quant discipline. Now yours.

Four rules-based strategies — leveraged equities, long-duration Treasuries and gold — in four equal 25% buckets. Every evening after the US close you get the exact action and allocation for each one, so your account follows the model. Backtested over 41+ years.

Backtest, not live results. UPRO and UGL histories are simulated (3× S&P 500 and 2× gold, daily-reset, with financing costs); TQQQ and TMF use real ETF prices once they exist. Past performance does not predict future returns. Leveraged ETFs can lose most of their value.

A vote, not a prediction

Each strategy combines 7–10 independent signals into a vote. The vote decides whether you are in or out and how much to hold: 100%, 75%, 50% or cash of that strategy's bucket. Four strategies, four equal 25% buckets. Your capital never leaves your broker.

Every drawdown shown

The backtest runs through 1987, 2000, 2008, 2018, 2020 and 2022 and shows the drawdowns of the leveraged strategies, not just the good years. Every evening's signal is computed from that day's close and traded at the next open.

Exact orders before each session

Every evening you get the action for each strategy — ticker, order type, buy-stop price, target allocation — before the next session opens, flagged ACTION when anything changed. No black box, no discretionary override.

$67/month vs. 2-and-20

The kind of rules-based allocation hedge funds charge management and performance fees for, fully disclosed, for a flat monthly price. No lock-up period.

What quant funds build at scale. Now accessible to you.

Every decision is encoded before markets open. Every signal is computed from yesterday's close. The model runs identically for every subscriber — the same rules, the same trigger price, the same allocation. You trade what the model trades.

How it works

From rules in code to your evening brief.

A fixed pipeline, built so that what the backtest assumes is exactly what you can do: every subscriber gets the same signal, the same price and the same allocation.

01

Rules written in code

Entry triggers, exit rules, the vote-to-allocation table and the quarterly rebalance are written in code before the model runs live. Nothing is added or changed discretionarily after deployment.

02

Backtested with real costs

41+ years of history with slippage, commissions and the financing cost of leverage. TQQQ and TMF use real ETF prices once they exist; UPRO (3× S&P 500) and UGL (2× gold) are simulated from the index with daily-reset leverage.

03

Signal fixed after the close

Yesterday's closing prices feed the model. Tomorrow's action — ticker, order type, buy-stop price and allocation — is determined before the market opens and is identical for every subscriber.

04

In your inbox and dashboard

Current position, allocation, pending order and what changed since the last email — in your dashboard and in one email every evening after the US close.

How you trade it

Every evening: one email, one number per strategy.

After the US close the models recompute and send you one email. For each of the four strategies it states the action — enter, exit or hold — and the allocation: how much of that strategy's bucket should be invested (100%, 75%, 50% or 0%). You trade the difference at the next open. No charts, no intraday decisions, no forecasts.

  1. 01

    Split your capital into four buckets

    25% of your account to each strategy: TQQQ Momentum, UPRO Momentum, Monetary Hedge TMF, Gold Momentum UGL. You do this once, at the start.

  2. 02

    Read the evening email

    Around 22:30 CET. Each strategy shows its action, its allocation and, when entering, the exact buy-stop price. Anything that changed since the last email is flagged ACTION at the top; if nothing changed, the subject line says so.

  3. 03

    Trade the difference at the next open

    ENTER → BUY STOP at the published price, valid 3 sessions, sized to the allocation shown. EXIT → sell everything market-on-open. NEW ALLOCATION → buy or sell the difference at the open. HOLD → nothing.

  4. 04

    Re-equalize each quarter

    First trading day of Jan / Apr / Jul / Oct, bring the four buckets back to 25% each. Set a calendar reminder: this step is not emailed.

A worked example. A $100,000 account is four buckets of $25,000. Tonight's email says TQQQ 75%, UPRO 100%, TMF 50%, Gold 0%. You hold $18,750 of TQQQ, $25,000 of UPRO, $12,500 of TMF and nothing in UGL; the other $43,750 stays in cash or T-bills. Next week TQQQ moves to 100%: you buy about $6,250 more at the open. That is the whole job.

How often you will trade. Over the last three years of the backtest: an allocation change roughly once a week per strategy — about three a week across all four, mostly small moves between 100%, 75% and 50% — and a full entry or exit about once a year per strategy (Gold about twice). While a position was open the strategies averaged roughly 65–85% invested. Each change is one order at the open; most days the email says “no changes”.

What you need to operate. A margin brokerage account that supports BUY STOP and MARKET-ON-OPEN orders (Interactive Brokers is the reference; most US retail brokers work), with access to the four US-listed ETFs: TQQQ, UPRO, TMF, UGL. About $5,000 minimum so each bucket can be sized cleanly; no upper limit. The model assumes the uninvested part earns short-term interest rates. About five minutes each weekday evening.
