BREAK-EVEN MATH
Wins average +1.64R vs −0.70R losses — Cortex only needs a 29.9% win rate to break even. It delivered 49.8% — a 20-point cushion.
ACCOUNT GROWTH BY CALENDAR DAY — VS EGX30 / EGX70
All lines show % growth from 1 Jan 2026 (indices from their end-2025 close), so the account and the indices are directly comparable.
WHY CORTEX BEATS THE INDEX
The index needs 100% of capital exposed all six months to earn its return; Cortex risked at most 3% per trade, was positive in 6 of 6 months, and spread its edge across 99 symbols. In the shaded correction it kept climbing while the EGX30 gave back ≈17 points.
POSITION TRADING — OFFERED TO USERS BY THEIR BROKER
Multi-day holds with defined targets and stops. Of 3,911 trades evaluated, Cortex selected just 360 (282 filled and closed) — two thirds of them winners.

All lines show % growth from 1 Jan 2026 (indices from their end-2025 close), so the account and the indices are directly comparable.
WHY CORTEX BEATS THE INDEX
1.6× the EGX30 and 1.8× the EGX70 from just 282 trades, with at most 3% of capital at risk per trade versus 100% exposure to match the index. Its worst losing stretch cost ≈1.1% of the account — and in the shaded correction it kept climbing while the index fell.
