Algotoria Spike Diversified

Algotoria’s dormant-by-design spike-capture strategy, run by the Algotoria Spike neural-network engine: it trades up to 40 high-liquidity perpetual futures only when model conviction is exceptional. Its capital is held in a collateral book built to reduce the account’s dependence on US Treasuries and the US dollar as a store of value: 50% at all times outside US-dollar-backed assets, in tokenised gold, a tokenised S&P 500 ETF and bitcoin weighted by inverse volatility, and 50% in two yield-bearing US-dollar stablecoins, backed largely by US Treasury bills, so their yield rises and falls with Treasury-bill rates. It is delivered through non-custodial Separately Managed Accounts (SMA) or Managed Sub-Accounts (MSA), so the investor keeps custody. Simulated results: no client money has been managed under it yet.

Out of sample from 1 July 2026: the models and every rule and parameter were fixed before that date, so later months were never used to choose anything; earlier months are a walk-forward simulation whose settings were chosen on that same history. The collateral rule is the exception: it was chosen on data to 30 June 2026 but adopted in October 2026, after these months had been observed.

Signal: 18-model ensemble

Simulated execution for a constant $10 M book on OKX: every order sized and capped as if the book were $10 M, filled on the historical 1-second order book 30 seconds after each signal, entries and exits alike, under the production execution loop, taker fees included; returns compounded. Restated in early November 2026 to a 30-second signal-to-order latency applied inside the engine (ML-0025 / ML-0026); the figures of 20 October 2026 are superseded.

Drawdowns of the strategy and of Bitcoin are measured on five-minute paths with the adjusted definition, peak and trough each confirmed over 24 hours, with the raw maximum drawdown beside it. BITA Crypto 10, gold and the S&P 500 have only daily closes over this window, so their columns show the raw drawdown, which also sets their duration, ulcer index and Calmar ratio. The tiles above read the same figures.

Drawdown is read together with duration. Half of the collateral is held outside US-dollar-backed assets to diversify away from the dollar, not to make drawdowns shallower: that half adds market risk of its own, and the simulated drawdown is deeper than Algotoria Spike Stable’s.

Collateral[16]

Yield-bearing stablecoins[17] for 50% of the collateral and, for the other 50%, tokenised gold, a tokenised S&P 500 ETF and bitcoin held outside US-dollar-backed assets, weighted by inverse volatility within fixed limits; both halves held at all times. Algotoria manages the whole book; clients deposit and withdraw in USDT.

