The Daily Book
There is no single magic system. None exists. What works is duller and better: fifteen small systems, each with a small, real, tested edge, combined in one account so their good and bad days land on different days. Tap or hover any system below to see it alone. That is the honest part. Then step back and look at what they make together.

scale: log / linear
Growth of $1 · backtest, net of commissions and margin interest · Jan 2001 to Oct 2026
the whole book
one system alone, growth of $1
the hedge (declines by design)
The combined chart is growth of $1, log scale. Pick a system and the chart reframes to that system alone: the time-weighted growth of $1 of book capital, with your $1 as the dashed line. Alone, every system is modest, and the hedge finishes BELOW its dollar on purpose. Together they are the green line. That difference is the entire product. Backtest 2001-2026, survivorship-bias-free data, commissions and margin interest included. The stock-picking systems trade only point-in-time Russell 3000 members, and every fill in the test is one a sheet reader could have gotten at the published price. Four of the fifteen systems (Wide Mean Reversion, OPEC Follow-Through, Flush Gap and the Post-Election Rally) were designed in September-October 2026: their 2001-2026 record is a backtest of rules written with that history in view, and their live record starts in autumn 2026. Together they carry 27.9% of the book's backtest profit. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Live results publish to the ledger from September 8, 2026 forward.
How to use the Evening Note, in five minutes
A real aged sheet, read top to bottom: the WHAT CHANGED box, one card, the day-trade marker, the stops, the log, the basket. Every trade on it has closed.
What lands in your inbox every evening
This is not a newsletter about trading. It is the book's actual orders, prepared after every close, one card per idea, with the exit and the stop printed on the card.
Page 1: before you start. Sizing, margin, and the too-small-account answer, in plain language.
One card per idea. The chart, the entry limit, the stop as a dollar price, and how we trade it.
The whole book, honestly. Every holding with its stop, losers showing, and the trade log to reconcile against.
✓Every order for tomorrow's open, broker-ready, sized as a percent of your account
✓Every open position with a printed dollar stop, updated nightly
✓Real-time Discord alerts when a trigger, stop, or exit fires, so nobody watches screens
✓Losses shown as fully as wins. The trade log is the receipts
A recent winner. A recent loser.
Both real, both resolved, updated monthly. If the loser is bigger than the winner some month, it still goes up. That is the deal.
A recent winner
CRWD · +18.36%
Mean Reversion. Filled into the August panic at 192.82, sat underwater for days, sold into the bounce at the next open, August 28. The system never blinked.
A loser, at full size
ZTG · −82.6%
IPO Breakout, closed by its rule. Sized by risk, so the dollar damage was a fraction of a percent of the book. Same format, same honesty. Nobody else in this niche shows you this on the sales page.
