Let Me Ask You Something That Might Sting
How much money are you paying for trade alerts right now? $50 a month? $200? Maybe $997 for some "platinum" Discord tier that promises you a Lambo by Q3?
Cool. Now here is the question nobody wants to ask: Has that person ever submitted a single brokerage statement to a third party to prove they actually trade what they sell you?
Because I have. Not once - every single month for an entire year. And the results are locked in stone.
Verified +100.2% - 2025 Final Standings
The U.S. Investing Championship just published the 2025 Final Standings, and here is where I landed:
- Alfredo Holguin (Holguintrades.com): +100.2%
- Division: Enhanced Growth (allows futures and/or long options)
- Competition: United States Investing Championship ($20,000+ Accounts)
- Total Entrants: 579
That is not a screenshot from a paper trading account. That is not an edited P&L. Those numbers come from my actual brokerage statements, submitted to the championship organizers, who independently verified every single trade.
Meanwhile, SPY Returned ~16%. I Returned +100.2%.
Here is how my verified return stacks up against the major benchmarks for the full year 2025 (January 1 through December 31):
- Alfredo Holguin (Verified): +100.2%
- SPY (S&P 500 ETF): ~16%
That is more than 6x the return of the S&P 500.
And unlike the "trader" in your DMs flexing a blurry Robinhood screenshot, my results were verified by an independent third party with a decades-long track record of auditing competitive trading performance.
Now Competing in the 2026 USIC
If you thought 2025 was a one-off, think again. I am currently competing in the 2026 U.S. Investing Championship - same rules, same brokerage-statement verification, same nowhere to hide. Every trade I execute this year is being submitted and audited in real time, just like last year.
Why would someone who just doubled their money in a verified competition sign up to do it again? Because I actually trade what I teach. The same alerts you receive are the same positions I hold. If I stopped competing, that accountability disappears - and I have zero interest in joining the ranks of unverified "gurus" collecting subscription fees from the sidelines.
The Dark Truth About Unverified Trade Alerts
Here is something that should keep you up at night if you subscribe to any trading alert service:
- Most alert services never show verified brokerage statements. They show screenshots. Screenshots can be edited in 30 seconds with any image editor. That "100K month" might be a demo account.
- Many services send alerts for trades they never personally execute. They profit from subscriptions, not from trading. You lose money on the trade; they already got paid when you subscribed.
- No independent verification means no accountability. When a third party verifies your trades, you cannot hide the losses. You cannot cherry-pick the winners. Every single trade - the ugly ones, the beautiful ones - gets recorded.
I submit my brokerage statements to the U.S. Investing Championship. They verify my results. If I lose, it shows. If I win, it shows. There is nowhere to hide.
Ask yourself: Does the person you are paying for alerts do the same?
If the answer is no - or "I don't know" - that should tell you everything.
I Win, You Win. I Lose, You Lose.
Every single trade alert I send to subscribers is a trade I personally execute. I have skin in the game. If the trade goes south, I take the same hit you do - because I am in it alongside you.
That is not a marketing line. It is a verified fact, backed by brokerage statements submitted to a third-party competition with 579 entrants and decades of institutional credibility.
