Trading Strategy: ST / Systematic / Option Writer / E Mini



1. Buckingham's Weekly E-mini Program (WEP) is a commodity option strategy employing an absolute return investment approach. The Strategy primarily writes (sells) a series of out of money (OTM) call and put option naked or spread combination on S&P 500 E-mini futures.
2. WEP focuses on short duration derivatives - the option expires within 2-8 days, because the time decay is the greatest in those final days. It does this primarily by identifying the option strikes with best risk/reward ratio according to our proprietary Quant model.
3. WEP aims for Sharpe Ratio +2.0 long term (5+ years) considering tail risk due to the economic cycles.
4. Long options or VIX hedge is implemented to reduce drawdown based on daily P/L.
