Hedged columns are the rule-enforced model: every doubled position is force-closed at its option expiry (30 days); positions the real account held longer are closed in the model at the expiry-date spot. Premiums are priced at the bid/ask midpoint; a worst-case full-spread variant is disclosed on the Hedge Report as an execution sensitivity. Per-event actual-vs-model divergence is disclosed on the Hedge Report.

Strategy Overview

Mean-reversion algorithm trading 25 FX pairs with options-based tail risk hedging. When the algorithm doubles position size, a 30-day strangle (put + call, 1% OTM) is modeled: the protective side caps loss at ~3% of doubled notional plus the premium, enforced by a mandatory close at option expiry. Spot fills are real (22 consecutive profitable months unhedged); the hedge overlay is simulated and has cost -10.6% of spot P&L under the rule-enforced model, including 3 negative overlay months. See the Hedge Report for the full cost breakdown and per-event disclosures.
