How to read these numbers
- Monthly return is the change in each system's equity from the last trading day of the prior month to the last trading day of August.
- A call's result is the change in system equity from the entry date to the exit date, the same measure used on the public scorecard. For systems that hold several symbols at once, it reflects the whole portfolio over that window, not a single share price.
- Free subscribers see positions with a one-week delay. Every trade in this recap is more than a week old.
- Past performance is not indicative of future results. This is not investment advice.
