Built for Different Market Problems

Volatility Signal System
VIX Kinetic
A mechanical end-of-day signal designed to identify when the historical odds favor a meaningful rise in VIX. Use it to manage long exposure, improve short-side timing, become more selective, or evaluate a defined-risk options setup.

Which System Fits Your Process?
These systems are not interchangeable. They solve different problems and may also complement one another.
Elite SPY
For traders seeking a core, rules-based SPY strategy designed to participate across changing market conditions.
Bear Hunter
For investors who want a tactical SPY system focused specifically on elevated-volatility and turbulent markets.
VIX Kinetic
For traders who want an objective short-term volatility signal for options, experienced futures use, short-side timing, or broader risk awareness.
A system is not valuable simply because its backtest is attractive. It is valuable when the logic is coherent, the rules are executable, and the trader understands where it is likely to struggle. These systems were built for different environments because no single approach owns every market.
Important Disclosure
The results shown on this page are historical backtested results unless specifically identified otherwise. Backtests are hypothetical, benefit from hindsight, and do not represent actual trading in a customer account. They may include assumptions regarding execution, transaction costs, dividends, and slippage. Actual results may differ materially.
VIX Kinetic statistics describe historical movement in the VIX Index under the system's defined signal rules. They are not historical VIX option or futures returns. Any option figures presented elsewhere on the site are synthetic estimates unless clearly stated otherwise.
Trading involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Options and futures involve additional risks and are not suitable for every trader. Nothing on this site is personalized investment advice or a guarantee of future results.
