Selectivity vs Volume: Why Selection is the Ultimate Force Multiplier

In quantitative trading, the validity of a strategy is only as good as its constraints. At retailtrader.ai, we utilize an Exact Parity Simulator that treats our strategy with the same rigor as a professionally managed fund. Our latest results reveal a compelling narrative: algorithmic selection transforms raw market signals into institutional-grade alpha.

Context of Performance

• Out-of-Sample Data: These results represent live data tracked since our launch in Nov 2025, representing ~50 days. While the metrics are subject to short-term compounding due to the short time window, it demonstrates the general efficacy and the positive alpha of the methodology used.
• Normalization: We fully expect these extraordinary figures to normalize as market conditions shift.
• Live Signals: This simulation shows how the system would have performed if you followed the actual live signals delivered to our users since our launch in the real-world environment.

1. Experimental Design: The “Physics” of the Forward-Simulation Test

Most retail systems generate massive mental stress by forcing users to chase nanosecond ticks. We reject that model in favor of First Principles. Our architecture is specifically tailored for a “Fire and Forget” approach:
