Capabilities

Every layer of your strategy, in one place

From a diversified ETF core to crypto, alternatives, and a defined-risk options sleeve — every analytical layer in a single research environment.

Multi-Asset Portfolio Allocation

Model a 5-layer risk pyramid spanning equities, leveraged ETFs, crypto, alternatives, and an All Weather core — with live SPX/VIX data and drawdown tracking.

Defined-Risk Options Sleeve

Model FO and Trade setups with Black-Scholes P&L analysis, inspect payoff curves, compare strategy modes, and understand the assumptions before committing real capital.

Paper Campaign Workflow

Open simulated campaigns in Research Mode and track open positions separately from the optional local broker connector used on your own machine.

AltSal is self-directed research and education software. It does not provide personalized investment advice, manage assets, or place live broker orders in cloud mode. All analysis is for informational purposes only.
FAQ

Questions before you sign in

A quick scan of the app's scope, limitations, and workflows.

Is AltSal investment advice?

No. AltSal is self-directed research software. It explains allocation, strategy modeling, backtests, and paper tracking, but it does not recommend securities, trades, allocations, or account actions.

What is the fastest way to get started?

Read the Framework page, set your profile, enter your portfolio, run Backtest Lab, then track a paper campaign before considering any live workflow.

What do the portfolio layers mean?

The pyramid divides capital into risk layers: an options sleeve, smaller satellite positions, leveraged or growth exposure based on profile, core index exposure, and stabilizers such as broad market, bonds, cash-like, commodity, or gold exposure.

What is the difference between FO and Trade?

FO models the four-leg double diagonal workflow. Trade builds shorter-duration preset structures such as iron condor, iron butterfly, and double calendar setups for the DT tab.

What does stand-aside mean?

Stand-aside means the model detected conditions that historically deserve extra caution, such as crisis volatility, a strong downtrend with high VIX, or several trend red flags at once.

Why do backtests differ from real trading results?

AltSal model backtests use historical closes and Black-Scholes estimates. They do not replay historical option chains, slippage, commissions, taxes, liquidity, assignment risk, or real execution quality.
