Portfolio construction

The portfolio thesis

Data-Driven Probabilities.
Independent Edges.

Capstone model portfolios are developed to combine uncorrelated trading algorithms to reduce pairwise correlations, maximize risk adjusted returns, reduce volatility in the equity curve, and maximize average trading profits to absorb the impact of transaction costs in noisy markets.

01

Diversification by design

Multi-strategy portfolios implementing different entry and exit methodologies to capture opportunities in dynamic market regimes.

02

Probability over prediction

Strategies with different probabilities and diverse expectations taking long and short trades. No discretionary forecasts. 100% systematic.

03

Quantify and manage risk

Portfolio-level equity and drawdown analysis provide a specific evaluation of historical behavior before committing capital.

04

Short Term Trading

Limiting overnight exposure with day trade portfolios. Trading liquid markets to dynamically adjust long-short positions.

How it works

Research license install automate

A clear path from portfolio research to running fully automated trading system portfolios in your own brokerage account.

  1. Review the research

    Create a free account, confirm your email, and review the equity curve, drawdown, methodology, and risk disclosures.

  2. Make your portfolio selection

    Choose a model portfolio. The lineup runs from focused sets to the larger ensembles.

  3. Install the software on your platform

    Receive platform-ready code for TradeStation, MultiCharts, or NinjaTrader or choose a hands free approach and let a Registered Auto Trade Broker manage it for you.

  4. Automate in your account

    Turn on the software automation in your platform or request your Auto Trade Broker to begin. Capstone does not hold custody of funds or manage accounts.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions for Traders

Do you manage my account or hold my funds?

No. Capstone licenses trading system software and research. You run the systems in your own brokerage account. We do not manage accounts, execute trades for customers, or take custody of capital.

Are the performance numbers real trading results?

Statistics on this page are hypothetical or simulated based on historical data. They have limitations, do not represent actual trading, and are not a guarantee of future performance. Subscribers can use discretion on when to start, stop, and position sizing. Optimization of each individual strategy is also possible. Making adjustments beyond the research can generate very different results.

Always review the full product disclosures.

Why a portfolio of systems instead of one?

A portfolio can be updated when new research changes the system count. Portfolios are developed to maximize the return over drawdown, minimize pairwise correlations between strategies by using a diverse set of entries and exits, and to give the best out-of-sample opportunity based on the history of the strategies in that portfolio. Maximizing average trade profit while balancing volatility in the equity curve is also a key consideration.

Can I start with a smaller portfolio?

Yes. Capstone offers fractional portfolios including the 2, 3, 7, and 11 System Portfolio NQ models using the same research, plus the 21 System Portfolio NQ 2026 lineup. The Flagship portfolio offers the best diversification relative to risk adjusted returns and average trade profit. The fractional portfolios are developed to offer lower capital requirements and trade some of the top single strategy combinations in a portfolio.

What platforms are supported?

Flagship portfolio licenses are available for TradeStation, MultiCharts, and NinjaTrader. Auto Trade for subscribers who would like strategies or portfolios fully automated are available through a registered broker.
