2026 YTD — Live Performance
2026 YTD data as of 28 August 2026
Full-year 2026 results, including Monte Carlo validation, will be published once the year closes on 31 December 2026.
The Principles
Disciplined by design.
Adaptive Risk Controls
Time in the market stays under 2% every year across all five backtested years (2022–2026 YTD) — the strategy is selective by design, not active for activity's sake, which keeps drawdown contained even as returns compound.
Monte Carlo Validation
1,000 randomised trade-sequence simulations assessing stability, expectancy consistency, and sequencing resilience. 100% profitable simulation rate.
Intraday Execution Logic
Systematic TSLA 15-minute breakout framework engineered for disciplined execution and quantified edge analysis.
Risk-Adjusted Efficiency
Even in 2023, Urban Alpha's most difficult year, its RINA Index — a TradeStation metric combining profit, drawdown, and time in the market — ran roughly 26 times above the widely-cited industry benchmark for a good system. By 2025 it was over 450 times higher.
Full Performance Details →Robustness Validation
1,000 simulated futures. Every one profitable.
Monte Carlo resampling stress-tests the strategy across thousands of randomised trade sequences to confirm the edge is structural, not a product of one lucky ordering.
