Keybot the Quant Algorithm Provides Stunning +58% Return in 2020 Beating the Top-Performing Quants on Wall Street

Keybot the Quant logs another phenomenal year the actual trading gains +58% in 2020. The quant program which creates the triggers that cause the robot to flip short or long gains +29% in 2020. The S&P 500 Index (SPX), which is the US stock market, and the benchmark, is up +16% in 2020 in the middle of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The power of Federal Reserve money-printing (monetary stimulus) and Congressional easy-money programs (fiscal stimulus) gooses the stock market into the stratosphere. The wealthy that are America's elite class, that own large stock portfolios, dance with glee.

The quant program is rezeroed on January 1 each year to keep the monthly and yearly data in sync. The ongoing trade has not changed. Keybot begins the year on the short side in SDS at 12.39 with the SPX at 3756 the all-time record closing high.
