Howdy Friend!

I hesitated picking up the phone yesterday. It was a NY number, and I knew what that meant.

Microsoft was calling me, and they always waste my time.

I muttered something nasty under my breath, but something told me to pick up this time.

On the other end was a friendly voice who said he was calling to make sure we're completely taken care of -- no more BS.

We decided to test him. Ruud (the manager of the programming team) told him how it takes forever to add new computer cores.

The guy from MSFT said "no problem" and we were approved for another additional 1024 cores within a couple hours. We have a total of 2560 (2048 + 512) computer cores that can be whipped into automatically creating trading strategies from scratch.

That's just a few hundred under the size of the network for the Star Wars movies.

Now we're in a great position to implement the new Vertical Blinds method.

That allows for two really cool features.

First, we can split up the data into sections, and then stitch the back test results together, resulting in MUCH FASTER tests...think of it like pulling on the string on vertical blinds:

blinds

The second really cool feature of the Vertical Blinds method is that you can have multiple out of sample areas instead of just at the beginning and end of a test.

Normally a back test looks like this:

Now it can look more like this with multiple out of sample (test) areas:

Having multiple areas for in sample/out of sample allows for a much more stable comparison of in-sample vs out of sample since you're averaging the different areas...

...which ultimately means you extract more fungolas outta the markets and into your trading account!

Note to self: Pick up the phone more often.

Have a great weekend!

Trade smart,

Dan "Prince of Proof" Murphy

EARNINGS DISCLAIMER: I like to provide full transparency and not blow smoke up your behind, so listen up.100% Club members in general are seeing between 91%-100% winning months in back tests just using the Instant Start templates I created for them. These results are out-of-sample (unseen in the optimization phase), so I put a lot of weight into that fact.

I don’t yet have a statistic for the average member as far as gains are concerned. There are a lot of variables because this is not a cookie-cutter program. I do have dozens of brokerage statements on file, and the majority are looking positive.

There were a couple outliers that weren’t good because they went off track. I believe I convinced them of where they went wrong and they are back on track (too much leverage, and some over-fitting to the past). That’s my job :)

There are other factors in play as well such as: Are you actually making the trades? Account size. Is your broker any good or are they fleecing you? Are you using all the leverage available to you, or are you dialing it back like I recommend?

Simply put, I believe the reason we’re seeing the highest preliminary success rate of any program EVER is because:

a) you’re selecting from 100+ supercomputer-built strategies, and the odds of them all failing at once are extremely low.

b) the strategies take advantage of highly unusual edges that very few if any know about.

c) Our Meta ML technology is completely unique in the trading world. Very few understand that all strategies have cycles, and that there are opportune times to trade them. This allows you to treat trading more like a business rather than a hobby.

d) The daily instructions are brain-dead simple to follow, and can be accomplished in just a few minutes.
