ATorus, LLC Backtest & Trading Assumptions Entry/Exit Time: Positions are closed over a five day period with an equal amount of shares/contracts sold per day. After being at zero exposure for one period and provided the system has a new price direction signal the new position is entered over an equivalent five day period. Given the targeted return profile (20+ days of realized volatility, which only occurs over longer term intervals of time). we find averaging in over these 5 period intervals increases the probability of a better entry price in contrast to putting on all the exposure in one period (i.e. full exposure trade time / median targeted return profile).

This approach allows every position, at least at inception, irres
