How Chochma operates

Chochma operates an autonomous SPX 0DTE iron condor strategy. Activity varies by market conditions: on an active trading day it may execute 1 to 10 sequential positions as conditions evolve through the session; on days when its filters aren't satisfied, it stands down entirely. The strategy follows a fixed rule set with no discretionary deviation — it doesn't react to news, opinion, or sentiment, doesn't revenge-trade, and doesn't scale up after a loss. Every executed trade appears in your dashboard with full execution detail.

How Chochma sizes positions

Base deployment: 8.0% of capital. This baseline is multiplied by the regime detector (0.4× to 1.4×) and the MPYA brain's conviction signal (0× to 1.5×). On a normal day, Chochma uses its base allocation. On a high-conviction setup in a favorable regime, it sizes up. On a CRISIS day or a news-flooded session, it sizes down or stands down entirely. Realized at-risk range: 0% to approximately 16.8% of capital. See the conviction-scaling model →

Operational stage

Chochma is currently in Paper Calibration

Operating in live market conditions using simulated capital — no real customer funds deployed. Customers cannot activate a Sentinel in this stage. (since 2026-05-08).

Next stage: Beta Live Trading (real capital, limited cohort) — opens when activation is enabled.

Performance by stage

The trade-level record, sliced by stage — never blended. The 20-year backtested-validation figures are in the Strategy DNA panel below.

Stage Period Trades Win rate Net P&L Return Max DD
Paper Calibration / live_paper paper 2026-05-08 → 2026-06-10 78 100.00% $128,385,367 0.00%

Sovereign discloses performance separately for each stage, and notifies subscribed customers by email at least 3 business days before any material stage transition (see Customer Agreement §4A). Backtested and paper-calibration results do not predict live-trading results — live trading involves real execution costs, slippage and market impact. Transitions require compliance sign-off, administrator step-up authentication, and a permanent audit-log entry.

About these numbers. All figures are drawn from validated_stats.json (the platform's single source of truth) and the published canonical trade record. Backtest figures are hypothetical, net of the fee shown above, and have inherent limitations — no live customer capital produced them. Live calibration figures reflect paper trading with real market data and no real money. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Where a metric is not yet published it shows "—" rather than a guessed value. SPX 0DTE options trading carries substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors.

Who Chochma is for

Is this your Sentinel?

Chochma is for the founder who wants disciplined, repeatable participation — a Sentinel that shows up consistently with measured size rather than swinging between extremes. It's a notch above the balanced tier in conviction, still well short of the maximum-growth end of the family.

Capital range

What it takes to run Chochma

Minimum
$25,000
Sovereign's capital threshold — not a regulatory requirement. Below this, fees and slippage compress returns below what the strategy is built to deliver. Applies to every Sentinel.
Recommended sweet spot
$50K
Where Chochma has the room it's tuned for.
Capacity headroom
8,000 contracts/day
Chochma deliberately under-uses available buying power — there's slack by design.

Chochma's measured multi-trade approach is comfortable around the $50K range and scales upward cleanly; the $25K minimum still works. Your capital always stays in your own brokerage account — Sovereign places trades and reads balances; it never holds or withdraws your funds.

The live calibration window runs at least 30 trading days at institutional-scale paper trading: real market data, real execution timing, real intraday stops — no real money. When the window closes, validated Sentinels open to founders for activation. The validated backtest figures (20-year, dual-framework) are in the Strategy DNA panel above; this section is the live record only.

Sample trade journey

What a Chochma trade looks like

Illustrative example — not a backtest claim, not a forecast
The day
A standard session — nothing unusual in the pre-market.
Entry
A small set of entries through the day, each taken on its own read.
Structure
SPX 0DTE iron condors — put spread below, call spread above, fixed-width wings — placed with consistent discipline rather than opportunistic bursts.
Size · $50K account
On a hypothetical $50,000 account, a measured contract count per trade across a handful of trades.
Maximum risk
Per trade: spread width minus credit, times contracts. The day's total is the bounded sum of those positions.
Outcome
On a representative day the spreads largely expired worthless and the kept credit was the day's gain, less any spread that finished in the money. Consistency is the through-line.
Strikes are described as offsets, never as index levels — the specific selection logic, signal inputs, and sizing rules are trade secrets. This walkthrough is for understanding the shape of a trade, not a representation of any particular result.
This is the shape of every Chochma trade. Reserve your founders spot to start receiving them on your account when activation opens.

The fee

0.67% per month — that's it

Chochma's rate is 0.67% monthly, charged on your average daily account balance — not on your account size at sign-up, not per trade, no hidden charges. Your strategy sets your rate. Fees are billed in arrears to your payment method on file via Stripe, never deducted from your brokerage account.

On a $50,000 account, your monthly fee for Chochma is $335  (0.67% × $50,000). On a $100,000 account it's $670. Founders: this rate is locked for 5 years from activation, regardless of any later changes.

FAQ

Chochma — the questions founders ask

How fast-compounding is this Sentinel?

Moderate-plus — more conviction than Kairos, less than Precision or Eli. Disciplined and consistent rather than punchy.

What kind of drawdown can I expect?

The validated maximum drawdown shown on this page is in the middle of the family. It's a historical observation; live drawdowns can be larger, and 0DTE options carry the risk of a quick loss.

Can I combine Chochma with other Sentinels?

Yes — it's a natural mid-conviction layer. Each Sentinel is billed separately on the capital you assign it.

What's different about this vs. the other Sentinels?

Chochma's signature is discipline: consistent participation with measured size, day after day, rather than the restraint of the anchors or the push of the accelerated tier.

You've reviewed everything. The next step is reservation.

Lock the 0.67% rate for Chochma for 5 years. 90 seconds, no payment now, FIFO order at activation.

Important. Backtest projections are hypothetical, net of the fee shown, derived from a 20-year validated backtest (2006–2026) cross-validated by two independent frameworks; hypothetical performance has inherent limitations and does not reflect actual trading. No live customer capital produced these figures. Live calibration figures are paper trading with real market data and no real money. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Worst observed drawdown is the largest peak-to-trough loss during the backtest; live drawdowns may exceed it. SPX 0DTE options trading carries substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. A $25,000 minimum capital commitment per Sentinel applies — Sovereign's threshold, not a regulatory requirement. Sovereign Trading does not have custody of your funds.
