Program Info
Quantum Price Action Futures (QPAF) is a systematic, intraday liquid alpha strategy designed to capture high-probability price-action sequences across global futures markets. While the program is currently focused on the S&P 500 E-Mini and E-Micro (ES/MES) to demonstrate edge and execution consistency, the underlying logic is instrument-agnostic. The strategy is built on a roadmap to expand into highly liquid Commodity, Crypto, Treasury, and other Index futures.
QPAF identifies short-term structural inefficiencies through a proprietary framework that is 90% systematic and 10% discretionary. The investment style is categorized as Short Term, Global Macro, and Multistrategy. This approach provides investors with a "Crisis Alpha" profile, specifically designed to deliver non-correlated returns during periods of broad market volatility. The strategy maintains a strong negative correlation to equity benchmarks.
Risk Management
The QPAF risk management framework is anchored by a "Flat-at-Close" requirement, which aims to minimize overnight gap risk. This discipline aims to avoid adverse exposure to the price gaps that can occur between market sessions.
Discretionary Oversight: The 10% discretionary component allows for human oversight of algorithmic integrity and risk protocols.
Governance: As CIO, Allen Kaplun oversees all risk protocols and regulatory compliance, bridging foundational market principles with modern execution technology.
Compliance Oversight: The firm engages outside legal counsel specifically for NFA compliance and regulatory governance.
Technical Integrity: All strategies undergo exhaustive testing by the firm's quantitative and software engineering team prior to deployment to ensure algorithmic stability.
Transparency: The strategy is offered via Managed Accounts, aiming to provide allocators with real-time transparency and liquidity.