Rules, limits and exclusions
Half outside the US dollar, at all times
The collateral has two halves. 50% is held in the yield-bearing US-dollar stablecoins RLUSD and USDG, in equal parts. 50% is held outside US-dollar-backed assets, in tokenised gold (XAUT and PAXG in halves), xSPY, a tokenised S&P 500 ETF, and bitcoin. The purpose is to reduce the account’s dependence on US Treasuries and the US dollar as a store of value, as protection against the dollar’s debasement: this is diversification, not a hedge or a guarantee. The basket is held at all times: it is not switched on or off by market conditions or by the account’s drawdown. Every instrument is held on OKX and accepted by the venue as margin, so the whole book sits in the account that margins the trading book.
Inverse-volatility weighting within fixed limits
Inside the non-dollar half each asset is weighted in inverse proportion to its realised volatility over the previous 90 days, so that no single asset dominates the basket’s risk: the more volatile an asset has just been, the smaller its share. The targets are capped at 30% of the collateral for gold, 40% for xSPY and 30% for bitcoin; any excess is spread over the other assets. The rule is non-discretionary.
Re-weighting and the share held outside the dollar
The basket is re-weighted once a quarter, at the first day-end of each calendar quarter (UTC). Between quarters a leg is traded back to its target only once it has drifted more than 20% of its own weight away, so the share held outside US-dollar-backed assets moves with prices between re-weights; the mandate keeps it between 45% and 55% on average. In the simulation it averaged 50.5% and ranged from 44.8% to 54.5%. The shares shown above are those held on 30 September 2026, from the targets set at the re-weight of 1 July 2026.
US equities still carry US risk
xSPY is exposure to the US stock market, so it still carries US geopolitical and policy risk, although many of the companies in the S&P 500 are globally diversified and earn a large share of their revenue outside the United States. The diversification away from the US dollar therefore rests mainly on gold and bitcoin.
The yield given up
Gold, xSPY and bitcoin earn no yield, so the book earns the stablecoin rewards on only half of its collateral: about half of the yield of a stablecoin-only book, roughly 2 percentage points of NAV a year.
Liquidity
Execution is staged against venue liquidity: no single day’s trade in any instrument exceeds 10% of that pair’s 30-day median turnover on OKX, and any remainder carries forward.
What the basket does not hold
No single stocks, no crypto-linked equities, no leveraged or inverse tokens and no altcoins: equity exposure is index exposure, and bitcoin is the only crypto-asset in the collateral.
Performance measure
Gains and losses on the collateral, including the basket, count in the performance measure (NAV-Based Method).
Margin treatment
Each instrument is accepted as margin at a discount set by the exchange, which can change it. At the first tier the venue currently counts 98% of the value of the stablecoins, 98% of bitcoin, 95% of XAUT, 85% of PAXG and 97% of xSPY, and less at larger holdings. With half of the book in these assets, a sharp fall in them reduces the margin available to the strategy during a shock; the margin headroom is monitored, and new positions may be declined when the stressed margin is thin.

Trading signal

A neural-network signal rather than a rules book: one conviction score per instrument, a deliberately high entry bar and a full exit stack on every position. Beside it: the strategy’s capacity and how it executes.

How the signal works

Each instrument is analysed continuously, around the clock, by a proprietary neural network that reads horizons from order-flow detail up to multi-week context and reduces them to a single directional conviction score. Every instrument has its own direction model, deployed as a multi-seed ensemble so that no individual training run can drive a trade. A separate model forecasts near-term volatility; it never opens a position and feeds the capital-preservation overlay below. Algotoria Spike Diversified changes only the collateral: the signal is the same as Algotoria Spike Stable’s.

Entry: a deliberately high bar[23]
A position opens only when conviction clears a high entry threshold, fixed in research on strictly historical data and then frozen. In simulation the bar is cleared on roughly 64 days a year, typically on one or two instruments at a time. Size is proportional to conviction, within fixed per-instrument weights and the 3× gross exposure cap.
Crash-candle entry guard[24]
At every completed five-minute candle the strategy takes the median return of the five altcoin legs over the last candle and over the last three. If the one-candle median is −5% or worse, or the three-candle median −8% or worse, no new altcoin entry is opened at the next boundary. The guard never closes a position and never touches Bitcoin or Ethereum. It is a protection, not a modelled edge: it costs about 13 percentage points of annual return against the single-candle rule it extends.
Exits
Every position carries a full exit stack from the moment it opens: a volatility-scaled stop-loss, a take-profit, a trailing profit lock, a hard time-stop and exit on signal reversal. Each is enforced in code. Holding periods are typically measured in hours.
Capital-preservation overlay
The overlay rests the book after an exceptionally strong day and resumes trading, at normal size, once the volatility model’s average forecast over the previous day rises above its own long-run median. In simulation it is load-bearing for the drawdown bar.
Traded instruments[21]
The strategy may trade up to 40 USDT-margined perpetual futures, and the Investment Committee may widen the set at any time. The simulated record trades 7: Bitcoin, Ethereum and five major altcoins. All seven legs are long/flat; the strategy never goes short.
Execution[25]
Algotoria Spike trades as a taker, not maker-first. Its signals fall at the start of fast moves, when an order resting in the book is filled mainly by the trades that turn against it. Orders are price-protected and marketable. Stop-losses and take-profits stay inside the strategy; none rests at the exchange. Leverage cap 3×, selectable at 3×, 2× or 1×; about 64 deployment days and about 156 trades a year; positions typically last hours.

