Investment thesis
Sentiment & news — economic intuition. Information is absorbed into prices with a delay that scales with dissemination friction. By quantifying news tone, fear/greed positioning, and aggregated sentiment, the strategy captures the gap between information arrival and market clearing — a behavioural premium that exists because human attention is finite.
Risk-adjusted performance — live track record
Forward-tested daily against live market data. Metrics derived from end-of-day portfolio marks; methodology documented on the Due Diligence and About pages.
| Return | Value | Risk-adjusted | Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current portfolio worth | $10946.88 | Sharpe ratio | 1.08 | |
| Total return | 9.47% | Sortino ratio | 1.16 | |
| CAGR | 17.13% | Calmar ratio | 1.79 | |
| Volatility (annualised) | 16.42% | Profit factor | 1.29 | |
| Days live | 140 | Maximum drawdown | -9.58% |
Process consistency
| Positive months | 28.6% |
| Best month | 12.67% |
| Worst month | -5.66% |
| Recovery from max drawdown | still underwater |
Market independence
Correlation and beta versus passive benchmarks, computed over the full live series.
| Benchmark | Correlation | 90-day rolling correlation | Beta |
|---|---|---|---|
| S&P 500 (SPY) | 0.73 | 0.00 | 1.19 |
| Bitcoin (BTC-USD) | 0.20 | 0.24 | 0.10 |
A correlation materially below 1.0 to both benchmarks indicates the strategy’s returns are not a simple re-expression of long equity or long crypto beta.
