Real dollars. Real fills. In public.
Every trade, the reasoning, and the receipt.
An AI portfolio manager proposes buys for a real brokerage account. A risk check runs, the Founder approves or declines each buy, and only then are orders placed. Every fill, every mistake is published — losses on the same schedule as wins.
Latest decision
Operating state: not yet confirmed here. This card shows a live figure once the published decision record loads in your browser; the absence of that figure here is not evidence that no decision has been published.
Every figure on this page carries an as-of date once real; nothing above is invented.

The record
The rules the record runs on
- Approval rule
- The first candidate with enough evidence and no verified blocker is approved. An approval is a committee decision; an order is placed only if separate risk and execution checks also pass and the Founder approves the buy.
- Account
- One real taxable brokerage account. No backtests, no paper figures on public pages.
- Publication
- Votes and fills publish after the fact, never live, under the same rule whether the day produced a keep, a drop, a gain or a loss. Each published decision carries the time it was decided.
- Canary window
- Closed. Monday 28 September – Friday 2 October 2026. The first trade was exactly $1.00. Later trades in that window were randomized between $1.00 and $25.00 under a then $200 cumulative budget. That budget is not current sizing policy.
The log
The most recent votes
Approved and dropped, gains and losses, at the same weight and on the same schedule. The Decision Brief is on /decisions; legacy vote pages remain on/log.
No committee vote pages are in this build.
This excerpt lists the committee vote pages included when this site was built. An empty list here is not evidence that no vote has been published.
The process
How a trade happens here
- 01
Composite ranks
A scanner ranks candidates from SEC-filing signals — not a hot-tip watchlist — into a composite the committee reviews one name at a time.
- 02
Committee drops
The first candidate with enough evidence and no verified blocker is approved; a verified blocker drops that candidate and the day moves to the next one. An approval still has to clear separate risk and execution checks.
- 03
Checks, then any order
An approval is a committee decision, not an order. An order is placed in a real taxable brokerage account only if separate risk and execution checks also pass and the Founder approves the buy. A resulting fill publishes on a one-day (T+1) delay.
The method
Arithmetic first, judgment only to subtract
The ranking is arithmetic.
Quality, profitability, momentum, value and investment. Four are read from SEC XBRL filings; momentum is the price return from adjusted month-end closes. The same five factors, the same way, every week — so the composite can be checked rather than trusted. Seemethodology for the universe filters and the position-size ladder.
Late enough to be useless to a front-runner. Current enough to check.
Each committee decision and each fill is recorded internally as it happens. What publishes here does so after the fact, under one rule applied the same way every time, so it can't be tuned to flatter a good week or hide a bad one.

Plain answers
FAQ
- Is this financial advice?
- No. Diers Capital publishes a record of one account's votes and trades for education, not personalized advice.
- Is the money real?
- Yes — a real taxable brokerage account. Its fills publish on a one-day (T+1) delay.
- What happens when the committee is wrong?
- The loss publishes on the log on the same schedule a gain would.
- Can I copy the trades?
- You can read every committee decision and every fill; nothing here is investment advice to buy or sell.
- Who is this not for?
- Day traders, options gamblers, and hot-pick seekers. There are no signals, no entry alerts, and nothing here rewards trading against the log.
- What does membership add?
- The logged-in member area of the account — positions, decision history, and cross-account context. See membership.
- Can I cancel?
- Yes, anytime, from the billing page.
