Methodology Note

1985–2010 uses synthetic TQQQ/SQQQ data modeled as a 3× daily-rebalanced leveraged exposure to the Nasdaq-100 index, including ETF expense ratios and daily compounding effects.

2010–2025 uses actual historical TQQQ/SQQQ prices.

Backtests assume 0.05% slippage per trade and commission-free execution (Alpaca).

Backtests are generated using the same signal engine that produces live algorithm signals.

All performance figures are derived from backtested simulations and do not represent actual trading results. Backtests are based on historical data and assumptions that may not reflect real market conditions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
