Trading instructions
Step-by-step guide to executing Monetary Hedge and TQQQ Momentum signals at your broker, setting up ATR trailing stops, and understanding the daily workflow.
01 · The two models — what each one trades
Monetary Hedge
Trades leveraged Treasury bonds or cash. No equity exposure. Binary signal: in or out.
TQQQ Momentum
Trades 3× Nasdaq-100 or cash based on momentum. Binary signal: in or out.
Each model publishes its signal independently. You can trade one or both. The 50/50 portfolio (Monetary Hedge + TQQQ Momentum) is backed by the annual guarantee: if your 12-month period closes negative, the following year is free.
02 · Daily workflow — when and what to do
Market close
~9:30 PM Spain
NYSE / NASDAQ · 3:30 PM ET · LSE · 5:30 PM London
Signal published
~8:00–9:00 AM Spain
EU morning pipeline (~08:05 UTC) after LSE open · dashboard + stop emails
Execution
During the session
Buy or sell at market price when your broker opens
Same signal as yesterday = no action. Only act when the position changes.
Position change email: new asset and ATR stop. Stop hit or stop triggered email: when the model exits the risk asset (includes opening gaps). Act at the session open indicated in the email.
03 · Step-by-step execution — how to act on a new signal
Receive the email with the new signal
The email arrives ~8:00–9:00 AM Spain. Includes: asset, BUY STOP, ATR stop, and IBKR steps.
Open your broker
Any broker with access to US or EU markets (LSE/Xetra for UCITS versions). Look up the instrument symbol.
If there was a previous position: close it first
Portfolio → previous position → Sell / Close · Market order. Confirm the fill before continuing.
Buy the new asset (100% of allocated capital)
New Order · BUY · market price · Exchange: NYSE Arca / NASDAQ (US) or LSE / Xetra (EU) · 100% of capital allocated to this model.
Confirm the fill and record the entry price
Trades tab or order history → note the fill price. That is your actual entry price, required to calculate the stop.
Place the STP LMT GTC stop at the dashboard level
SELL · STP LMT · Stop: price shown on the dashboard · Limit: Stop × 0.995 · Qty: full position · TIF: GTC.
Every morning: check if the stop changed
The dashboard publishes the updated stop ~8:00–9:00 AM Spain. If it rose vs. yesterday: cancel the previous order and place a new one. If unchanged: no action.
04 · ATR trailing stops — automatic protection
The ATR stop is a sell order placed below market price that rises with price but never falls. It protects accumulated gains without constant monitoring.
How it works
The stop is calculated daily: max_price_since_entry × (1 − trail%). Each day price rises, the stop rises. If price falls, the stop holds.
What is trail %
Percentage distance between the trade's historical high and the stop level. Calculated with ATR(14) to adapt to the asset's volatility.
How to place it
STP LMT · SELL · TIF: GTC (Good Till Cancelled). Stop = dashboard price · Limit = Stop × 0.995 (0.5% slippage buffer).
When to update
Every morning ~8:00–9:00 AM Spain. If the stop rose: cancel the previous order and place a new one at the dashboard level. If unchanged: no action.
Downward gap at the open
STP LMT GTC triggers when stop is touched, but the fill only occurs at the limit price (Stop × 0.995). If the open gaps below both stop and limit, the order may not fill: close manually at market on the open. Vanttax sends an email when the model exits — replicate that exit as soon as possible.
Formula
Stop = max_price_since_entry × (1 − trail%)
Limit = Stop × 0.995 · GTC order (active until filled or cancelled)
The daily stop and trail % appear on the dashboard → "Current allocation" section of each model. For EU, the dashboard shows trail % — calculate the stop level using the max price since your entry at your broker.
