Crest scans ~3,000 US stocks every month and hands you the 15 strongest, steadiest climbers to buy. No screens to stare at. No guessing. Just a rules-based list, refreshed monthly.
Backtested 1998–2026 · survivorship-free · Experimental · Study purposes only
Log in on the last day of any month and the work is already done: which 15 stocks to own, precisely how much of each, what to buy, what to sell, and the reason behind every pick — with a live chart on each. No spreadsheets, no math, no second-guessing. Just open it, place ~6 trades, and close the laptop.
Each name is tagged against last month's list, so you know in one glance what to trade — and what to leave alone.
Rank, momentum, volatility and a plain-English “why it's here” — so you're never blindly trusting a black box.
The full 27-year survivorship-free backtest and year-by-year diary live right inside — the honest record, red years and all.

It's like managing a fantasy team — you only re-pick at month's end.
27 years (1998–2026) on survivorship-free data — including companies that later went bankrupt, and real crashes like 2008 and 2022. Nothing hidden: the red years too. $700 became $31,497, but the ride was bumpy — that honest reality is the whole point.

Most "amazing" strategies are just memorized history. We were paranoid about it — and threw away three ideas that turned out to be illusions.

52 automatic tests re-run every check — some are deliberate trick questions (a fake strategy that secretly peeks at the future) to prove our cheat-detector actually catches cheating. It does. It even caught a bug in our own math once.
Momentum isn't a one-month trick. The flat, boring stretches are part of the strategy — the engine only proves itself across a full cycle. So Crest comes one way: annual.
Crest is an experimental research signal for study only — not brokerage, execution, or financial advice. You place your own trades.
