About this strategy

Nimble :: Trading SPX using Volatility.

The system derives information from various SPX volatility indices and uses it to issue short-term signals, with an average horizon of 2-3 days. These signals are traded using ETFs that track the SP500 index and the VIX futures, directly or inversely. The trades are automatic, handled by an algorithm, but monitored by the system creator.

No stop prices are set, but the system also issues longer-term signals with an average horizon of 1 month, attempting to predict larger moves of the market. These signals are used to manually buy cheap OTM options that hedge the main short-term system against adverse market moves.

No margin is used.

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.
