Since the Investors Intelligence Polls are on a Positive signal, our sentiment indicators are suggesting an overall Neutral bias.

Company Philosophy

Our trading philosophy is based upon figuratively laying out various technical, fundamental and sentiment indicators on the playing field where we can observer the game and more effectively call plays to be more defensive or offensive. Most trading systems rely on a group of technical indicators as a basis for the trade signal without regard to market fundamentals or sentiment. While each of our strategies rely heavily on a different type of indicator, defining posture first develops proper trade structures that lead to more consistent profits.

Strategies

  • VEGA Strategy is a multi-day scalping strategy designed around the historical tendencies of an indices’ inverse relationship to its implied volatility measure. Vega long and short signals are applied to the CME S&P eMINI futures that utilize a dynamic approach to the adage "when the VIX is HIGH, it's time to buy; when the VIX is LOW, it's time to go!"
  • Delta Strategy utilized artificial intelligence (AI) to scan the market and execute the professionally programmed strategy signals designed by our strategy developers. The strategy, aimed at trading the intraday volatility of the S&P eMini Futures Contract, executes frequent intraday long and short trade signals.
  • The Contra-Theta strategy is designed to take advantage of the extrinsic “time decay” of options that at times trades with a slight directional bias. The positions, constructed monthly with a target return and maximum risk target, are setup for minimal risk, low volatility, and consistent monthly returns.
