About this strategy

3x leveraged funds provide amplified volatility. The general strategy behind Quantum Fader is to take advantage of day to day volatility by scaling in and fading the trend to profit from market reversals. Custom software was written to perform backtesting on simulated 3x ETFs from years worth of historical underlying index ETF data.

-Trade frequency averages once every 2 weeks (depends on volatility).
-Maximum one trade per day
-System averages 65% cash
-No margin
-Well defined worst case scenario.
-100% mechanical (no human market timing)
-Signals are delivered at 3:55 PM EST
-Missing a signal has little effect on overall performance

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.
