Cross MBT-5 Trio

 60 minute bars

The portfolio consists of three relatively uncorrelated Micro BTC futures strategies. All of the strategies in the Cross MBT-5 Trio have a risk stop. It is built on 60 minute bars. Slippage and commission of $22.50 has been charged. BitCoin futures have a micro contract which makes these high-performance strategies within the reach of many traders. 

We have established a relationship with an excellent clearing firm which can auto-trade this portfolio for you on the full size or micro contracts. If you are interested in this reach out to us via our Contact page - https://www.pardo.space/contact.

Please note that we have used the leverage of the more "traditional CTA" model on this portfolio. Suggested account size is $60,000. Of course, more aggressive, experienced traders can choose greater leverage. This portfolio is structured to conform to the other micro contracts in the soon-to-be-released Cross Alpha portfolio which are all 10% of the traditional contract. So, Cross MBT-5 trades five contracts of MBT in each strategy.

The Cross MBT-1 portfolio (not yet documented here but now available) can be traded with a suggested account size of $12,000. Rates of return are the same but PL and Drawdown ae each 20% of the values shown below for the Cross MBT-5 documented here.


Current Performance

This is the performance of the Cross MBT-5 Trio Signal workspaces. These are the strategies that are traded. Due to the shorter Walk-Forward windows in use this cycle, the look back is limited to the shortest window which starts in 1/2023

The Signal strategies will often times have different parameters than the Static strategies. This is the result of walk-forward updating. Consequently, performance between the Static and Signal strategies will diverge.

All of the Cross MBT-5 Trio strategies are built with our proprietary application of Walk-Forward Analysis. What is presented here under Current Performance is the performance of the most current WFA out-of-sample window for each strategy. Our process periodically evaluates the performance of what we call the Static version of the strategy, i.e., the performance of the optimization space, with that of the Dynamic version of the strategy, which is its performance under Walk-Forward Analysis. We select the strategy which exhibits the best current performance. This can and will change from time to time. The performance of the Static portfolio is next presented in the Historical Performance section.

Nonetheless, every Cross MBT-5 Trio strategy has been validated for robustness using our proprietary application of Walk-Forward Analysis. Every strategy in the Cross BTC Trio has to pass this rigorous and unique process. Period.

All Cross BTC Trio strategies are built on a historical look-back from April 1, 2018 through December 31, 2022. Due to the different sizes of the WFA windows used in these strategies, Current Performance starts 1/1/2023. Current performance is from 1-3-2023 through 10-31-2024.
