About Positive Skew
Systematic trend research, paper trading, and a recorded portfolio workflow.
A process you can inspect
Positive Skew brings trend forecasts, volatility-based position sizing, and a recorded trading workflow into one place. You choose the markets, strategy, weights, and risk target. The app records forecasts, target positions, and execution results so you can review what happened.
Start with paper capital
Built-in paper mode simulates a portfolio without connecting a brokerage account. Backtests and the public tools let you explore assumptions and historical data. Simulations do not reproduce every trading cost, fill constraint, or market condition.
Connecting an Alpaca account is a separate choice. Paper and live brokerage modes are distinct; a simulation is never evidence that a live strategy will be profitable.
Risk stays with the investor
A volatility target is a sizing input, not a cap on losses. Prices, signals, and generated commentary can be incomplete or wrong. Losses and substantial drawdowns remain possible, including loss of invested capital.
An evolving private alpha
Access is currently invitation-based. Features and data coverage can change as the product is tested.
