Market-Agnostic. Fully Automated.
Built for Volatility.
Clearmind's options-buying algo. Trades volatility on predefined rules, fully automated.
Absolute returns through volatility
Optimus buys options systematically when markets move fast, up or down.
Enters when movement accelerates and pricing gaps appear.
Options positions follow confirmed trend signals.
Trades bull and bear setups without a directional bias.
Each trade risks a fixed amount; payoff can be asymmetric.
The strategy does not trade continuously. It activates when predefined data-driven signals align.
This is selective participation, not constant exposure.
Structured options buying on index derivatives
Optimus primarily operates through index options, using a pure options-buying framework.
In simple terms, options buying allows the strategy to take defined-risk positions when volatility and directional momentum align. This enables:
- Participation in both bullish and bearish marketsBy deploying call or put options based on signal direction.
- Defined downside per tradeThe maximum loss is limited to the premium paid for each position.
- Asymmetric payoff potentialWhen markets move sharply, gains can significantly exceed the initial capital deployed in that trade.
However, options buying comes with important realities:
- Monthly returns can fluctuate meaningfully.
- The strategy may have a lower win rate compared to traditional investing.
- Profitability depends on payoff asymmetry, not trade accuracy alone.
Our live performance metrics indicate:
This means fewer winning trades - but larger average gains relative to losses.
In options strategies, discipline matters more than accuracy. Structure ensures consistency, not constant winning.
Structure ensures discipline - not accuracy alone.
