Product Strategy and Rules
How Billy May Alpha Portfolios Work
Billy May Alpha Portfolios rely on trend following, momentum screens, and relative strength metrics to tilt exposure toward strong markets while trimming positions showing early weakness. Position sizing adjusts to volatility so that risk per trade remains consistent across varying market conditions.

Generating Smoother Cash Flow with Income Builder
Billy May Income Builder targets steady cash flow by blending high quality dividend payers with systematic covered call writing. The approach emphasizes quality over yield extremes, seeking to enhance income while preserving capital over full market cycles.
