Why I'm Doing This
When eToro gave me 50 partner referral slots with a signup bonus attached, I had a choice. I could blast them across social media and fill every slot in a day — the standard influencer playbook. Quick numbers, zero filtering, everyone moves on. But that's not how I think about copiers, and it's not how a systematic strategy survives long-term. I'd rather find 50 people who actually read the strategy, understand the risk, and plan to stick around.
That's why there's a short application instead of a "sign up now" button. The form takes about two minutes. It asks a few basic questions — not because I'm gatekeeping (I'm a physicist-turned-trader running a systematic portfolio on Wikifolio and eToro, not an admissions committee), but because the copiers who will last through a 30% drawdown are the ones who know what they are getting into before the drawdown starts.
If you want the full picture before you apply, the full strategy breakdown is there. No paywall, no email gate. Read it, then decide.
The Numbers
The strategy is 100% rule-based — a systematic momentum approach across three uncorrelated asset classes: US equities (Nasdaq 100), gold, and Bitcoin. Rotation happens within the equity sleeve; the three asset classes are reallocated to their base weights once a year. Every decision is algorithmic. No gut feeling, no discretionary overrides, no earnings-driven panic trades. The system runs, the system decides, I execute.
Here are the headline numbers. The first set covers the last 11 years — the period most relevant to today's market regime. The second set stretches back 31 years, including the dot-com crash and the 2008 global financial crisis. Even with those extreme bear markets in the mix, the strategy shows stellar returns. All numbers are simulated — not live returns — but built on institutional-grade data and a system that has been running live since 2025.

Why 50 Slots?
eToro allocates a fixed number of referral bonus slots to each partner on their platform. I received 50. This is not artificial scarcity or a marketing countdown timer that resets at midnight — it's a hard cap from eToro's partner program. When all 50 are claimed, the bonus offer ends. I cannot request more.
The math is simple: 50 slots, first to apply and answer correctly gets served first. The strategy page stays up regardless. The bonus doesn't.
Apply early, answer correctly, get served first.
