SIMTEK observes the market, selects high-quality breakout setups, vets liquidity, sizes against hard risk caps, executes, manages the trade, and reconciles against the broker — without manual clicking, and all to an auditable record.
Entries get chased. Profits are taken too early or too late. Losses are rationalized. And there is rarely a clean audit trail to learn from. Allocating capital to a process like that is uninvestable — no matter how good the underlying idea.
SIMTEK solves the execution and discipline problem. The same setup is treated the same way every time, every trade must clear a stack of risk and liquidity gates before a dollar is committed, and performance is measured from the broker ledger — not from a spreadsheet of intentions.
Once enabled, the engine runs one loop continuously through the session. Its autonomy is bounded by preconfigured risk controls, liquidity filters, position limits, and broker reconciliation. A human stays in control at the policy and account level — enable and disable, capital, risk caps, the tradeable universe, and a kill-switch.
Dashed loop: the engine reconciles against the broker, records the result, and repeats continuously through the next market cycle.
Many systematic pitches rest on a single signal. SIMTEK's edge is the whole loop — signal → options selection → risk check → execution → trade management → broker reconciliation → measurement — built and running in live, real-money conditions across multiple segregated accounts, with a full audit trail. The differentiator is operational completeness and discipline, not a clever indicator.
Since the current risk guardrails went live on April 17, 2026, the managed book has closed every trade net-positive, with no realized drawdown over that window. Reported on live broker results only.
Avg holding period ~5.7d · positive per-trade expectancy · live, real money, across three segregated accounts.
The live record is early and the sample is small (n = 8 since the current guardrails). It is promising, not conclusive — win rate and profit factor will move as the sample grows. The full track record, per-account ledger, and tear sheet are available to qualified investors on request.
The operating model is deliberately simple: capital stays in your brokerage account, performance is reconciled from the broker ledger, and every engine decision is preserved in the audit trail.
Initial pilots run for roughly one to two quarters, with economics discussed only after fit, eligibility, and risk policy are aligned.
SIMTEK is currently structured around separately managed pilot accounts in the investor's own name. Share a few details and I'll follow up personally with the full memorandum, live ledger, and pilot terms.
No custody, no commingling. Capital stays in your own brokerage account. This is a request for information — not an offer or solicitation.
