Trading Strategy

Systematic / Trend / Currency

Program Description

V4 is basically a trend following, volatility trading strategy. It exploits the term structure (the contango and backwardation) of the VIX futures premium. V4 adjusts portfolio components on daily basis. The leverage (position value relative to the nominal account size) is less than or equal to 0.3, i.e. the strategy is underleveraged, in order to prevent disastrous drawdowns from overleveraged trading. Strategy returns are somewhat correlated with S&P 500 index returns. Since this strategy is not correlated to swing and trend following strategies on the S&P 500 index itself, it can be seen as an excellent complement to them.

Statistical Footnotes

1. The Annualized Compounded Rate of Return (ACROR) represents the compounded rate of return for each year or portion thereof presented. It is computed by applying successively respective monthly rate of return for each month beginning with the first month of that period. It smooths out the returns by assuming a constant growth.
2. Peak to Valley Drawdown = worst % loss between Apr-2015 and Nov-2025
3. Sharpe Ratio is calculated using a Risk-Free ROR
4. Sortino Ratio is calculated using a Minimum Acceptable ROR
5. Calmar Ratio uses the last 36 months of data
6. Sterling Ratio uses the last 36 months of data
7. VAMI = Hypothetical growth of $1,000
8. Drawdown/recovery: start = first loss, recovery = full return to prior peak
