How It Works

Signal Framework

Strategy 09 uses multi-market correlation — entering only when correlated instruments confirm the same directional signal.

Entry Logic

Requires confirmation across at least three correlated markets (ES, NQ, ZB, VIX) before generating an entry signal. Divergence between markets acts as a filter.

Exit Logic

Time-based and signal-reversal exits. All positions are closed by end of session — no overnight exposure. Exits also trigger on correlation breakdown.

Risk Controls

Fixed stop per trade, daily loss limit, flat-at-close enforcement. Position sizing is fixed — one contract per active signal.

Strategy Overview

How Strategy 09 Works

Strategy 09 is a multi-market correlation algorithm that trades ES S&P 500 futures using signals derived from monitoring multiple correlated instruments simultaneously. The premise: ES rarely moves in isolation — it responds to and leads correlated markets like NQ (Nasdaq), ZB (Treasury bonds), and VIX (volatility index). When these markets are in alignment, the probability of a sustained move increases significantly.

The algorithm scans correlation divergences and confluences across all four instruments before generating an entry signal. A trade is only taken when at least three of four markets confirm the same directional bias. This high-conviction filter reduces total trade frequency compared to single-market strategies — but increases entry quality. The result is fewer, more deliberate trades with strong signal confirmation.

Common Questions

Strategy 09 — Frequently Asked Questions

Strategy 09 reads price action across multiple correlated markets simultaneously — ES S&P 500, NQ Nasdaq, ZB Treasury bonds, and VIX — before entering a trade. When these markets confirm the same directional signal, the algorithm enters with higher conviction. Divergence between correlated markets acts as a filter to avoid low-probability setups.

Strategy 01 is a single-market high-frequency momentum strategy. Strategy 09 uses cross-market correlation signals, resulting in fewer but higher-conviction trades. Strategy 09 is better suited for traders who prefer fewer, more deliberate entries over high-frequency momentum trading. Both can be run simultaneously as they use different signal frameworks.

Yes. Strategies 01 and 09 both trade ES but use different signal frameworks — momentum vs. multi-market correlation. Running both simultaneously provides two independent entry signals on the same market, increasing total trade frequency without doubling risk per individual trade (they use separate position limits). Many traders run both alongside ZB exposure from Strategy 07 for a balanced ES portfolio.
