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.

Built on a simple premise: crypto's defining feature is violent movement, in both directions.

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 were the two Momentum Break strategies, the only components trading faster than the daily clock, and they brought the system to full production in August 2026.

Strategy Architecture

Three Components.
One Engine.

ATLAS Pro runs three components long and short across 100+ liquid digital assets: trend following, mean reversion and momentum break. Net directional exposure is set by the regime: trend shorts run at full size in bearish regimes and at half size in bullish regimes, as a hedge against sharp pullbacks; mean-reversion and momentum-break shorts run only in bearish regimes. When the regime turns bearish existing trend longs are closed, with new trend-long entries continuing at reduced size. Across the restated backtest, net exposure averaged roughly −4% in bearish regimes and +20% in bullish. Averaged across all regimes, net exposure was +3.7% since January 2021 and +0.8% since January 2022.

All positions are executed on USDT-M perpetual futures with no leverage and a stop loss on every position on ATLAS and ATLAS Pro, eliminating liquidation risk on those two tiers while maintaining full access to short-side liquidity across the full digital asset universe.

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 (full size), Bullish (half size)
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: about 1% of Momentum Break trades coincided with a Mean Reversion position in the same asset (restated backtest, 2022 to Sep 2026).

Share of gross strategy return in the restated backtest, Jan 2021 to Sep 2026. Trend dominates strong-trend years; since 2022 the split is 51 / 27 / 22, as Mean Reversion and Momentum Break carry more of the return in bear and range-bound markets.

The Live Record

The Live
Record.

Live since November 2025. Live track record: company proprietary capital. One account, shown at three position sizes. It traded at ATLAS size until 2 April 2026, switching to ATLAS Pro size the same day the corporate futures account went live. Each view below restates the whole record at a constant position size. The strategy did not stop at the switch. ATLAS X has not traded; it restates the same record at three times ATLAS Pro position size.†

Dashed outline: month to date
Live account, figures taken from the daily 00:08 UTC record of exchange balances, net of trading fees and funding. No leverage. Month-to-date figures update once a day with that record.

* November 2025 is a partial month from launch on 16 November. ATLAS Pro and ATLAS are the same account; ATLAS shows the record at double position size and ATLAS X at three times ATLAS Pro position size. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

† All three views cover the same period, 16 November 2025 to present, restated at constant sizing; the account itself changed sizing once, in April 2026, and has never traded at ATLAS X size. November 2025 partial month (live from 16th). ATLAS position sizing ran from Nov 2025 until 2 April 2026, switching to ATLAS Pro (standard sizing; company proprietary capital in the corporate futures account) that same day upon corporate account approval for futures trading, forming a continuous live history of the same systematic strategy. Returns net of trading fees and funding costs; no management or performance fees have been charged to this account. Current-month (MTD) figures update daily from the 00:08 UTC record. All three tracks derive from a single continuously reconciled daily record. ATLAS positions are twice the size of ATLAS Pro’s and ATLAS X positions three times, so each track is computed from the same daily record.

ATLAS Pro correlation to TOTAL2ES daily returns varies by regime. It is higher in Bullish regimes, when the book takes directional long exposure, and the strategy is not market neutral. ATLAS and ATLAS X scale the same daily returns, so their correlation is the same.

Verification · the account as traded
…Account return as traded, since 16 Nov 2025

Every figure above comes from a single live exchange account, recorded daily. The account traded at ATLAS position size from 16 November 2025 and at ATLAS Pro size from 2 April 2026, when the corporate futures account went live, so its as-traded return blends the two. The ATLAS Pro and ATLAS records restate that same daily history at each product’s constant position size.

Read-only exchange access, account statements and the full daily return file are available to prospective investors on request.

Regime assessed every 4 hours from live TOTAL2ES 4H data. Score out of 8 momentum conditions across multiple timeframes. Bearish 7 October 2025 to 20 August 2026 (altcoin market −51.90% over the period, 4-hour closes at the two regime changes) · Bullish 20 August to 8 October 2026 · Bearish since 8 October 2026.

Bullish Regime

The long side of trend following and mean reversion runs fully active; trend shorts run at half size as a hedge against sharp pullbacks, and the other short books stand down.

Trigger: Broad agreement across momentum signals on multiple timeframes confirms the transition. Score must reach 4/8 or above.

Bearish Regime

Shorts run at full size in all three components, 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: Broad weakness across momentum signals on multiple timeframes confirms the transition. Score must fall to 1/8 or below; in between the two thresholds the engine holds its current state, so it does not flip on noise.

Five-Year View

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; it turned Bearish again on 8 October 2026.

Risk Management

Built to Survive
Every Regime.

−3.37% maximum drawdown live at ATLAS Pro size. On 10 October 2025, the largest forced-liquidation event in crypto history, ATLAS was still in its pre-launch test phase, trading proprietary capital at ATLAS sizing (twice ATLAS Pro's position size, no leverage) and effectively long-only. The regime engine had turned Bearish three days earlier, so the book was about three-quarters cash. Automated stops closed the longs during the crash, and the account lost 2.2% on the day, equivalent to about 1.1% at ATLAS Pro size and 3.2% at ATLAS X size. Designed to defend first.

I
Only ATLAS X Uses Leverage
ATLAS and ATLAS Pro hold all positions on USDT-M futures. Liquidation risk eliminated on ATLAS and ATLAS Pro: no leverage and a stop loss on every position. ATLAS X uses leverage only when its positions need more than 100% of equity: about a fifth of days in the restated backtest (22%, 2022 to September 2026) and 7% of days on the live-equivalent record to 31 October 2026; average gross exposure 73% (backtest), peaking around 2×.
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 bring full-size shorts, not just cash.
IV
Position Monitoring
Automated anomaly detection. Net and gross exposure monitored continuously. Full transparency via read-only API access.
V
AWS Infrastructure
Automated on AWS EC2. S3 persistence, ghost detection, instant 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.