Methodology and sources

Returns
Daily time-weighted returns in USDT over UTC days, from 1 January 2024 to 31 October 2026. Monthly, yearly and rolling figures compound the daily returns; CAGR annualises the full period.
Fee bases
Net 30 and Net 25 are modelled from the gross simulated curve by deducting a 30% or 25% fee on profit above the rolling, post-fee high watermark, settled quarterly. The assumed collateral yield is included, as it is in the fee base of the NAV-Based Method. They are not taken from a fee-paying account.
Simulation
The production trading engine on exchange market data under execution profile close-5m-v1: decisions only on completed five-minute candles, stop-losses and take-profits tested against the bar’s close, every fill at the following boundary, and no stop or take-profit resting at the exchange. Execution is simulated for a constant $10 M book on OKX, taker fees and market impact included, at 3× gross exposure.
Walk-forward
Fold models are trained on all data from January 2021 up to each fold’s cut (the same convention as the deployed models), the last cut being 1 July 2026; after it the models of the same walk-forward run with a training cut of 1 July 2026, fixed since. The signal is the mean of 18 models trained from different random seeds, none of which was used to select any parameter. The entry threshold was selected on data to 30 June 2026 and frozen on 21 August 2026. From 1 July 2026 the record is out of sample: the models and every rule were fixed before that date, nothing was re-selected on the later months, and those months were scored once, in a pre-registered reading.
Collateral basket
The collateral is simulated day by day: 50% in RLUSD and USDG in equal parts, and 50% in tokenised gold (XAUT and PAXG in halves), xSPY and bitcoin, each weighted in inverse proportion to its realised volatility over the previous 90 days with the targets capped at 30% of the collateral for gold, 40% for xSPY and 30% for bitcoin, re-weighted at the first day-end of each calendar quarter (UTC) and, between quarters, traded back to target only when a leg drifts more than 20% of its own weight away. Basket trades are filled at the OKX day-end close and charged the cost measured in Algotoria’s collateral execution study of 27 September 2026 (patient maker orders on OKX spot, at the sleeve sizes of a $10 M book, queue limits included); before xSPY and PAXG listed on OKX the simulation prices the S&P 500 and gold. The book is credited through the collateral ledger, including the basket’s own gains and losses.
Collateral yield
Idle collateral earns the venue’s stablecoin rewards, credited day by day through a collateral ledger together with the gains and losses of the volatility-weighted basket; for Algotoria Spike Stable, on stablecoins alone, the credit is about 4.2 percentage points a year over the window. A series without this yield is never published.
Drawdown
Adjusted drawdown with the 24-hour peak and trough tests, on five-minute paths: the strategy’s equity path for every fee basis, and Bitcoin’s OKX five-minute closes; the raw maximum drawdown is shown beside it, and the drawdown chart plots each day’s lowest reading. BITA Crypto 10, gold and the S&P 500 have no five-minute history over the window: daily closes, raw drawdown. Durations count calendar days from the first day below the adjusted peak to the day it is regained, or to 31 October 2026 where still open.
Ratios
Sharpe and Sortino use the US 3-month Treasury yield (FRED GS3M), 4.45% on average over the period; volatility scales daily returns by √252.
Data and updates
Figures as of 31 October 2026, generated 3 November 2026; updated monthly. The simulation is extended at every month-end. Account and term facts are dated where they appear.

Definitions and notes

The numbered markers on this page refer to these notes.

