Model portfolios tracked in the open. Four are run by our AI Auto Pilots; two follow fixed rules with no AI at all. Every portfolio says which, and whether its record is live or a backtest.

Hunts for quality businesses trading at a discount, but won’t buy a falling knife. Price action has to confirm the idea before it buys, and it trims when valuations stretch or momentum fades.
A shorter term trader, usually holding one to ten days. It reads options flow, dark pool activity and volatility, trades options with a capped loss, and leans in or pulls back with the market.
Buys the market’s strongest stocks and early movers on expanding volume, rides winners with trailing stops and cuts losers quickly. Holds run a few days to a few weeks.
Trades around earnings reports using options with a capped loss, so every trade has a known worst case. With no good setups, it holds cash rather than forcing trades.
Holds the stocks members of Congress bought in the last 60 days, weighted by how much they spent, so the biggest purchases count the most. Rebalanced every week by fixed rules.
Owns a fund of small US companies only overnight, bought at the close and sold at the next open, and sits in cash during downtrends. Sizes up on one well documented night each month.
A backtest shows how fixed rules would have done on past data. A live record starts the day a portfolio launched and is never rewritten. We show them separately, and we publish what did not work.
Charts mark where a backtest ends and live tracking begins.
Returns are after trading costs and compared with the S&P 500 over the same days.
We tested about 60 ways to follow congress trades. Only one held up, and only narrowly.
Night Shift was one of the few ideas to survive more than 20 tests, and its page lists where it fell short.
