How It Works

The mechanics behind

every trade we place.

Kronos runs three uncorrelated algorithmic models across futures markets. Each model operates independently — when one draws down, the others remain unaffected. This is the structural edge that most retail traders can't replicate.
Model 01
Trend Following

Captures sustained directional moves across equity index futures. Designed to run through volatility without premature exits.

Model 02
Mean Reversion

Exploits short-term overextensions in commodity and bond futures. Works best in range-bound, choppy market conditions.

Model 03
Volatility Harvesting

Systematic options premium collection on the VIX complex. Activated only when structural conditions meet strict criteria.

Risk Management

Hard rules.
No discretion. No exceptions.

Position Sizing
Each trade risks a fixed, pre-defined fraction of total equity. Risk per trade is never manually overridden — the system sizes itself.
Drawdown Circuit Breakers
If a model hits a predefined monthly drawdown threshold, it pauses automatically. Trading resumes only after a systematic reset condition is met.
Correlation Control
The three models are tested quarterly for inter-correlation. If correlation drifts above 0.35, the allocation is rebalanced immediately.
Execution & Custody
All trades execute via Interactive Brokers. Client capital stays in each client's own account at all times. We hold limited power of attorney for trade execution only.

Why Kronos

Most algorithmic services fail

for predictable reasons.

We've spent five years studying why investors in this space lose money — and building Kronos around the opposite of every one of those failure points.
The industry standard
Backtested results, often cherry-picked. No live performance data beyond 12 months. Equity curves that look perfect until they don't.
Kronos
5 years of live, TradeZella-verified returns. Every month published — including the losing ones. No smoothing, no exclusions.
The industry standard
Your money pooled with other clients. You don't know your real balance until you try to withdraw. Counterparty risk you can't audit.
Kronos
Your capital stays in your own Interactive Brokers account. You can log in and see your balance in real time. We execute — you own.
The industry standard
A single strategy. Works in a bull market. Struggles the moment conditions shift. No correlation management, no circuit breakers.
Kronos
Three uncorrelated models across different market conditions. Drawdown circuit breakers. Quarterly correlation audits. Structural diversification, not hope.
The industry standard
Management fee regardless of outcome. You pay whether they win or lose. Their interests and yours aren't aligned.
Kronos
Performance fee only. If you don't make money, we don't make money. Our compensation is structurally aligned with your outcome — not our AUM.
The bottom line

We built the service
we wished existed.

Alex started Kronos after losing capital in two other algorithmic services — both of which failed the basic due diligence questions this page now answers. Every design decision here traces back to those losses. That's why this page exists, why the data is unfiltered, and why we show you the losing months first.

15 minutes. One answer.

You're close. But there's one thing you haven't been able to answer from the materials. Write your question when you book — we read it before the call.

What is the minimum investment? +
Our minimum allocation is $25,000. This threshold exists because the strategy's risk management is calibrated to position sizes that require sufficient capital to function correctly.
Is my capital locked up? +
No lock-up period. Capital can be withdrawn with standard broker processing times, typically 3–5 business days. We do ask for 30 days notice as a courtesy to allow orderly position management.
How is Kronos compensated? +
Performance fee only. We do not charge management fees. If you don't make money, we don't make money. Our alignment with client outcomes is structural, not a marketing claim.
Where is my money held? +
Your capital remains in your own brokerage account at all times. We operate via limited power of attorney for trade execution only. You retain full custody of your funds.
What happens during a losing period? +
Drawdowns are a normal part of any trading strategy. Our maximum historical drawdown is 14.2%. During losing periods, we send weekly reports with full transparency on open positions, risk exposure, and recovery trajectory.
Can I speak to existing clients? +
Yes. We can connect you with two to three existing clients who have agreed to speak with prospective investors. This is arranged after an initial discovery call.

Question 01

Do you have at least $25,000 in available capital ready to allocate to live trading?

Yes, I have $25,000 or more ready to allocate
B
No, I don't have $25,000 available right now

Your capital stays in your account at all times. We just need it accessible — not locked, pending, or restricted.
A
Yes, it's liquid and available now
B
No, it's tied up or won't be available within 30 days
Question 03

If this is the right fit, are you financially ready to move forward?

There's an upfront license fee to join. No trials, no subscriptions. This is for people serious about a real solution.
A

B
I'm not sure — I'll confirm before our call
C
