Trading Strategies
Ordertune runs 9 independently coded strategies on the full NASDAQ-100 universe. Each strategy has a different regime, style, and holding period — together they create diversification across market conditions.
Strategy formulas and exact parameters are proprietary and not disclosed. The descriptions below cover regime, style, and behavior — enough to understand when and why each strategy is active.
Strategy Overview
| # | Name | Regime | Style | Holding Period | Signal Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | Weekly Pulse | Any | Weekly rotation | ~5 days | Several per week |
| II | Risk-Flow Arbitrage | Risk-off only | Mean-reversion | 2–8 days | Low — regime dependent |
| III | Trend Quality Rebound | Any | Mean-reversion | 2–5 days | Moderate |
| IV | Selective Sniper | Elevated VIX | Deep dip | 1–3 days | Low — VIX dependent |
| V | Intraday Liquidity Hunter | Any | Intraday pattern | Intraday | Moderate |
| VI | Precision Panic Predator | High VIX | Panic reversal | 1–5 days | Low — spikes only |
| VII | Momentum Powerhouse | Any | Weekly momentum | ~5 days | Several per week |
| VIII | Deep Dip Strategy | Any | Oversold bounce | 2–4 days | Moderate |
| IX | Peak Reloader | Uptrend | RSI-2 dip | 1–4 days | Moderate |
Strategy Descriptions
I — Weekly Pulse
The Weekly Pulse rotates exposure across NASDAQ-100 names on a weekly cycle. It does not require any specific market regime and focuses on short-term price patterns that repeat at a weekly frequency. Holding periods cluster around 5 days, making it a high-cadence contributor to the portfolio.
II — Risk-Flow Arbitrage
Risk-Flow Arbitrage is only active when the broader market enters a risk-off regime — periods characterized by rising volatility, deteriorating breadth, or increased cross-asset stress. During these windows, the strategy identifies NASDAQ-100 names that are technically oversold relative to the risk environment and positions for a mean-reversion bounce. When the market is in a risk-on regime, this strategy generates no signals.
III — Trend Quality Rebound
This strategy operates in any market regime. It evaluates the quality of the preceding trend — consistency, breadth, and momentum — and targets names that have pulled back from high-quality trends. The expected edge is mean-reversion back toward the trend after a brief dislocation. It is one of the more consistently active strategies across different market environments.
IV — Selective Sniper
The Selective Sniper activates when the VIX is elevated — not necessarily spiking, but running above normal baseline levels. It targets extreme intraday or multi-day selloffs in individual NASDAQ-100 names, entering only when the dislocation meets precise criteria. Signal frequency is low by design: the strategy is highly selective, preferring to miss marginal opportunities rather than take low-conviction setups.
V — Intraday Liquidity Hunter
This strategy exploits intraday price patterns and liquidity dynamics within the NASDAQ-100. Holding periods are measured in hours rather than days. Signals are generated on the current trading day and typically close by end of day (via MOC or LOC orders). It is the only intraday-horizon strategy in the Ordertune suite.
VI — Precision Panic Predator
The Precision Panic Predator is designed for high-VIX spike events — moments of genuine fear or forced selling in the market. It identifies stocks in the NASDAQ-100 that have experienced acute, technically extreme panic moves, and positions for a sharp reversal. Signals are rare because the required conditions — both index-level panic and individual stock distress — must align simultaneously.
VII — Momentum Powerhouse
The Momentum Powerhouse is a pure momentum strategy with no regime filter. It ranks NASDAQ-100 constituents by their momentum characteristics and rotates into the strongest names on a weekly basis. Unlike the mean-reversion strategies, it expects winners to keep winning. It is one of the highest-frequency contributors in terms of signals generated.
VIII — Deep Dip Strategy
Deep Dip targets technically oversold NASDAQ-100 names across any market environment. It does not require a risk-off regime or elevated VIX — it simply finds stocks that have experienced meaningful multi-day declines from their recent range and positions for a bounce. Holding periods are short (2–4 days) and exits are disciplined.
IX — Peak Reloader
Peak Reloader is active only during established uptrends. Within those uptrends, it identifies pullbacks measured by a very short-term RSI (2-period) — brief dips in names that remain structurally strong. The strategy "reloads" exposure after minor corrective moves. It generates no signals in downtrends or sideways markets.
How Strategies Interact
The 9 strategies are designed to be additive, not redundant. At any given time:
- Mean-reversion strategies (II, III, IV, VI, VIII) provide downside cushion and exploit dislocations
- Momentum strategies (VII, I) keep the portfolio exposed to trending names
- Intraday strategies (V) add a distinct time horizon
- Regime-filtered strategies (II, IV, VI) reduce exposure during benign markets and concentrate during stress
The result is a diversified signal stream that behaves differently from any single strategy in isolation.
