Colorado Springs, Colo. – September 15, 2026 – Cypher Pros Ventures, LLC, a local developer of systematic currency‑market software, disclosed the results of an independent performance verification conducted by Alpha Performance Verification Services. The audit covered nearly two years of actual forex trading, from October 14, 2024 through August 31, 2026.
Verified performance highlights
The verifier’s report, dated September 6, 2026 and signed by CPA, CFA, CIPM Michael W. Hultzapple, confirmed that the QSL Engine Series Strategy generated an 88.40% return for the calendar year 2025. For the period January 1 through August 31, 2026, the strategy posted a 36.63% return. Both figures are net of transaction costs and gross of management fees.
Additional key metrics from the examined period include:
- Maximum equity drawdown: 15.72%
- Maximum balance drawdown: 2.89%
- Trading activity: 3,073 trades
- Win rate: 64.66%
- Profit factor: 2.21
- Annualized Sharpe ratio: 2.12 (using a 4.3% risk‑free rate)
How the QSL Engine works
The QSL Engine Series is built around ten independently calibrated subsystems, each linked to a major G10 currency pair. The algorithm evaluates momentum, volatility and other market factors, applying mean‑reversion tactics in calm, range‑bound conditions while shifting to directional entries when markets become more volatile. The system can add exposure within an active position sequence if predefined criteria remain satisfied, allowing it to capture additional upside before a trade is closed.
Risk controls and transparency
Alpha’s verification noted robust risk‑management protocols at the currency‑pair, portfolio and account levels. Position limits, correlation monitoring and an account‑level drawdown threshold are designed to automatically close open positions and pause trading for review when risk thresholds are breached. Equity drawdown calculations include open positions valued at market, giving a clearer picture of potential declines.
Company response
“Transparency means giving people the information they need to judge our results for themselves,” said Matthew Fair, President of Cypher Pros. “That is why we had our trading performance independently examined. Anyone evaluating Cypher should be able to review the record, understand how the results were calculated and draw their own conclusions.”
