Risk Disclosure

Performance

All performance figures published on this website are backtested results derived from historical TSLA 15-minute data with $30,000 starting capital, and apply specifically to the $30,000 (Pro) configuration. For the $15,000 (Lite) and $75,000 (Elite) configurations, performance scales proportionally with the $30,000 (Pro) configuration — position size is scaled, not the strategy rules. Backtested results do not guarantee future performance. Live trading results will differ — sometimes materially — due to slippage, commissions, execution differences, and changing market conditions. As Urban Alpha's live track record develops, live results will be published alongside backtested figures and clearly labelled.

What a Difficult Period Looks Like

2022 was the most challenging year in the strategy's validated history. TSLA fell approximately 65% during the year. Urban Alpha remained profitable, returning 34% ($10,204), but experienced a maximum peak-to-trough decline in account equity of $7,818 — the largest in the five-year validated dataset. Subscribers should treat this as the realistic worst-case drawdown scenario on a $30,000 account.

The $75,000 (Elite) configuration's Monte Carlo simulations for 2023 show a wider worst-case range than the $30,000 (Pro) or $15,000 (Lite) configurations (simulated worst-case outcome of approximately -$44,410 at Elite, vs. approximately $8,420 at Pro/Lite) — plausibly a real effect of larger position size rather than statistical noise. Elite subscribers should size their expectations accordingly.

Concentration Risk

Urban Alpha trades a single instrument — Tesla Inc. (TSLA). The strategy's selective entry criteria, volatility-adaptive filters, and end-of-session exit reduce but do not eliminate concentration risk. The primary residual risk is that TSLA's trading characteristics change materially over time — due to changes in institutional participation, index composition, or other structural factors — in ways that affect the strategy's historical edge.
