Precision Ticks
Discretionary judgement within an automated risk framework
The strategy has two layers. Entry selection is discretionary and based on analysis of how the index behaves. Execution, position sizing and risk limits are automatic and are set before each session opens.
Entry selection
It concentrates on the first part of the European session, when the DAX carries the most volume and liquidity. The criteria rest on patterns specific to this index, observed continuously since 2017: moves that fail to hold, recurring turning zones, and sessions that are better left alone.
Execution and risk
A rules-based program places the orders, manages position scaling and applies the risk limits. Parameters are set before the open and cannot be changed during the session.
Adds only in profit
The position is only increased when price moves in its favour. Losing positions are never averaged down.
Daily loss limit
A predefined maximum daily loss. Once it is reached, trading stops until the next session.
Flat at the close
Every position is closed before the session ends. No exposure to overnight gaps.
Short holding times
Around a hundred trades a day on average, from seconds to a few minutes, within a fixed time window.
Risk control independent of the operator
Four levels of control, spread across systems that are independent of one another.
Stop on the execution server
Protective orders sit on the execution server and stay active even if the connection to the platform is lost.
Session limits
A predefined daily target and maximum loss. When either is reached, trading stops until the next session.
Predefined size
The size of each addition is set before the open. Size is only added in the direction of the move.
External supervision
A separate process, hosted on an external server, monitors the account and can halt trading in the event of any technical incident.
Monthly performance, unfiltered
Results are counted from October 2026, the first full month under the strategy's current structure. The track record is still too short to draw conclusions from. Every month is published, positive and negative, without exception.
