Returns are based on the Edge model's historical hypothetical 18.4% CAGR (1957–2026) and the S&P 500 TR's 11% CAGR over the same period. At 20 years, your $100K would grow 29× under the Edge model. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This applies a steady average return to show what compounding does over time — real returns were never smooth. Compounded trade by trade, the model's published full history turns $10,000 since October 1957 into $1,135,576,227.
