HYPOTHETICAL RESEARCH — NOT ACTUAL TRADING. NQ, ES, YM and equities are modeled inside one shared simulated account. Results may benefit from hindsight and omit or simplify liquidity, market impact, rejected and partial orders, spread changes, latency, financing, taxes, operational failures, and the effect of actual losses.

ACTIVE R&D: these figures reflect current research and will change as testing continues. AECQS Growth is highly sensitive to execution cost and concentrated in 2020. HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE — NOT ACTUAL TRADING. Headline figures are simulated backtest results for a modeled $25,000,000 account, September 4, 2012 – September 1, 2026, net of modeled costs, prepared with the benefit of hindsight. They are not actual trading, audited results, investor returns or assets under management. AECQS Growth figures assume extended execution-capacity levels that have not been verified in live trading. Hypothetical results have inherent limitations; no representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve similar results. Maximum drawdown is measured on closed-day equity. Nothing on this website is an offer or solicitation. Two frozen research configurations share one research core. AECQS Controlled: The capital-discipline configuration. Separate futures and equity capital buckets, a cost-survival strategy filter, capital-scaled futures sizing under per-order and margin limits, and a two-stage drawdown throttle governed by a hard closed-day drawdown objective. AECQS Growth: The growth configuration. The same research core with a wider risk budget, a larger share of futures profits directed to the equity momentum sleeve, and extended execution-capacity levels that step up only when live fills confirm modeled slippage. Pre-registered hypotheses and cost model; anchored walk-forward selection on prior data only; slippage, square-root market impact, margin and capacity limits; probability-of-backtest-overfitting and deflated-Sharpe testing with every trial counted; 30+ scenario stress battery; hash-sealed policies and trade ledgers. Beyond the headline figures shown, full AECQS statistics are not published. Institutional research reports for both configurations are provided privately to qualified counterparties under a non-disclosure agreement, with full hypothetical-performance disclosures. All AECQS results are historical backtest/simulated research, not audited or live investment performance, investor returns or assets under management, and nothing on this website is an offer or solicitation.
