Annualised return = period return × 252 / trading days, where the period return is time-weighted since the strategy went live (deposits and withdrawals excluded). Alpha = strategy return minus SPY's return over the same period. Figures are computed live from each strategy's AlpaTrade live run (account equity and SPY at the latest session close; tap or hover a figure for the as-of date); "—" means no live track record yet. Past performance over a short period says little about the future. Strategies marked Backtest are hypothetical: their figures come from a daily-bar backtest (annualised = simple return × 252 / trading days, cash only, slippage included; alpha = that minus SPY's annualised return over the same days), they were never traded live and are listed after live strategies. Backtests use today's S&P 500 members, which flatters momentum and relative-strength rules in particular (survivorship bias). Not investment advice. Latest data: session close 9 Oct 2026.
