How It Works

​

  1.  Submit New Client Agreement Form here

  2.  Determine Risk Budget (see below)

  3.  Provide mobile number to sync with application for signal delivery

  4.  Periodically review performance and make trade size/scaling adjustments as needed

  5.  When applicable pay any invoiced fees

     

Trade Size & Allocations

​

Generally the maximum DIRECTIONAL risk at any given time will not exceed 10-15% of the standard Risk Budget (see below), which equates to $2,000 to $3,000 dollars.  A more common overall risk exposure often times falls within 5-10% of the standard Risk Budget, or $1,000 to $2,000 of directional risk.

​

This is based on there is generally some offsetting position or hedge to the any overall directional bias that the strategy is trading.  Often times hedges or trade signals that are counter-directional to the overall tide or theme of the strategy will mitigate, or even completely negate the directional theme being wrong.  

​

The general scope of the strategy seeks to produce winners that are 2x-3x the losing trades.

​

​

Risk Budgets

​

Each client should consider defining a Risk Budget prior to trading.  This is simply the amount of total capital they are willing to risk in order to achieve their individual goals.  Basically this is the maximum drawdown a client is willing to take. 

​

Below are some common starting risk budgets that clients use that are associated with this strategy at 1x scale.

​

Standard Risk Budget:    $25,000

​

Minimum Risk Budget: $10,000  

​

This is for illustrative purposes only and not a recommendation or advice, but is suitable to participate in the strategy considering the position sizes and  risk taken.  

​

Each client is responsible for maintaining their own margin requirements.
