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.
