About this strategy

This strategy utilizes automated buy and sell signals based on our VRP VXX Bias indicator.
The following are the detailed mechanics of this automated trading system:
- Trades will typically be placed around 3:57pm ET if our indicators detect a change in direction.
- Since our VRP VXX Bias values become official at 4:33pm ET, any discrepancies with the official signal will try to be resolved at the open on the next trading session.
- This strategy is in 100% cash approximately 30% of the time.
- This strategy makes ~24 trades per year.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
