CTA SOL Strategy

HIGH RISK

PreviousExternal TradersNextPairs Trading

Due Diligence & Selection Process

Neutral Trade conducted a rigorous due diligence process before onboarding Marco as an external trader for the CTA SOL Strategy. Key steps include:

1. Strategy Evaluation

  • Back-test verification: Ensured risk-adjusted returns align with expectations.

  • Live tracking (90 days): Performance monitoring across centralized exchanges and Drift.

  • Risk model review: Assessed robustness against changing market conditions.

2. Risk Management & Portfolio Fit

  • Target 15% volatility ensures controlled risk exposure.

  • Diversification: Uncorrelated returns complement Neutral Trade’s existing strategies.

  • Scalability analysis: Assessed liquidity constraints and execution efficiency.

3. Transparency & Operational Alignment

  • On-chain tracking: Allows real-time monitoring of positions.

  • Trade execution controls: Ensures orders are within risk and liquidity parameters.

Risk Management on Neutral's side

Neutral Trade will constantly track the volatility and daily maximum drawdown on the vault - if it exceeds the historical numbers of the strategy, the team would cut half of the position size, and if it is above our maximum theshold %, we will stop the algo and unwind positions, and conduct prompt reevaluation on the strategy. The risk management procedure allows the maximum drawdown of our users to be less than 20%.

Fees & Withdrawals

25% performance fee on profits our trading made for you and 2% management fee.

To optimize liquidity and returns, deposits come with a 7-day redemption period.
