The correction that produced this page

Earlier published figures (up to ~$600k/yr) were inflated by a data-collection error: the original download selected strikes around each day's CLOSING price, which silently removed the biggest losing days from every fly backtest. The error was caught by cross-validating against a second, independent data vendor — the two vendors agree on prices to 0.98–1.00 correlation, and the full forensic account, vendor tallies and re-certification are published in the Clean-Data Audit. This page is built exclusively from the corrected data. A second, independent implementation of the same rules (the audit's) lands ~15% higher; the number shown here is the more conservative build.

The core seven

Admission rule (owner's): full-record profit at least 3× the strategy's own worst drawdown, on honest data. Each name links to its complete rule and trade list.

Seven further strategies passed the original court but sit below the 3:1 profit-to-drawdown rule on clean data (source: Clean-Data Audit, Alpaca v2, Jun 2024 – Sep 2026). They are excluded from the book and listed here because hiding them would be the same sin as the data bug.

Scaling to a $240k/yr target

Two independent implementations of these rules exist; this page publishes the more conservative one. Scaling this build 1.6× yields ≈ $198,912/yr; the research build (≈15% higher throughout) reaches ≈ $228,749/yr at the same size, with max drawdown ≈ −$55–80k and worst month ≈ −$26–34k across the two builds. Bootstrap of the research build: median year $236k, one year in four below $183k, one in twenty below $103k, probability of a losing year ≈ 0.2%. A delta- hedged variant (SPX-verified, ETF replication 3 of 4 cells) roughly halves the drawdown for the same profit and is queued for a paper pilot before adoption.

Standing cautions, on the record: sizing is flat — the richness throttle failed on clean data and is not used; Meridian's 12:00 entry is time-critical (5 minutes late ≈ −15%); January lost in 3 of the last 4 years (half-size is a live option); 2026 is running at roughly half the 2024–25 pace, and whether that is a calm year or edge decay is the top open question the live paper record exists to answer.

Radiant Research — honest-data record (May 2022 – Sep 2026), generated 2026-10-08 from blotter_DB.csv. All results are backtested on Databento OPRA NBBO quotes at MID prices (fill-quality sensitivity above), net of $1.35/contract-side + $0.25/structure; zero-bid wings at half the ask. They are not live results, not a solicitation, and not investment advice. Options involve substantial risk of loss.