  1. How returns are measured Simulated, not traded. The dashed line is a simulation of Algotoria Spike Diversified: hypothetical results that no account achieved. It runs the frozen configuration on the production engine, with the signal generated walk-forward and simulated execution for a constant $10 M book on OKX, taker fees and market impact included; the final configuration was selected on results to 30 June 2026, and the collateral rule was chosen on data within the window. Simulated results have inherent limitations and are not a forecast.Returns are time-weighted, measured daily in USDT over UTC days. USDT is a stablecoin, not the US dollar: its value can move away from 1 USD, and returns measured in dollars or another currency would differ.Every series is rebased to 0% on 1 January 2024, the start of the simulation. Gross figures are before any performance fee. Simulated and past performance are not a guarantee of future results.
  2. Benchmarks Bitcoin: BTC-USDT spot on OKX. BITA Crypto 10 (B10): price-return index of the ten largest cryptocurrencies by trading volume (BITA Crypto 10 Index, BITA GmbH; not sponsored or endorsed by BITA). These two are the primary references.S&P 500 (SPY-USDT-SWAP perpetual on OKX; Investing.com SPY ETF data before 4 March 2026) and gold (PAXG-USDT spot on OKX; Investing.com XAU/USD data before 15 October 2025) are shown for context.Benchmarks are unmanaged and bear no fees or trading costs; an index cannot be invested in directly. Risk-free rate for Sharpe and Sortino: US 3-month Treasury yield (FRED GS3M), 4.45% on average.
  3. Gross, Net 30 and Net 25 Gross is the simulated return before any performance fee.Net 30 and Net 25 deduct a 30% or 25% fee on net trading profit above the rolling, post-fee high watermark, settled quarterly for the quarter just closed. The standard schedule is 30% for an account below 100,000 USDT, falling one point per band to 25% at 1,000,000 USDT and above; an executed contract may set a different rate.Both net paths are modelled from the gross simulated curve, not taken from a fee-paying account. There is no management fee and no hurdle. Benchmarks carry no fee and read the same in every mode. All switches on this page move together.
  4. Adjusted drawdown Drawdowns on this page use Algotoria’s adjusted definition, which tests both ends of a fall over 24 hours.Peak: a new high counts only at the lowest balance of the following 24 hours, and the accepted peak never falls.Trough: a low counts at full depth only if the account is still at or below it 24 hours later; if it has recovered, the level 24 hours on is used.The strategy and Bitcoin are measured on five-minute paths, so a crash candle reversed within 24 hours counts at the level 24 hours later; the raw maximum drawdown beside it counts every low in full. BITA Crypto 10, gold and the S&P 500 have only daily closes here, where a 24-hour test confirms nothing, so they show the raw drawdown alone. Figures are gross; net drawdowns are larger by construction.
  5. Raw max drawdown The deepest fall below the running peak, with no 24-hour test at either end: every five-minute low counts in full, including a crash candle that recovered within the day. It is shown beside the adjusted figure. For a daily column it is the only drawdown measure, read on daily closes.
  6. Monthly returns Calendar-month time-weighted returns of the simulated track in USDT, on UTC days. Year compounds the months of that year; Since simulation start is the cumulative return from 1 January 2024 to the year’s last month shown.
  7. Rolling returns Trailing time-weighted return to 31 October 2026 over each window. CAGR and total return run from 1 January 2024, the start of the simulation.
  8. Current drawdown Adjusted drawdown at the end of the as-of date, measured from the confirmed peak. A low younger than 24 hours cannot be confirmed yet, so it counts at its full depth. A daily column shows its raw drawdown.
  9. Max drawdown duration The longest stretch, in calendar days, from the day the series first fell below its adjusted peak to the day it regained it. Where that stretch is still open on the as-of date, it is counted to that date. A daily column counts from its raw peak.
  10. Ulcer index Root-mean-square of the adjusted drawdown over every five-minute reading (of the raw drawdown over daily closes for a daily column), in percentage points. Unlike maximum drawdown it counts both how deep and how long the series stays under water; lower is better.
  11. Calmar ratio CAGR divided by the raw maximum drawdown over the same period: return per unit of the deepest fall below the running peak, with no 24-hour test, so a crash candle reversed within the day counts in full. Higher is better.
  12. Adjusted Calmar CAGR divided by the adjusted maximum drawdown over the same period, shown beside the Calmar ratio for reference. A daily column has no adjusted drawdown, so it shows a dash.
