The Journey to Outperform the Market
How three brothers used math, machines, and relentless curiosity to build a fully automated investment strategy that aims to outperform the market—consistently.
Beating the market is the Holy Grail of investing.
Most chase it. Few find it. Even fewer find a way to automate it.
For the three brothers behind LymanWealth, the pursuit of market outperformance began in 2008—not just to grow wealth, but to build a system that could think, adapt, and execute better than a human ever could. From coding their first algorithm in 2012, to launching LymanFX in 2018, to founding LymanWealth in 2021, the journey was anything but simple.
What followed was a decade-long odyssey through volatility, mathematics, backtesting, and breakthroughs—culminating in a fully automated investing strategy they now call Quantelligent.
And it wasn’t discovered overnight. It was built. Backed by data. Shaped by setbacks. And optimized by design.
The Early Years: A Quest Begins
In 2008, the Lyman’s began experimenting in the stock market. At first, it was just a shared curiosity. But that curiosity quickly turned into a disciplined pursuit of something bigger: a system that could beat the market reliably, without requiring constant attention. By 2012, they were coding their first algorithm to process stock market data and generate smarter, faster insights.
Over the next several years, their passion deepened. In 2018, they launched LymanFX to invest in foreign exchange markets, applying similar principles of automation and precision. But it wasn’t until 2021 that their long-held vision took final form with the birth of LymanWealth and the launch of their flagship investing strategy: Quantelligent™.
Cracking the Code: Discovering Quantelligent
Every innovation starts with a problem. For the Lymans, it was this:
Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is historically the most reliable investing method, but it lacks an exit plan.
Value Averaging (VA), on the other hand, allows for taking profits when markets outperform, but demands more capital when markets underperform—which can be unsustainable.
Then came the breakthrough. On a plane ride to California, the brothers had an idea: why not combine DCA and VA? Use DCA to invest consistently over time, and use VA as a trigger to identify and extract profits during market spikes.
Backtesting this hybrid approach on historical data revealed promising results.
When applied to leveraged ETFs—which are more volatile and therefore offer more opportunities for profit—the back-tested returns were stunning.
The Quantelligent™ strategy was born.
The Engine Behind the Curtain: How Quantelligent Works
At its core, Quantelligent follows four simple but powerful steps:
Use Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) to invest regularly on a set schedule.
Apply Value Averaging (VA) to identify profitable market spikes and sell excess gains.
Set an overall growth target (like 30%). When that target is reached, liquidate everything and start over.
Reinvest the captured profits to accelerate compounding growth.
Defining Success: What Market Outperformance Means
"Market outperformance" isn’t just about making more money. It’s about alpha—returns above the benchmark, adjusted for risk. For each ETF invested in, performance must be measured against its underlying index, adjusted for risk, and the alpha calculated.
An alpha of 0 means you’re keeping pace. Any alpha above 0 means you’ve outperformed the market.
Quantelligent aims for an alpha of 20+.
Where We Go from Here
LymanWealth has made the entire Quantelligent strategy public. Not only because we believe in transparency, but because we want people to understand and see the genius behind a strategy that never sells at a loss and harvests the hidden profits in market volatility.
