About this strategy

New Algorithm Trade System (starting date) : after an initial test period the official version of the strategy started on October 10th 2022.

All Liquid Volatility strategies that can be MANUALLY traded.
All are 100% algorithmic systematic strategies. No human intervention.

LIQUID Volatility SVXY go back to trade “LONG Only” SVXY (-0.5x Short VIX Futures ETF)
Thus it will be possible to trade this strategy also for IRA accounts.

LIQUID Volatility UVXY trades “SHORT only” UVXY (1.5 x ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF).
LIQUID Volatility PLUS trades “SHORT only” VXX (iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN).

LIQUID Volatility SVXY and LIQUID Volatility UVXY has no option coverage but only a stop loss updated every day.

LIQUID Volatility PLUS, in addition to the stop loss, also has an option call coverage to prevent a large loss from a "black swan" event.
The vast majority of the time, these options will expire worthless.
However, should there be some sort of unforeseen "black-swan" event, then the options will provide a cap on the amount of money that could be lost on the overall trade.

2024 update :
1)LIQUID VOLATILITY plus is now 100% TOS-certified since January 2024”
2) in order to generate a surplus percentage yield starting from January 2024 all Liquid Volatility strategies will invest in the SGOV iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF.
May 1 Update:
After various tests conducted on the standard deviation of the various ETFs and their performance compared to each other, we decided to use SVXY for the Long Only and VXX with UVXY for the Short Only. This change will be permanent.
PS: the trades in TAP or INCY that occurred in LIQUID Volatility Plus were the result of broker transmit errors and were immediately closed. They are not part of the strategy that trades volatility only,

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.