  13. Sortino ratio CAGR minus the risk-free rate, divided by the annualised standard deviation of losing days (downside deviation, √252 scaling).
  14. Sharpe ratio CAGR minus the risk-free rate, divided by annualised volatility.
  15. Annualised volatility Standard deviation of daily returns, scaled by √252.
  16. Collateral The collateral book is the one thing Algotoria Spike Diversified changes against Algotoria Spike Stable: 50% of the collateral is held at all times outside US-dollar-backed assets, in tokenised gold, a tokenised S&P 500 ETF and bitcoin weighted in inverse proportion to their volatility within fixed limits, and 50% in yield-bearing stablecoins. Its purpose is diversification away from the US dollar as a store of value.The account is funded in USDT, which Algotoria converts into RLUSD and USDG and into the basket. Investors deposit and withdraw in USDT.Collateral yield. The stablecoins earn the venue’s rewards, credited day by day through a collateral ledger together with the basket’s own gains and losses; the basket itself earns no yield. Every Spike series includes this yield, and a series without it is never published.
  17. Stablecoins other than USDT To open USDT-margined perpetual positions, the account may borrow USDT against stablecoins other than USDT, and the borrowed USDT accrues interest at the exchange’s rate, borne by the account. Yield-bearing stablecoins (RLUSD, USDG) typically earn more than this cost, offsetting it and adding to returns. USDT collateral carries no such cost.
  18. Limits on the basket The most each asset class of the basket may hold, as a share of the collateral, when the targets are set at a quarterly re-weight: an inverse-volatility target above its limit is cut back to it and the excess spread over the other classes. Between re-weights the shares move with prices, within the 20% drift band. Stablecoins are uncapped: they are how clients fund the account and how trading profits arrive.
  19. Minimums and risk tiers Three risk tiers are chosen at onboarding: High (35% drawdown budget, maximum leverage 3×, minimum 50,000 USDT), Medium (25%, 2×, 100,000 USDT) and Conservative (15%, 1×, 150,000 USDT). Lower tiers scale leverage down; signal and execution are otherwise identical. They need a larger minimum because per-account operating costs do not fall with leverage. Spike Diversified’s budgets sit five points above Spike Stable’s to allow for the volatility of its collateral.
  20. Drawdown budget The investor selects the budget at 15%, 25% or 35%. The default is 35% at 3× gross exposure, and the simulated record on this page is not an account run at any of these budgets. It is a monitored ceiling, not an automatic stop. Alerts fire at 60%, 80% and 100% of it; at two-thirds the Investment Committee reviews the account and decides case by case whether to reduce risk; at the full budget the client elects to continue, lower the budget or stop.The Committee may also run the strategy below the budget, down to 0%, and restore it later; returns are then proportionally lower. The budget is not a guarantee and can be exceeded.
  21. Investment universe The strategy may trade up to 40 USDT-margined perpetual futures, and the Investment Committee may widen the set at any time. The simulated record trades 7: Bitcoin, Ethereum and five major altcoins. All seven legs are long/flat; the strategy never goes short.
  22. Capacity Capacity $10 million on OKX under the published execution policy: the figures on this page are simulated at a constant $10 million book, every order sized and capped as if the book were $10 million and filled on the historical order book under the production execution loop (Algotoria’s capacity study, October 2026). Larger accounts need their own assessment.
  23. Leverage and concentration Gross leverage is capped at 3×, enforced at entry; the cap is touched briefly and is not an operating level. It can be selected per account at 3×, 2× or 1×.Concentration limits scale with the leverage selected: on a 1× basis Bitcoin and Ethereum are each held to at most 35% of net asset value (105% at 3×) and any other instrument to 10% (30% at 3×), with the whole book at most 100% (300% at 3×).
  24. Crash-candle entry guard The guard was sized on the crash candles of 3 February 2025 and 10 October 2025. It blocks new altcoin entries only: it never closes a position and never touches Bitcoin or Ethereum.It is a protection, not a modelled edge: it costs about 13 percentage points of annual return against the single-candle rule it extends.
  25. Execution Taker: price-protected marketable orders at the decision, completed within minutes. No maker/taker mix is measured, because the strategy has no real account. Stop-losses and take-profits stay inside the strategy.
  26. NAV-Based Method Net trading profit is the change in the account’s aggregate USDT-equivalent net asset value, adjusted for net inflows and fees. Collateral gains and losses are inside the performance measure, which is the correct treatment when Algotoria manages the collateral.

