Question 1

What is Sigmatic's approach to trading?

Accepted Answer

Sigmatic applies a systematic, rules-based framework to build and execute portfolios. Every decision follows predefined quantitative rules — there are no discretionary or emotional trades.

Question 2

How is risk managed?

Accepted Answer

Risk is measured before every trade and at the portfolio level. Position sizing, dynamic exposure, daily loss limits and an automatic kill switch operate continuously. Internal objectives target a maximum portfolio drawdown under 9% and a maximum daily drawdown under 4%. These are internal objectives, not guarantees.

Question 3

Can I trade with my own capital or a prop firm?

Accepted Answer

Both. You can run the strategy on your own brokerage account or on a supported proprietary trading firm account. Your capital stays in your own account at all times.

Question 4

Do you guarantee returns?

Accepted Answer

No. The objective is to maximise the probability of long-term compounding while controlling downside risk. Risk objectives are internal targets, not guarantees. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Question 5

What validation does a strategy go through before going live?

Accepted Answer

Every strategy passes research, statistical validation, backtesting, walk-forward testing, portfolio construction and risk allocation before live execution — and is continuously monitored and reviewed thereafter.

Question 6

Is there a long-term commitment?

No long-term commitment. You can start with a free trial and cancel anytime.
