STRATIQ Prime

Prime expands rotation into a broader universe and adds a risk-off anchor for defensive positioning. It is designed to keep capital aligned with leadership through full market cycles.

How it was designed to be read

Prime is designed for spot investing and structured positioning. It is meant to be read as a system: first the medium-term market state, then rotation, then risk-off behavior when conditions weaken.

Important note

Signals are finalized after the UTC 00:00 close and published following manual review.
Please allow up to 1–2 hours for approval and distribution to the dashboards.
STRATIQ signals are designed to be acted on each day immediately after release; delayed execution may result in reduced signal efficiency as market conditions evolve and may incur losses in capital.

Rotation rule (Prime)

Prime rotation is designed to be used when the medium-term trend signal is bullish. When the medium-term trend signal is bullish at +0.2 or higher, begin allocating according to the rotation table (asset + allocation percentage). When the medium-term trend signal turns bearish at -0.2, cut all allocations.

Medium-term trend thresholds (rotation gate)

  • 0.0 = Neutral: hold and prepare to take action
  • +0.2 = Entry level: bullish signal (begin allocating by the rotation table)
  • +0.5 = Conservative confirmation: for users who prefer waiting for stronger confirmation (maximum)
  • +1.0 = Full consensus between all data inputs. A +1 reading may reflect either bullish continuation or a transition toward mean-reverting conditions, depending on the broader market state.
  • -0.2 = Bearish signal: preference is to cut all allocations as this was the intended threshold for cutting. Holding past here may incur unnecessary risk.
  • -0.5 = Stronger bearish confirmation level
  • -1.0 = Full consensus between all data inputs. A -1 reading may reflect either bearish continuation or a transition toward mean-reverting conditions, depending on the broader market state.

Risk-off anchor (EUR / USD / Gold)

When the medium-term trend signal turns bearish, Prime uses the dominant denominator table: a relative strength rotation between EUR, USD, and Gold. This is designed to keep capital positioned in the strongest defensive denominator during risk-off environments.

Small-cap outperformance indicator (Prime)

Prime includes a small-cap outperformance indicator. This signal is designed to indicate when small caps are outperforming. It is intended to be used only when the medium-term trend signal is already bullish (entry level or higher). any usage of the small cap outperformance indicator without confirmation from the medium term trend probability indicator is extremely risky and discouraged.

Small-cap thresholds

  • 0.0 = Neutral
  • +0.2 = Entry level: indicates small-cap outperformance (use only if the medium-term trend signal is bullish)
  • +0.5 = Conservative confirmation: for users who prefer waiting for stronger confirmation (maximum)
  • +1.0 = Full consensus between all data inputs. A +1 reading may reflect either bullish continuation or a transition toward mean-reverting conditions, depending on the broader market state.
  • -0.2 = Bearish signal: preference is to cut as this was the intended threshold for cutting. Holding past here may incur unnecessary risk.
  • -0.5 = Stronger bearish confirmation level
  • -1.0 = Full consensus between all data inputs. A -1 reading may reflect either bearish continuation or a transition toward mean-reverting conditions, depending on the broader market state.

Risk control rule (small caps)

  • Use only if the medium-term trend signal is bullish at +0.2 or higher. Otherwise it is very risky.
  • Allocating more than 20% of total capital into small caps is extreme risk. Small caps can go to 0 very fast and never recover again.
