The Record
What the process looked like when real capital rules were applied.
This page shows the same ranked decision process under position sizing, cash limits, and drawdown. The question is not just whether the picks looked good. It is how the process behaved once capital had to be committed.
At A Glance
Window
2015 to 2025
Tested across an 11-year period with daily ranked entries.
Sizing
7% operating rule
Each funded trade uses 7% of whatever the portfolio is worth at that moment.
Reality
Cash pressure included
Not every valid trade could be funded when capital was busy.
What This Record Covers
The same process, tested under real position limits.
Over this window, the system ranked a large daily opportunity set, narrowed it into a short list, and then tracked how those names resolved once the sell logic played out. That turns the record into something more useful than a list of good calls.
Position size rose when portfolio value rose, tightened when portfolio value fell, and some valid entries were skipped when capital was already committed.
Why It Matters
Good picks are not enough.
Good picks matter more when sizing, crowding, and drawdown are left in.
The point is a record that can still be inspected once those limits are real.
The 7% Operating Setting
Every funded trade used 7% of current portfolio value.Each funded trade used 7% of the portfolio at that moment. The first three lines show how that rule performed across the ranked daily top 10. The last line adds the S&P 500 as a same-window benchmark. more info 7% allocation: Each funded trade is sized as 7% of current portfolio value, not 7% of the original starting capital. Yearly growth: Annualized compound portfolio growth over the full test window. Worst drawdown: Deepest portfolio decline from a previous high. Funded trades: Trades that actually received capital; some valid trades were skipped because cash was already committed elsewhere.

Structure Passive index
Skipped trades were part of the test. Under the 7% operating rule, some otherwise valid entries could not be funded because capital was already committed to open positions. For context, the S&P 500 benchmark is about 13.5% annualized across the same 2015 to 2025 window using total returns with dividends reinvested.
What To Take From It
The record is useful because the limits stay visible.
It does not promise that the same path repeats. It does show how the process behaved once capital had to be sized, committed, and defended.
What Changes Between The Rows
The sizing rule stays the same. What changes is how widely the same 7% rule is spread across the ranked list.
