September 2025 proved to be a pivotal month for U.S. equities, marked by heightened volatility following the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates for the first time on September 17th. The rate cut, long anticipated by markets, triggered a sharp mix of optimism and uncertainty (due to weak labor data). While stocks initially surged on expectations of cheaper borrowing costs, intraday swings intensified as traders reassessed corporate earnings potential and macroeconomic risks. Against this dynamic backdrop, StockHero’s suite of automated stock trading bots demonstrated strong adaptability, with several strategies achieving near-record win rates.
The Sigma Series strategies once again anchored performance. The Sigma Series Alpha Bull emerged as the standout, posting an impressive 96.25% win rate — the highest among all strategies. Tailored for bullish momentum, it captured the post-rate cut rally more effectively than its peers. The Swing Strategy followed closely, delivering a robust 96.02% win rate, reaffirming its reputation as one of the most consistent performers in the StockHero ecosystem. Meanwhile, the Sigma Series Fast (95.22%) and Sigma Series Alpha (95.19%) continued to deliver strong results across volatile sessions, underscoring their role as reliable core strategies since their launch in August 2024.
Conservative options also performed well. The Fishing Rod Strategy recorded a 94.11% win rate, providing traders with steady returns in choppy markets. Similarly, Market Neutral (91.13%) and Market Neutral Aggressive (93.06%) proved valuable for users seeking reduced directional exposure while still benefiting from systematic gains.

The scalping strategies did well too by capitalising on the volatiltiy. Ultra Scalp reached 83.68%, while Ultra Scalp MAX and Ultra Scalp MAX 100 came in at 78.87% and 75.32% respectively. Gamma MAX, the latest strategy to launch on the Marketplace, managed a respectable 82.77%.
Overall, September showcased StockHero’s ability to balance aggressive growth with risk-managed stability. The combination of top-tier performers like the Sigma Series and Swing Strategy, alongside dependable conservative strategies, offered traders a versatile toolkit for navigating a market in transition. With the Fed’s new policy stance likely to shape trading conditions into year-end, StockHero’s strategies appear well-positioned to continue delivering strong results in both trending and uncertain environments.
