Canonical comparison

The numbers, side by side.

Same window. Same return and risk lenses. Models are separated from passive benchmarks so the trade-offs stay visible.

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.

01 · Process

How Zeus works

One dated state after each US trading day, delivered where you already work. No broker connection, no automated execution and no black-box performance claim without the evidence beside it.

01
The model closes the noise

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 stay in control

No broker connection and no auto-trading. You interpret the state, decide for yourself and execute where you already invest.

03 · Choose your depth

Alpha is the complete research experience.

Choose the risk level—not a different evidence standard. Alpha includes Beta; both expose the model version, execution assumptions and risk record behind every published result.

Q

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.

Is this investment advice?

Zeus is designed as non-personalized research, not individualized portfolio advice. Whether a published state is legally classified as an investment recommendation is not something Zeus assumes: public states remain withheld until counsel-reviewed operator and producer disclosures are complete. You retain every implementation decision.

Do you execute trades or connect to my broker?

Never. There is no order routing, no broker API, no automated execution. The dashboard shows a computed allocation state; acting on it is entirely manual and entirely yours.

What do Delay-0, Delay-1 and the 14-day delay mean?

Delay-0 models a reaction at the next market open and is the public headline case. Delay-1 asks whether performance and drawdown remain credible if someone reacts or rebalances one trading session later. Both are hypothetical execution tests. The separate 14-calendar-day delay controls when a free forward signal is published.

Is the proof a live track record?

No. The Proof Lab contains simulated or hypothetical backtests and labels them as such. The separate Forward Journal starts at day zero, is never backfilled with a backtest, and releases observations only after the publication delay.

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.

Can I pay or start a trial now?

Creating a free account never takes payment, starts a trial or opts you into product-marketing email. Checkout appears separately only after the forward-journal, evidence, legal and production-billing gates pass; it must show the exact amount, currency, cadence, tax treatment and cancellation path before purchase. Zeus has no trial offer.
