U.S. Government Required Disclaimer – Commodity Futures, Trading Commission Futures, Derivatives and Options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in the futures and options markets. Don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose. This website is neither a solicitation nor an offer to Buy/Sell futures, options, or any other assets. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results.
CFTC RULE 4.41: Results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
OPTIONS DISCLAIMER: Back testing an options algorithm poses many challenges due to the unknown estimates for premium collected. Option premiums can vary greatly and are dependent on many different factors, including but not limited to, market volatility and time until expiration – making it impossible to know specific premiums of the options involved in the back-tested data at the time of the trades in question. In addition, the daily options were not available to trade for the entire back-tested period. In order to provide our customers with the most accurate back-tested performance results that we can, we have created a look-up-table to model the profit/loss for past options trade. Please note, these estimates have significant limitations and the corresponding reports which use these estimates should be considered to be much less than perfect. All back-testing has limitations, however back-tested options algorithms have even more in our opinion due to the potential inaccuracies used in determining premium collected estimates.

Why would anyone prefer to use this algorithm over the others?
The Paladin trading system utilizes the most strategies and therefore requires the largest account size. To get started, that amounts to approximately $60,000. If someone has less that $60,000 available to trade, then they should consider using the Geronimo or Noble trading system.
Please note, both Paladin & Noble have an added degree of uncertainty due to the limitations of back-testing an options algorithm. See the options disclaimer on the tear sheet for more details.
Could I start with Paladin and trade Geronimo or Noble as well?
Yes. You could begin trading the paladin trading system and then move to Geronimo/Noble at no extra charge, as long as you are trading within the total dollar amount stated in your contract.
What strategies are traded within Paladin?
This trading systems trades 12 different algorithms. It utilizes the day trade long, emerald day trading strategies long and short, bull-fire overnight ES algorithm along with 8 options strategies.
Is this fully automated?
Yes, just like the other systems we offer, this is a fully automated trading system. It auto-trades under a letter of direction by NFA registered brokers.
STRATEGIES TRADED WITHIN PALADIN
Paladin trades a total of 12 different strategies. The following pictures show an example of each kind of trade, Paladin can place. The large number of strategies traded do require a larger starting account size, which is why this algorithms unit size is $60,000. As you review the trade data, please keep in mind CFTC Rule 4.41 as it pertains to the limitations of hypothetical returns.
Options Day Trading Algorithm (1-8)
This algorithm uses a proprietary walk-forward analysis, that will analyze the current day and compare it to every single other day in the back-test. At that point, it will decide if the market will close higher or lower than the current price. If a certain threshold is met, it will sell a 20-25 point put spread, that will expire the same day (making this a day trade). Once a trade is entered, it will hold until the close of the market, when the options will expire with either a max profit (options expire above the short strike), partial profit/loss (options expire between short/long strike) or a max loss (options expire below both the long strike).
This trading algorithm is used in the Noble & Paladin Trading Systems. In the Noble Trading System, it will take the first 2 generated trades, while in Paladin it will take the first 8 trades generated.
Bull Fire ES Swing Trading Algorithm
The Bull-Fire ES Trading Strategy places long trades on the Emini-S&P Futures as equity markets are closing. It utilizes a larger “crash” stop during the overnight session and will either continue holding overnight (creating a swing trade) or exit the same day if a certain profit target is hit.
This trading algorithm is used in the Paladin Trading System as well as in our legacy Phoenix V2 Trading System.
Watch this short video which shows the BullFire ES in action.
Day Trade Long (Breakout) Algorithm
The Breakout Day Trading Strategy places day trades on the Emini-S&P Futures when the market shows strength in the morning. It utilizes a very tight stop while trying to maximize the gains seen on winning trades.
Here’s a video recording of a day trade short that triggered on 13 May 2022. This trade resulted in a gain of approximately $2,295 per unit traded. Just remember, past performance is not indicative of future performance.
This strategy is traded in all three trading systems we offer (Geronimo, Noble & Paladin).
Emerald Day Trade Long Strategy
The Emerald Day Trade Long Strategy places a long trade on the Emini-S&P Futures at various times throughout the day. It utilizes a larger “crash” stop and can hold the entire day or exit early based on the predictive exit logic. The long strategy will place certain trades, when the market state prediction logic suggests that the market will be in a strongly upward moving market (strong up). If it sees evidence that it might be wrong, based on market conditions, it will exit prematurely with either a gain or a loss. Otherwise, it will hold until the close and exit at 4PM EST.
This trading algorithm is used in the Noble & Paladin Trading Systems.
Emerald Day Trade Short Strategy
The Emerald Day Trade Short Strategy places a short trade on the Emini-S&P Futures at various times throughout the day. It utilizes a larger “short-covering” stop and can hold the entire day or exit early based on the predictive exit logic. The short strategy will place certain trades, when the market state prediction logic suggests that the market will be in a strong downward moving market (strong down). If it sees evidence that it might be wrong, based on market conditions, it will exit prematurely with either a gain or a loss. Otherwise, it will hold until the close and exit at 4PM EST.
This trading algorithm is used in the Noble & Paladin Trading Systems.