Everything to verify this strategy independently

No exchange statements exist for this strategy: its record is simulated and no account has traded it.

Diversification away from the dollar costs depth

Half of the collateral is held in gold, equities and bitcoin at all times, including while the account is down, so a sell-off that reaches them and the trading book together adds the basket’s loss to the engine’s and deepens or lengthens a drawdown. The simulation’s deepest adjusted drawdown is −4.2%, against −1.2% for Algotoria Spike Stable, and its Adjusted Calmar 9.55 against 22.73. Its longest spell below a previous peak lasted 94 days, against 78 for Spike Stable. The risk framework limits a drawdown to under 180 days for every strategy, with a target of under 100 days; on this line both are within the limit and under the target. Both spells begin in the second quarter of 2026. In research on a 2020-type market the basket would have deepened the March 2020 drawdown by 4 to 11 percentage points. The investor drawdown budget is 35% at the default 3×, a monitored ceiling, not a guarantee, and it can be exceeded; size the allocation on the budget, not on the simulated figure.

Crypto is volatile, and this strategy is leveraged

The strategy trades leveraged crypto perpetual futures and posts yield-bearing stablecoins and a basket of tokenised gold, a tokenised S&P 500 ETF and bitcoin as collateral; each token is a claim on its issuer. Its annualised volatility in simulation is 14.1%, against 38.8% for Bitcoin and 14.7% for the S&P 500. Losses can arrive quickly and last for months.

What is Algotoria Spike Diversified?
It is the Algotoria Spike neural-network engine on a managed collateral book that holds half of its value outside US-dollar-backed assets at all times: 50% in tokenised gold, a tokenised S&P 500 ETF and bitcoin, each weighted in inverse proportion to its volatility within fixed limits, and 50% in yield-bearing US-dollar stablecoins backed largely by US Treasury bills. Its purpose is to reduce the account’s dependence on US Treasuries and the US dollar as a store of value. The signal, the instruments, the caps and the exits are the same as Algotoria Spike Stable’s.

How does Spike Diversified differ from Spike Stable?
The collateral is the only difference; both take the same trades. Spike Stable holds equal halves of two yield-bearing stablecoins. Spike Diversified holds the same two, in equal parts, for 50% of its collateral and puts the other 50% in tokenised gold, xSPY and bitcoin, weighted by inverse volatility. The line published on this page is a single path: its compound annual return is 40.5% against 27.8% for Spike Stable, its Adjusted Calmar 9.55 against 22.73 and its adjusted maximum drawdown −4.2% against −1.2%.

Is it the same as Algotoria Classic Diversified?
No. The same collateral word does not mean the same collateral. Algotoria Classic Diversified posts a collateral book of stablecoins and a substantial Bitcoin share; Algotoria Spike Diversified holds 50% of its collateral in yield-bearing stablecoins and 50% outside US-dollar-backed assets, in tokenised gold, a tokenised S&P 500 ETF and bitcoin.

