Strategy Vault

Browse the public playbooks. Fork one into My Alpha when it fits.

The Vault is the public layer of Alpha Factory's strategy system: a place to see how Menno structures different styles of investing, and what guardrails actually get copied into My Alpha when a member forks one.

What a fork does

  • Sets real guardrails like max position size and stablecoin target.
  • Adds the strategy's rule bundle into your My Alpha rules manager.
  • Stores the chosen Vault strategy on your My Alpha profile for later reference.

Menno's public strategies

Four founder playbooks, each with a different operating style.

Best for newer or lower-stress investors who want a durable system before chasing upside.

Sleep-at-Night Core

For people who want to stay in the market without letting crypto run their life.

Weekly check-in. Daily action only if Risk Wave or your allocation breaks a guardrail.
Works best in uncertain or choppy regimes when protecting decision quality matters more than squeezing every last percent.

A defensive core strategy built around a small number of high-conviction positions, a meaningful stablecoin buffer, and strict caps so one mistake cannot dominate the portfolio.

Allocation model

Core majors55%

BTC and ETH do the heavy lifting.

Selected alts15%

Only a few high-conviction positions.

Stablecoins30%

Dry powder and emotional safety.

Forked guardrails

Max positions

5

Max single

20%

Cluster cap

45%

Stable target

30%

New positions require replacement discipline.

Rule bundle

  • Never let one position exceed 20% of the total portfolio.
  • Keep 30% stablecoins unless a planned buy window is active.
  • Do not add a new alt without removing something else first.
  • If the portfolio becomes noisy, simplify before sizing up.

Risk WaveDCA PlannerMy Alpha guardrailsProof

Best for intermediate investors who want some altcoin exposure but need hard caps to avoid style drift.

Balanced Barbell

A core-and-opportunity setup for investors who want upside without losing structure.

Weekly rebalance and position review, with tactical adds only when a thesis and timing both line up.
Useful in early trend recovery phases when there is opportunity, but the market is still dangerous enough to punish overconfidence.

This splits the portfolio between a boring core and a smaller tactical bucket for asymmetric ideas. The point is to keep most capital disciplined while still allowing for selective aggression.

Allocation model

Core majors45%

Anchor the portfolio in BTC and ETH.

Tactical alt sleeve35%

Higher-upside ideas with harder rules.

Stablecoins20%

Reserve for fear and replacements.

New positions require replacement discipline.

Rule bundle

  • No tactical position can be larger than the core majors.
  • When adding risk, trim something first or fund it from the stable bucket.
  • If correlated alts exceed 55% combined, cut back before adding anything new.
  • Review winners first when you need to fund a new idea.

Altcoin RulesRisk WaveStrategy BuilderMy Alpha rules

Best for patient long-term accumulators who want clear buy conditions instead of constant action.

Extreme Fear Accumulator

Built for investors who want a calm plan when everyone else is panicking.

Low action most weeks. Higher activity only when market fear and valuation signals align.
Designed for bear markets, post-washout ranges, and any regime where fear creates better entries than excitement.

A systematic accumulator that saves emotional energy for the only moments that matter: deep fear, forced selling, and obvious dislocations. It does less most weeks so it can act decisively when the market gives permission.

Allocation model

Accumulation core52%

BTC, ETH, and the highest-conviction compounders.

Selective alt adds30%

Only when Altcoin Rules and timing agree.

Stablecoins18%

Reserved for fear spikes and reloads.

Forked guardrails

Max single

Cluster cap

Stable target

18%

New positions do not force immediate replacement by default.

Rule bundle

  • Most buys happen in planned fear windows, not during green breakout excitement.
  • If a coin fails its thesis or quality screen, stop averaging and reassess.
  • Cash is not dead money if it protects your ability to buy when others cannot.
  • When in doubt, add smaller and slower instead of forcing conviction.

Fear and GreedRisk WaveDCA SimulatorProof

Best for experienced investors who can handle more volatility but want a hard operating system around it.

Altcoin Rules Operator

For active altcoin investors who need discipline more than more ideas.

Active weekly review with strict ranking, replacement, and profit-defense habits.
Works when alt rotation is alive, but only if the investor can keep trimming, ranking, and simplifying on schedule.

A higher-conviction altcoin framework that still respects concentration, correlation, and replacement discipline. It is not a degen strategy; it is a rules-first way to hold more alts without becoming chaos.

Allocation model

Core anchors35%

Keeps the portfolio from turning into pure speculation.

Ranked alt basket53%

Highest-conviction opportunities only.

Stablecoins12%

Funding for replacements and de-risking.

New positions require replacement discipline.

Rule bundle

  • No single alt gets to become the whole story.
  • A new alt requires an explicit funding source before it enters the portfolio.
  • If a cluster of similar coins grows too large, trim overlap before adding more.
  • Use strength to simplify, not to justify holding every winner forever.

Community layer

Top community strategies, ranked by traction.

This is the social proof side of the Vault: not polished founder playbooks, but the strongest member-submitted ideas currently getting signal from the community.

No approved community strategies yet.
Why this matters

The Vault turns Alpha Factory from “here are my thoughts” into “here are the strategy systems, with guardrails, in a form you can actually adopt.”

The public layer gives cold traffic something concrete to browse. The fork mechanic gives premium members a fast starting point instead of a blank command center.
