The approach

Strategy overview

Equal-weight ensemble of 11 momentum and defensive-allocation models using several lookback horizons.

Understand the risk

Principal risks

Momentum models can react after a sharp reversal and can suffer repeated losses in choppy markets. Model agreement is not independent evidence that an allocation will succeed.

Questions, answered

A few things worth knowing.

Are a backtest and a live return the same thing?
No. A backtest models what a set of rules would have done on historical data. Live results reflect actual accounts, orders, fills and costs. Portfolio Studio produces hypothetical results. Neither backtests nor live historical results guarantee a future return.
Will every subscriber get the same result?
Subscribers to the same strategy receive the same current standardized targets. Account outcomes can still differ because of allocations, account size, existing holdings, broker permissions, rounding, market hours, risk settings, connectivity and execution prices.
Can I lose money?
Yes. Trading involves risk, including loss of principal. Algorithmic execution, diversified strategies, historical results and risk controls do not remove market risk or guarantee an outcome. Margin and leverage can increase losses and financing costs.
