The Strategy

What is Sigma 7?

Sigma 7 is an algorithmic trading software module designed to capture the liquidity premium in digital asset derivatives markets. It identifies temporary price dislocations, deploys capital through structured limit-order grids, and exits through take-profit levels as prices normalise. It does not forecast direction. It gets paid for being present when the market needs a counterparty.

01
Systematic passive liquidity provision
Limit orders into dislocation, structured exits on normalisation. No market-taking entries.
02
Liquid digital asset perpetual futures
Universe restricted to venues and instruments with the depth to absorb the strategy.

Assets never leave your account. Volpex holds trade permissions only.

Mechanics

How the engine works

Four operations, running continuously. Each one is a rule, not a judgement call.

01

Detect dislocation

Volatility-regime detection and price-deviation analysis identify where price has moved temporarily away from fair value.

02

Deploy the grid

Capital is placed progressively through structured limit-order grids at predefined entry levels, never as a single market order.

03

Exit on normalisation

Positions are released through structured take-profit grids as price returns to its reference range.

04

Enforce the risk layer

Regime filters, controlled exits and hard drawdown limits are enforced continuously against peak equity.

Operational profile. Mid-frequency execution. Holding period from intraday to several days, contingent on price normalisation. Adaptive position sizing with hard drawdown limits enforced relative to peak equity.
Key Benefits

Built for institutional operation

Custody, control and transparency, without compromising on systematic execution.

Client retains custody

Capital stays in your own exchange account at all times. Volpex receives scoped API access to trade, never to withdraw.

No lockups

No lock-up periods and no minimum holding terms. You control the allocation and can adjust it whenever you choose.

Daily liquidity

Trading runs in your account on liquid venues, so positions and balances stay accessible on a daily basis.

Full audit trail

Every limit order and every fill is recorded on the exchange in your name. The record is independently verifiable.

Non-custodial architecture

Execution happens directly in client-owned accounts via secure API connectivity, with no asset custody or intermediary handling.

Seamless deployment

Rollout across major venues via API or supported sub-account structures, typically completed within days.

Rules over discretion

The engine places and cancels orders on predefined logic. No override, no hesitation, no discretionary bias.

Complete transparency

Direct visibility over balances, positions and activity through the exchange interface and dedicated reporting.

Philosophy

Why passive liquidity provision?

01

The premium is structural

Someone has to quote the other side when flow arrives in size. That service is compensated, and the compensation does not depend on anyone predicting where price goes next.

02

Direction is the hard part

Forecasting is where most strategies break. Sigma 7 removes the forecast from the equation and monetises the mechanics of the order book instead.

03

Consistency compounds

A high hit rate with contained downside compounds faster than an occasional large win. Ninety-five percent of months positive is the result of that design choice.

Sigma 7 does not try to be right about the market. It is paid for being there when the market needs a counterparty, and for leaving before the position becomes a view.

Deployment

From onboarding to live execution

Four steps. Your assets never leave your custody at any point.

1

Connect exchange

Grant scoped API access to your existing account. Trade permissions only, never withdrawal.

2

Set the risk envelope

Define exposure, drawdown limits and allocation alongside our team during onboarding.

3

Engine goes live

Grids are placed and managed directly in your account, continuously and without intervention.

4

Monitor and report

Balances and positions visible in your exchange, plus monthly statements and live PnL.

Non-custodial by design. Volpex receives permission to place and cancel orders, never to move or withdraw funds. Access can be revoked by you at any moment.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Markets pay a small, persistent premium to participants willing to quote both sides and absorb temporary imbalance. Sigma 7 collects that premium systematically by providing passive liquidity into dislocations and releasing it as price normalises. The edge is structural rather than predictive, which is why it does not depend on calling direction.

No. Sigma 7 is non-custodial by design. Capital remains in your own exchange account. Volpex receives scoped API access to place and cancel orders, never to withdraw or transfer, and access can be revoked instantly.

Vector 50 takes directional risk and profits when trends persist. Sigma 7 takes liquidity risk and profits when price reverts to its reference range. They are driven by different inefficiencies. Over the observation window their monthly returns show a correlation of 0.33, which is why many clients run both.

Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget and KuCoin via secure API or supported sub-account structures. Vault deployment on Hyperliquid and Aster is available subject to venue terms and jurisdiction.

Intraday to several days, contingent on price normalisation. Trade frequency is mid-frequency, with adaptive position sizing and hard drawdown limits rather than a fixed schedule.

A 2% annual subscription and a 20% performance fee applied on a high-water-mark basis, billed monthly. Fees apply only to new net profits above the previous peak. Full commercial terms are shared during onboarding.

No. All figures reflect historical observations only, combining model output and live deployment data. Digital asset trading involves significant risk, including the risk of loss.
