Frequently Asked Questions

Positions are typically short in duration — often held from intra-day to several days, depending on the strength of the signal and volatility conditions. Session-based logic and strict time cutoffs help control overnight exposure where applicable.

Mean reversion performs best in range-bound or oscillating markets — conditions where prices frequently revert toward equilibrium. It complements longer-term trend systems by potentially generating returns when trending models are inactive or drawdown-prone.

Each trade is controlled through tight, pre-defined stop levels, session cutoffs, and position caps. A strict risk budget governs maximum exposure per trade, while daily oversight ensures consistency and compliance with model parameters.

The strategy trades liquid futures markets such as:

  • Equity Index Micros & E-minis (S&P, NASDAQ)

  • Metals & Energy: Gold, Silver, Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Copper

  • Crypto Futures: BTC, ETH (venue availability applies)

Diversification across sectors helps improve stability and reduce correlation risk.

All accounts are client-owned and cleared through our FCM partners (R.J. O’Brien, StoneX, Phillip Capital). You receive daily statements directly from your FCM, and optional strategy summaries are available for ongoing performance tracking.

The model includes trend-filtering logic and market condition screens that prevent entries during runaway directional moves. By waiting for statistically valid extremes confirmed by volatility and liquidity filters, the strategy minimizes exposure to trending environments.
