How Zeus works

One clear, dated state after each US trading day, delivered through the dashboard, email and Discord. You stay in control and use the broker you already trust.

01
Zeus turns data into one clear state

After every US close, Zeus converts the latest market data into one versioned model state—with its data date, model version and publication clock attached.

02
The state comes to you

The current member state appears in the Dashboard and is delivered by email and Discord, so you can stay informed without a daily login or opening another app.

03
You decide and execute

You stay in control, interpret the state and execute through the broker you already trust. Zeus never needs access to your brokerage account.

Hypothetical backtests, not member returns. Past performance is not predictive. Results exclude taxes and individual investor frictions; see the methodology for full assumptions.

Risk: Leveraged ETFs can lose most or all of their value. Drawdown and Calmar are shown because return without risk context is incomplete.

Frequently asked

What does Zeus actually give me?

One versioned model state after the US close, plus the timestamp, allocation context and risk evidence behind it. Current member updates are available in the dashboard and delivered by email and Discord. It is information for a manual decision, not an instruction or an automated trade.

Do I need to check the dashboard every day?

No. The dashboard remains the canonical workspace, while the same daily research update can reach members by email and Discord. Delivery does not change the model timestamp or turn the state into an automated instruction.

How does Zeus fit into my own investment process?

Zeus gives you a consistent, non-personalized research view with its model version, timestamp and risk context attached. You combine that information with your own goals and circumstances and retain every implementation decision.

Do I keep control of my brokerage account?

Yes. Zeus never connects to your broker, routes orders or executes trades. You receive the computed allocation state and decide what to do through the broker you already trust.

When do members receive the model state?

The model state is calculated after each US trading day and delivered through the dashboard, email and Discord. The historical backtest assumes manual implementation at the next US market open. The free public state is published 14 calendar days later.

How can I verify the results?

Every result is shown with its exact period, matched benchmark, drawdown and execution assumptions. The methodology and backtest archive remain available for deeper review, while the delayed track record documents forward observations separately. Hypothetical backtests are always labelled and never presented as member returns.

I'm in the EU - can I actually trade TQQQ or SPMO?

Access varies by jurisdiction, account and broker. PRIIPs/KID requirements can restrict retail access to some US-domiciled ETFs in Europe. Zeus does not recommend a substitute instrument; verify availability, product documents, costs, leverage and tax treatment with your broker and advisers.
