The Experiment

This was not a backtest.
This was not paper trading.
This was my IRA.

For two years, ANNIE made the buy and sell decisions in my IRA and executed the trades automatically. I did not cherry-pick signals, skip trades I disliked, or step in when I thought I knew better. My job was basically to stay out of the way.

Broker-Verified Record

I Was Being Watched

Kinfo was connected to my Charles Schwab IRA. Its broker-verified record imports trading activity daily from Schwab, not manual entry. According to Kinfo, verified records cannot have trades added, removed, or edited to manipulate the result.

Evidence

Don't Take My Word for It.

The trades are public. The statistics are reproducible. Check them yourself.

Trade statistics use Schwab realized closed lots. Daily risk statistics use the supplied account balances on the fixed NYSE session calendar and cash-flow adjustments from the transaction ledger. Benchmark metrics are omitted because these files do not contain a fixed daily benchmark series.
