The EP-AIM™ Automated Straddle Hedge System combines a weekly short straddle strategy with an always-in-the-market futures hedge. Rather than relying on market predictions, the system follows predefined rules designed to maintain continuous hedge coverage throughout each campaign.
When a new straddle campaign begins, a corresponding futures hedge is established. The hedge remains active throughout the campaign with stop-and-reverse logic that can switch between long and short positions as market conditions change. The objective is to manage directional risk while maintaining a disciplined, repeatable process.
EP-AIM uses an eleven-price ladder generated from proprietary ExitPoints analysis. The middle rung serves as the initial stop-and-reverse level. As markets move, hedge levels may be adjusted according to predefined ladder rules, creating a structured approach to trade management.
Straddle established and hedge activated.
Hedge monitored and managed according to AIM rules.
Options assignment is reviewed and any remaining futures exposure is closed before the next campaign begins.
The system is designed to reduce emotional decision-making by replacing discretionary trade management with a consistent rules-based process. EP-AIM focuses on disciplined execution, risk management, and systematic hedge control.
Futures and options trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. Losses can exceed initial investments. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
