Introducing The US Edge System Portfolio
Most traders struggle because they chase tips, follow their gut, or rely on one fragile strategy. The US Edge System Portfolio changes that. With 7 complementary trading systems, you’ll have rules for every type of market, from roaring bull runs to sudden panics and everything in between.

-
Proven results: 22% compound annual return with just 12% max drawdown (historical tests)
- Transparent: Fully disclosed rules & step by step instructions (RealTest & Amibroker code also provided)
There are two major leaps that successful traders make.
1. From Discretionary to Systematic Trading: Transitioning from discretionary trading to systematic trading eliminates emotional decision-making by relying on predefined, objective rules. This shift allows traders to achieve consistency and scalability, avoiding the psychological pitfalls of subjective judgments.
2. From Single System to Portfolio of Systems: Evolving from trading a single system to a diversified portfolio of systems across strategies, markets, and timeframes smooths returns and reduces risk. This approach enables traders to profit in varying market conditions while minimizing the impact of individual system drawdowns.
The US Edge System Portfolio does BOTH of these for you!

No. You can run all systems with a free TradingView account or your broker platform. AFL code for Amibroker and RealTest code is included.
Can I automate the systems, or do I need to place trades manually?

How many systems are included in the portfolio?
7 complete systems are included in The US Edge System Portfolio (Nasdaq Snapback, Nasdaq Flow, Q Bounce, Retirement Manager, DayBreak, DayBreak VIXY, and Gold Rush).
What markets do these systems trade?
The systems in The US Edge System Portfolio trade US stocks and ETFs.
What kind of returns can I expect?
Historical backtests show a 21% compound annual return with a maximum drawdown of around 17% when the systems are equally weighted. However these are based on a historical backtest and future returns may differ and are not guaranteed.
How much time does it take to trade this portfolio?
Very little. These systems can be managed in under 30 minutes a day, and some (like Retirement Manager) only require monthly attention.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes. The portfolio is designed for traders at all levels. Step-by-step instructions are provided in plain English, and no coding experience is needed.
What account size do I need to start trading these systems?
You can start small – even a modest account can implement these systems, as position sizing and capital allocation guidance are included.
Can I trade these systems with a large amount of capital?
Yes, these systems trade highly liquid instruments. Of course you should monitor your slippage and execution accuracy to ensure you are getting good fills.
What happens if market conditions change? Will this portfolio still work?
Yes. The portfolio is diversified by strategy, market, and instrument, so provided you allocate capital across each of the strategies you will have a solid likelihood of making money in bull markets, bear markets, sideways periods, panics, and inflationary environments.
Returns are not guaranteed and your capital is at risk.
How can we see the combined performance statistics of the 7 systems?
The combined equity curve is illustrated on the page above. The CAGR of the combined strategies from 2010 – 2025 are:

- Maximum drawdown of ~17%
- MAR Ratio 1.24

- Average Win 5.2%
- Average Loss 3.7%

Is there a money-back guarantee or refund policy?
There are no refunds. All sales are final and no refunds can be given as you will have full access to the system rules and code immediately upon sale.
What is the minimum recommended account size to realistically run all 7 systems?
Given it is possible to trade fractional shares on the US Stocks and ETFs this portfolio trades, the minimum capital required is quite small. I would expect that a $10K account could manage these strategies.
How many trades per month should I expect across the whole 7-system portfolio?
This will very quite a lot over time depending on which systems are active (they are not active all the time). However on average across the entire backtest period there were an average of 19 trades per month.
Please note that there may be more ORDERS place than this as for the Nasdaq Snapback and the Daybreak system there are orders placed more frequently but they are not all filled.
How many positions might be open at the same time?
This will vary quite a lot over time depending on which systems are active (they are not active all the time). At MOST in one day there could theoretically be up to 28 positions at a time but in practice there will be much fewer than that and the portfolio will sit in cash between signals.