Why are the figures simulated, and what was the rule tested on?
Neither Spike strategy has managed client money yet. Their records are replays of the Algotoria Spike signal, generated walk-forward, through the production trading engine on exchange candles, so they show how the design would have behaved, not what an investor earned. The 50% share outside the US dollar is the mandate, set by Algotoria; the rule’s other parameters were chosen on data within the simulation window, so its figures are a hypothesis. The rule now runs a paper-forward test whose criteria were registered before the data they will be read on exists.
Why do the figures include yield on idle collateral?
Because the collateral earns it. The stablecoins earn the rewards that RLUSD and USDG pay on the venue; the simulation credits them day by day through a collateral ledger, together with the gains and losses of the gold, xSPY and bitcoin basket, which itself earns no yield. For Algotoria Spike Stable, whose collateral is stablecoins only, the ledger credits about 4.2 percentage points of NAV a year over the window; Spike Diversified earns the rewards on half as much stablecoin collateral, about 2 percentage points a year less.

How is drawdown measured, and what is the budget?
With Algotoria’s adjusted drawdown, on the five-minute equity path. A new peak is accepted only at the lowest value seen over the following 24 hours, and a low counts at full depth only if the account is still at or below it 24 hours later, so neither a transient print nor a crash candle reversed within the day sets the figure. The raw maximum drawdown, which counts every five-minute low in full, is shown beside it in the risk table. Returns are untouched. The investor selects the drawdown budget at 35%, 25% or 15%, the top tier at the full 3× gross exposure, and a fall in the collateral basket counts against it like a trading loss. It is a monitored ceiling, not a guarantee, and can be exceeded; the simulated record on this page is not an account run at any of these budgets.
What does the collateral basket add, and what does it risk?
It moves half of the collateral away from the US dollar and its stablecoin issuers, into gold, equities and bitcoin. Its purpose is collateral diversification and a partial hedge against the debasement of the US dollar, not a higher risk-adjusted return: on the line published here its Adjusted Calmar is below Algotoria Spike Stable’s and its adjusted maximum drawdown deeper. The basket adds market risk that a stablecoin-only book does not carry: it is held at all times, so a sell-off that hits gold, equities, bitcoin and the engine together deepens or lengthens a drawdown, and in a 2020-type market it would have deepened the March 2020 drawdown by 4 to 11 percentage points and lengthened the 2022 one. It earns no yield, so about half of the stablecoin yield is given up. xSPY is exposure to the US stock market and still carries US geopolitical risk, although many S&P 500 companies are globally diversified. The volatility weighting shrinks whichever asset has just become volatile; it reduces the risk, it does not remove it.

What has to happen before it launches?
Three things: Algotoria Spike must pass its forward gate; the collateral rule must pass its own paper-forward test, registered on 10 October 2026 and read not before 1 January 2027, after which Algotoria decides on its promotion; and the venue’s collateral terms and the account’s VIP status are confirmed on the account before capital is committed.
How is the performance fee calculated?
Algotoria Spike Diversified uses the NAV-Based Method of the Asset Management Agreement (§1.1.18(a)). Net trading profit for the quarter is P = E − MAX(B, HW) − I: the closing USDT value of everything in the account (E), less the higher of the opening value (B) and the rolling high watermark (HW), less net deposits (I). The standard fee is 30% of that profit for an account below 100,000 USDT, falling to 25% at 1,000,000 USDT and above; it is charged quarterly and only on new profit above the high watermark, so losses carry forward until they are recovered. There is no management fee, hurdle or lock-in. Collateral gains and losses, including the basket’s, count in the fee base. The Net 30 and Net 25 views on this page model this rule from the gross simulated curve.

Who holds the capital, and how do I register interest?
The investor. Both strategies are delivered through non-custodial Separately Managed Accounts (SMA) or Managed Sub-Accounts (MSA), so the account and its collateral stay in the investor’s name throughout. Professional investors (as defined by SIBA) can register interest through their Algotoria contact or the form on this page; registered parties are informed of each strategy’s forward-test outcome and of any launch decision.
