Max Bot Trader vs S&P 500
Started with $50,000. The dashed line is the same money in the S&P 500.
Simulated results: no real trades, commissions, taxes or slippage, and every trade gets that day's exact closing price. Past or simulated performance does not predict future results. Disclaimer
How it trades
Fixed rules. Nobody steps in by hand.
- Buys
- Started fully invested on day one: every stock on the list that passed, best-rated first, until the cash ran out. Since then, after fresh reports that pass: newest earnings score 80 or higher, valuation grade B or better, up 25%+ over 1 year and 125%+ over 5 years.
- How much
- By rating: better-rated stocks get more, from about $100 up to $1,000 per stock.
- Sells
- When the price closes 30% below its highest close since the buy (the hook); or a new earnings report scores below 75; or its valuation grade falls to D or worse.
- Half-sale
- Sells half once a stock is up 100% since the buy; the rest keeps running.
- Limits
- No more than 25% of the portfolio in one sector. One position per stock.
- Prices
- Every buy and sell happens at that day's closing price.
Where the scores and grades come from: how it works.
