“If you want to make a potential fortune from Bitcoin’s NEXT surge –
Do EXACTLY as I say!”

Calculated using backtesting. Simulated past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

The back-testing is conducted as follows:

1. Stock Selection (this dictates which stocks are picked) - The OVI is a proprietary patented indicator revealing options traders sentiment on individual stocks. - Pick those S&P 500 stocks with positive OVI behaviour and higher correlation to the OVI indicator. - Other attributes include volume behaviour and dividends.
2. Timing (dictates how much to invest in stocks or cash) - This broadly calculates a weighted average of OVI scores across all S&P 500 stocks.
3. Portfolio Construction (dictates the individual stocks ’ weights) - This weights the selected stocks to control overall volatility.
4. Simulation - Assume an initial $ Net Asset Value - Each week (close of Tuesday), repeat process 1-3. - Assume trades are filled at open of Wednesdays with a conservative 5bps transaction cost. - Recalculate NAV every day, taking into account dividends and corporate actions, in the same way that a real fund would account for them.
5. Compare vs. SPY Total Return Index - Annualized Returns - Risk (Volatility, Max Drawdown) - Risk Adjusted Returns (derived from simulated NAV).
