Slow SIMULATED
the control again, but trading every 4 weeks instead of weekly — isolates what the trading itself costs · opened 2026-10-01
Every line starts at 0%, so they can be compared directly. Book A is the control — a clever book that does not finish above it has not earned its extra trading. The dashed line is the index all six are trying to beat. These are simulated results; no money is invested.
| Part | Of starting capital |
|---|---|
| Holdings, unrealised | -1.04% |
| Realised on sales | +0.00% |
| Cost of trading | -0.40% |
| Total | -1.44% |
15 holdings up, 10 down. Best 3 contributed +1.49%; without them the book would be -2.94%. That second figure is the one that matters: a book ahead only because of its best few names has shown that a few names went up, not that the screen works. These parts are checked against the book’s actual change in value on every build, and the difference is published above rather than absorbed.

Bought at is the average price paid — a position topped up later carries a blended cost, not the price of its first share. Room is how far the price can fall before the stop fires, measured from its highest close since purchase, so it shrinks on the way down and never widens on the way up. This book runs no stop, so those two columns are empty by design rather than for want of data. All of it is simulated.
This book’s own trades, newest first, each with the friction it paid. Every one of these is hypothetical.
