Daily models ride sustained trends in either direction and trade the overshoots between them; a faster momentum-break component buys capitulation lows and shorts failed rallies. Fully systematic, fully automated, no leverage.

Built on a simple premise: crypto's defining feature is violent movement, in both directions. ATLAS Pro is designed to monetise the movement without betting on the direction.

System Build-Out

ATLAS Pro was assembled deliberately rather than launched all at once: every component was validated in simulation before it touched live capital. The final additions — the two Momentum Break strategies, the only components trading faster than the daily clock — brought the system to full production in August 2026.

The Live Record

The Live
Record.

Live since November 2025. One account, shown at both sizing levels. It traded at 2× as ATLAS until 2 April 2026, switching to 1× as ATLAS Pro the same day the corporate futures account went live. Each column below restates the whole record at that constant sizing — neither strategy stopped.

† Both columns cover the same period, 16 November 2025 to present, restated at constant sizing; the account itself changed sizing once, in April 2026. November 2025 partial month (live from 16th). ATLAS ran at 2× position sizing from Nov 2025 until 2 April 2026, switching to ATLAS Pro (standard sizing, institutional SMA) that same day upon corporate account approval for futures trading, forming a continuous live history of the same systematic strategy. Returns net of all fees and funding costs. Current-month (MTD) figures are as of the last 4-hour update shown on the equity chart. Both tracks derive from a single continuously-audited daily record. The account traded as ATLAS (2× sizing) from 16 November 2025 and as ATLAS Pro (1× sizing) from 2 April 2026, when the corporate futures account went live; the companion track is computed at exactly 2:1 daily.

Window: January 2021 – July 2026 modelled; the system reached its final production form in August 2026 and the record continues with the live account from that month († = live result, net of all costs). YTD compounds both. · Six years, every year positive. Complete current three-component system simulated on one pipeline: live signal formulas, live regime series, live sizing and volatility filters, 0.04% commissions plus actual Binance funding rates, and liquidity-tiered slippage with close-confirmed stop/target fills on the Momentum Break strategies. Restated 8 September 2026: trade history regenerated end-to-end by the in-house signal engine (no third-party signal platform) on the current tradable universe, including the Trend Long entry-window update (v2, 7 Sep 2026). Hypothetical backtest. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Backtest restated 8 September 2026 to reflect the current production system, fully regenerated by the proprietary signal engine (Trend Long entry v2; identical 2021–2026 window and methodology).

Strategy Architecture

Three Components.
One Engine.

ATLAS Pro runs three components — trend following, mean reversion and momentum break — long and short across 100+ liquid digital assets. Net directional exposure ranges from −20% net short to +50% net long, averaging roughly flat — modestly net short (~−8%) in bearish regimes, ~+16% in bullish. In bearish regimes, exposure is actively capped between +10% and −20%.

All positions are executed on USDT-M perpetual futures with zero leverage, eliminating liquidation risk while maintaining full access to short-side liquidity across the full digital asset universe.

Daily Signals · 4H Momentum Break Long/Short · 4H Exposure Caps4.2d Avg Hold~60× Annual Turnover (round-trip)Zero Leverage100+ Digital AssetsAWS Automated
Trend Following · Long & Short
Rides sustained directional moves in either direction. Long captures upward momentum with larger allocations in bull markets and reduced sizing in bear; short profits from declining assets via systematic ranking.
Long: All Regimes · Short: Bearish
Mean Reversion · Long & Short
Trades the overshoots between trends. Buys deeply oversold conditions expecting reversion to fair value; shorts overbought conditions on high-probability reversion setups.
Long: All Regimes · Short: Bearish
Momentum Break · Long & Short4H
Mean reversion anticipates a turn once price has fallen far enough. This waits for the turn to actually happen: it buys after a market-wide sell-off, when prices stop falling and start to lift, and shorts rallies in falling markets when the buying dries up. Trades last hours, not weeks.
Long: All Regimes · Short: Bearish
Rarely overlaps Mean Reversion — fewer than 7% of its trades had a Mean Reversion position open in the same asset at the same time; under 2% on the short side.

Regime assessed every 4 hours from live TOTAL2ES 4H data. Score out of 8 momentum conditions across multiple timeframes. Bearish 7 October 2025 – 20 August 2026 (altcoin market −51.64% over the period · live correlation 0.02) · Bullish since 20 August 2026.

Bullish Regime

The long side of trend following and mean reversion runs fully active; the short books stand down.

Trigger: Sustained momentum across multiple timeframes confirms the transition. Score must reach 4/8 or above.

Bearish Regime

All three components activate — shorts open, long trend continues at reduced sizing, and Momentum Break works both sides: buying the turn after broad sell-offs while shorting rallies that fail.

Trigger: Momentum breakdown confirmed across score and rate-of-change conditions.

TOTAL2ES is the total crypto market capitalisation excluding Bitcoin and stablecoins — the altcoin market ATLAS Pro trades. The engine held bearish from 7 October 2025, 3 days before the largest mass liquidation in crypto's history, until it flipped Bullish on 20 August 2026.

Risk Management

Built to Survive
Every Regime.

−10.56% max drawdown across six backtested years. −3.39% live. Designed to defend first.

I
Zero Leverage
All positions on USDT-M futures with no leverage. Liquidation risk eliminated by design.
II
ATR-Based Stops
Every position carries calibrated stop loss and take profit. Automated verification every cycle.
III
Dynamic Sizing
Position sizes scale with regime state. Bearish markets activate shorts - not just cash.
IV
Position Monitoring
Real-time anomaly detection. Net long and net short exposure caps. Full transparency via read-only API access.
V
AWS Infrastructure
Automated on AWS EC2. S3 persistence, ghost detection, real-time alerts.
VI
Known Lean Environment
The system underperforms in trendless markets and is designed to defend rather than force trades in them; the material risk is a multi-year absence of movement in either direction, which crypto has not historically produced.
