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.
Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and onlythose with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
