Strategy profiles from the proving ground
Each profitable strategy of the proving ground has its own page with its full record: every closed trade, the wins and the losses, the deepest drawdown and the equity curve.
- The Dust Strategy V2: +$77,219 from 51 trades, 2 of them won
We buy very cheap options far out of the money. One rare sharp move pays for dozens of burnt premiums.
- The Dust Strategy V1: +$25,809 from 41 trades, 3 of them won
The same idea as V2 with a different expiry: very cheap far out-of-the-money options, most of them burn, one sharp move pays for the rest.

When the market underprices the coming move, we enter for a sharp move.

When the market overpays for downside fear, we enter for a sharp move.
- Fear Spike V2: +$1,186 from 25 trades, 7 of them won
When fear in the market jumps sharply, we enter the same day for a sharp move.
- The Pendulum: $50,000 became $57,396 by selling options every day
We sell BTC and ETH options every day and keep bought insurance against a crash. Four versions run side by side on a $50,000 base.
