Today’s session delivered mixed results across our automated NQ strategies (Volturon and Nexum), with some wins offset by stops in what turned out to be another challenging day.
The primary reason trading has been tougher lately — and especially today — is the sharp escalation in geopolitical risk from the ongoing U.S./Israel-Iran conflict. Oil prices surged 6–13% on fears of Strait of Hormuz disruptions, pushing the VIX up sharply (closing near 23.57 after hitting 28+ intraday). This created classic risk-off volatility: big swings, false breakouts, and no sustained trend for momentum-based systems to ride cleanly.
These kinds of headline-driven, high-volatility environments are exactly when automated trend/momentum strategies can see more whipsaws, but they’re also precisely why we built in volatility filters and strict risk controls. Our long-term edge remains intact, and we’re monitoring conditions closely with any potential tweaks ready if needed.
If you've been deploying Nexum in accordance with its recommended settings, you've been protected by the inexplicable movements. That said, it may be wise to stay on the sidelines until some clarity regarding world events are made known.
