Where mathematics
meets the market.
Q-Cubed Investments deploys a fully autonomous V3 trading system across micro futures and SPX options — powered by 30-variable regime analysis, continuous machine learning, and institutional-grade risk management.
Rules-based rigor.
Zero discretion.
Q-Cubed was built on a single conviction: markets reward systematic discipline and punish emotional decision-making. Every trade is governed by a predefined ruleset — entry, sizing, risk, and exit — with no override capability.
"A self-correcting system that can over-correct is just as dangerous as one that doesn't correct at all. The goal is not optimization — it is calibrated adaptation."
Three engines.
One integrated system.
V3 operates three interconnected subsystems that work in concert, each informing the others through shared regime state and real-time learning loops.
Micro Futures
Engine
Directional conviction trades on MES, MNQ, MYM, and M2K driven by the Panic Index and 30-variable regime classification. ATR-calibrated stops with scale-in capability.
Options Premium
Harvesting
Put credit spreads triggered by Panic Index signals on SPX. 45-strategy catalog across 0DTE and Swing categories. Sosnoff/Khouw methodology with live Tradier pricing.
Q-Cubed Panic
Index™
Composite fear gauge built from VIX, VVIX, SKEW, and term structure — scored 0–10 on 2-year rolling percentiles. The signal layer that drives both futures and options entries.
20.9 years of auditable history.
Phase 2.5 backtest results across 272 trades from January 2005 through February 2026. All parameters are locked. No curve-fitting. All instruments qualify for Section 1256 60/40 tax treatment.
Institutional infrastructure.
Micro precision.
The V3 system runs five continuous NSSM Windows services on a dedicated VPS, executing a full signal-to-trade pipeline with no human intervention required during market hours.
