Stratuscapital

Stratus Capital is an exclusive investment fund dedicated solely to trading the Forex market. We offer our services by utilising mirror trading software that enables our clients' trading accounts to duplicate each and every trade that we place on our own 'master-account.' This not only gives the client a live insight to our trading activities, but also means funds are always held in their own personal trading account, in turn
maximising client satisfaction and peace of mind.

Strategic Growth Projections:

Our strategic objective revolves around achieving consistent, robust growth, targeting a range of 1-5% and beyond per month. While this figure may fluctuate on a monthly basis due to market dynamics, it serves as a reliable benchmark for our forward-looking aspirations. This target is not arbitrary; it draws from previous experience and trading established in a prior venture.

Risk:

With security being one of our core values, risk within Stratus Capital is kept to an absolute minimum. You will never see more than 0.5% of your investment per trade being exposed to the market. This means that no matter how hard of a hit the market has taken from external factors, the only exposure your investment has, is the positions that are open at any given time ensuring risk is kept to an absolute minimum.

When compared to traditional asset classes this is a huge benefit as we do not own any of the underlying assets we are trading meaning we are not susceptible to market downturns like that of equities where you can see a significant drop in value at any given time and your investment is fully exposed. We profit by speculating on the difference in price of the assets we trade and can do so in any market direction giving us the freedom to enter both long and short positions.

We pride ourselves at Stratus in following strict trading rules, this allows us to project a high level of confidence in our services. We provide our clients the option of setting a ‘hard stop’ or drawdown limit on their investment meaning that in the extremely unlikely event performance was negative and the decline hits the drawdown limit, all positions will be closed automatically and all trades will cease for that investment. This can be set at any level requested by the client but we insist that -12% is more than enough. We provide this for clients that have a minimal appetite to risk allowing them to sleep easy knowing their maximum exposure. This is a testament to both our confidence and reliability at Stratus.

Capital preservation is a key component in maintaining sustainable and consistent results. See below our ‘Risk of Ruin’ statistics which shows there is less than a 0.01% chance of losing 10% of your investment as it would require 37 consecutive losses.

The Swiss Banker Strategy is a technical, rules-based strategy designed by two traders who through experience, combined a number of different trading approaches into one complete trading system. This combination of systems was carefully selected and built through experiences in the market which spans over 10 years. The primary goal of the Swiss Banker Strategy was to be able to design a system which enters the market upon completion of a series of criteria, thus reducing the possibility of drawdown or a losing trade. The more confluences that are met in the system, the higher the possibility of there being a successful trading outcome. One of the key advantages of the Swiss Banker Strategy is the number of rules in place before a trade can be entered, this series of events has been tested to demonstrate that over time, risk for the trader can be reduced to an acceptable level allowing for a statistical market edge to be created. The rules also provide a platform for the traders where limited judgement is required, thus reducing the risk of human emotions, inadequate trading psychology or inappropriate trading behaviours to take place. When trading systems individually, it was noted by the two traders that market conditions can change over time leading to a once profitable system being made redundant upon certain changes in the market structure. This is why a combination of techniques is best and whilst this may lead to a reduction in the number of “opportunities”, the success rate of the opportunity when it should arise is higher, allowing the trader to have more confidence in the approach throughout the entire trading cycle.

As the markets are complex and inherently unpredictable, the system combines approaches with liquidity zones, time, volume, trend and candlestick patterns to help to identify key zones which may be a target for retail traders. Trades can only be entered at the predetermined risk of 0.5% per trade, must have a target of at least 1:3 and can only be entered upon confirmation (signal) of the trend, following which a specific candlestick pattern is formed. These trades usually occur within 1 – 2 hours of the commencement of London / New York trading sessions and on average, there are around 4 trades per week. To reduce exposure to the market, limit the capital risk and to allow the traders to develop a round the clock expertise, there is currently only one asset being traded, being the DAX index.

Indicator and Rules
A custom built indicator has been designed in PineScript for TradingView, and provides
support / confirmation of the Trend / Market Direction which is used to affirm the directional bias for the session, allowing the traders to move through to the subsequent criteria to search for entry patterns and liquidity allowing for a trade to take place. The current indicator provides visual alerts for a Buy & Sell Signal, for all timeframes, but
predominantly M15 and M5 are used as the basis for the strategy. These signals are based on EMA & SMA averaging. Once the directional trend has been established, the traders move forward into the more specific rules around time of day, establishing risk and targets, liquidity and volume, before finally waiting for the opportune moment and the critical pattern (trigger) to arise, thus securing a safe and accurate entry to the market.
