ESBH Monthly Summary for April 2026
Dear Investor,
After a challenging March with risk reduction and a marked correction, we saw a strong rebound in U.S. equity markets in April. The indices recovered from oversold levels and closed the month with solid gains.
Our strategy ESST achieved a return of 8.95% in April 2026. As of Jan. 1, 2026 (YTD), the cumulative return is 5.26%.
In the March Monthly Review, I explained in detail how our Exclusive Signals work. As described then, the algorithm uses three independent market indicators. Currently, all three indicators give a clear buy signal.
In addition, the algorithm includes a strict "health measurement" of each individual stock. Only when a stock meets all the criteria does it qualify for inclusion in the portfolio.
With Exclusive Signals' two other systems, not a single stock met the required health standards. This prompted a thorough review of the health module.
Last weekend and the following Monday I therefore worked intensively on optimizing this measurement. Using historical, actually realized data from our strategy, I tested and refined the parameters several times. The result is a significantly more robust version of the health measurement. This improvement applies to all three systems acted within Systems2Follow. After consulting with Simeon, I implemented the adjustments directly in the algorithms.
The ranking of stocks within the algorithm remains unchanged and has proven to be very effective over the years.
The month of May is off to a strong start. We hope this positive momentum can continue in the coming period.
