About this strategy

Edge Alpha Strategy
The Edge Alpha Strategy utilizes a proprietary indicator to determine market trends and align the portfolio with prevailing momentum. The strategy meticulously scans ETFs to uncover high-performing momentum leaders, seamlessly rotating positions as superior opportunities arise.

This portfolio consists exclusively of highly liquid ETFs, incorporating a mix of 1x, 2x, and 3x leveraged ETFs for enhanced flexibility and performance. Designed for simplicity and efficiency, the portfolio trades a maximum of six ETFs at a time, making it well-suited for traders with smaller allocations.
Edge Alpha prioritizes precision, liquidity, and adaptability to deliver a competitive edge in dynamic markets.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
