Strategy
Equal capital goes into every recommendation. Recommendations are published a few hours before the open and placed as market orders, so buys and sells fill at the opening price. Positions are held for 6 to 14 days. Every position carries a 20% stop-loss: if the price touches it during the day, the position is sold there, at 80% of its entry price. Reported returns are measured from those opening prices and include every stop-loss exit.
