About this strategy

A variety of models are used to generate the signals which include, and not limited to, volume delta, market profile, fund flows.

The Strategy is managed by Mario Randholm, who is the head of an investment management company dedicated to managing capital for its partners by adhering to mathematical and statistical methods.

The strategy has more than 20 years of track record with the original algorithm. If you wish to review available broker data an NDA must be signed.

With the subscription you will obtain direct access to private blog commentaries as well as direct access to private communication channels.

As of Jan 2019, the model will also deploy a cash management strategy. The data above is hypothetical and may differ from broker data which for example, pays interest on the account cash balance.

As of Jan 2020, the model will also deploy hedges to provide limited protection during a black swan event.

For those using R Option as a risk management tool and/or a "Risk on / Risk Off" signal provider, nothing have change.

As of Jan 2026:
A. The model will deploy long short trades.
B. Hedges will be executed for the entire portfolio in another account.

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.
