STOIC AI STRATEGY

Superforecaster — adaptive long/short crypto strategy

Superforecaster runs two books at once: long positions in assets that have fallen far enough to revert, and short positions in assets whose weakness has persisted. Which book carries the portfolio shifts with the market rather than being fixed in advance.

Investment process

How Superforecaster picks what to hold and what to sell

The strategy is built on two complementary approaches that profit under different market conditions. Exact parameters stay undisclosed; what follows is how each side of the book is put together.

  • Long book

    Buying what has been oversold

    The long side selects assets that have temporarily become oversold. After a sharp drop, an asset has the potential to revert toward its mean value, and that gap between the current price and the mean is the entry the strategy is looking for.

  • Short book

    Selling the worst performers

    The short side follows a worst-performers principle. Assets that have been underperforming the market are shorted on the assumption that their weakness persists or deepens, which turns the continuation of a negative trend into a source of return.

  • Execution

    Fully automated execution

    Both books are traded automatically, with no manual entries and no configuration on the client side. Positions are opened, sized and closed by the system, and the portfolio is monitored around the clock with market updates delivered in the app.

  • Return sources

    Where the return comes from

    Return comes from how individual assets perform relative to one another, not from the crypto market rising. The USDT version is measured in dollars, while the BTC version keeps constant exposure to Bitcoin's price and adds the strategy's gains on top of it, which is the version Bitcoin holders ask for.

Risk framework

How Superforecaster manages risk

An adaptive long/short book carries concentration risk and volatility risk. Both are capped by the system rather than by judgement, so a single asset or a sudden change in conditions cannot dominate the outcome.

  • Position limits

    Limits on every position

    The maximum position in any single asset is 3% of the portfolio. Diversification across many independent positions is what keeps one bad call from setting the result for the month.

  • Volatility control

    Sizing that follows volatility

    An automated risk control system adjusts position sizes dynamically as market volatility changes. Exposure comes down as conditions get rougher, which limits losses promptly and keeps the portfolio stable through sudden moves rather than after them.

  • Drawdowns

    Drawdown characteristics

    The largest peak-to-trough decline on the daily equity curve is 16.71% in the USDT version and 17.19% in the BTC version. Around 56% of days close positive, and monthly gains average 3.94% in USDT.

  • Governance

    Governance and oversight

    The firm-wide Investment Committee — the two Co-CEOs, the CFO, the CTO, the Head of Quantitative Research and the Head of Engineering — meets weekly to review performance and risk metrics, with day-to-day monitoring running 24/7.

FAQ

Superforecaster questions, answered

  • Superforecaster is an automated long/short crypto strategy built on two complementary approaches. It takes long positions in assets that have temporarily become oversold and are likely to revert toward their mean, and short positions in assets that have been underperforming the market and are likely to keep doing so. Running both at once lets the portfolio earn under different market conditions.
  • Superforecaster is not available in the app's self-service plans. Access is arranged individually through the Stoic AI wealth management desk: leave a work email on this page and a member of the team will follow up with the materials and the terms.
  • They run the same logic and differ in what your balance is measured in. The USDT version is denominated in dollars, so its result is the strategy's return on its own. The BTC version keeps constant exposure to Bitcoin's price and adds the strategy's gains on top of it, which suits holders who want to stay in BTC while their position works.
  • Superforecaster has been live since April 2025. Results shown for periods before that date come from backtests, and the performance chart on this page marks the boundary between the two so the live record can be read on its own.
  • The minimum is $5,000. Capacity beyond that is almost unlimited, and you can top up or withdraw at any time.
  • Leverage from 0.5x to 3x is available on request, depending on your risk preference. It is set when access is arranged rather than toggled in the app, and the figures published on this page are unleveraged.
  • An automated risk control system adjusts position sizes dynamically based on current market volatility, cutting exposure as conditions get rougher. On top of that, the maximum position in any single asset is capped at 3% of the portfolio, so the result is spread across many independent positions rather than concentrated in a few.
  • The short book is what the strategy has for a falling market: assets that keep underperforming are sold rather than avoided. That does not make a losing month impossible, and the monthly table on this page shows the ones that occurred. What it does mean is that a general decline in prices is not by itself the reason a month goes negative.
  • Meta is not one strategy but a composite: more than 200 sub-strategies run inside it at the same time, and their long and short positions are sized to offset each other so that market direction drops out. Superforecaster is one of those sub-strategies, made available on its own. Taken separately it delivers its own full result instead of a share in a blended portfolio, which means a higher return and a wider drawdown, without the smoothing the other sub-strategies provide inside Meta. Meta is available in the app, while access to Superforecaster is arranged through the desk.
  • Your funds stay in your own exchange account. Stoic connects through API keys that permit trading but not withdrawals, so no one at Stoic can move your money out — only you can deposit or withdraw.
  • No. The strategy is fully automated: positions are opened, sized and closed by the system with no setup on your side. The app gives you 24/7 visibility into the portfolio along with market updates.
  • Every figure here is taken from the monthly Superforecaster fact sheet, and the chart is compounded from the same monthly returns the table below it shows. The fact sheet is republished each month, and this page is updated in the same batch.
