THE WEEK AT A GLANCE
Subject: Strategy Suite Highlights – Week of March 16, 2026
Good evening,
Here are some of this week’s highlights.
THE WEEK AT A GLANCE
This was one of the most volatile weeks of 2026. The Iran conflict escalated sharply, oil swung between $93 and $112+, the Fed held rates steady while warning that energy prices could keep inflation elevated, and Friday’s Triple Witching and S&P 500 rebalance piled mechanical volatility on top of an already chaotic tape. All three major indexes logged a fourth straight weekly loss, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting their lowest levels since November.
SESSION HIGHLIGHTS
Tuesday (3/17) — Choppy, low-conviction session ahead of the Fed.
• Volturon: Hit profit target (first live session with new auto-sizing)
• Nexum: Two trades, small profit
• Quantivus: Stopped out
• Parallax: Stopped out
Thursday (3/19) — Dramatic V-reversal after Iran/Qatar LNG headlines flipped on Strait of Hormuz reopening news.
• Volturon: Stopped out
• Nexum: One losing trade, then sat out
• Quantivus: Hit profit target
• Parallax: Hit profit target
Friday (3/20) — Triple Witching + war escalation. Sim session (no live capital at risk).
• Volturon: Flat (stop removed for testing; trade recovered to breakeven by close)
• Nexum: One losing trade at 11:00 AM, then sat out
• Quantivus: Small profit
• Parallax: Small profit
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The suite’s diversification worked as designed this week. Tuesday favored Volturon’s momentum approach while the follow-through strategies stopped out. Thursday was the mirror image — Quantivus and Parallax thrived on the big reversal while Volturon’s early entry got caught. Friday’s sim session gave us stress-test data in an extreme environment, and both Quantivus and Parallax still managed small gains on a day the Nasdaq fell nearly 2%.
We’re also auditing Nexum’s AI learning data to remove patterns absorbed from recent abnormal sessions. Think of it as routine maintenance — making sure the system is learning from quality market behavior, not headline-driven chaos.
Volturon’s new auto-sizing logic performed well in its debut on Tuesday. But it is also a knife that can cut both ways, so you always want to make sure settings are properly adjusted. Friday’s sim experiment only confirmed that the strategy can recover from a large drawdown, which provides little assuage to the trader who was stopped out just before the recovery. Clearly, it is always best to set daily stop losses, because in the bigger picture, those stops are winners. "A penny saved is a penny earned", as Ben Franklin once said.
Monday is another day. Enjoy your weekend!
