How Eli operates

Eli 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 Eli sizes positions

Base deployment: 14.0% 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, Eli 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 29.4% of capital. See the conviction-scaling model →

Operational stage

Eli 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 2026-05-07).

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 2026-05-07 → 2026-05-26 58 100.00% $24,637 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 Eli is for

Is this your Sentinel?

Eli is the maximum-growth Sentinel — tuned for the highest validated annual return in the family (45.0%). What makes Eli unusual is that this maximum growth comes with a validated max drawdown of 1.79% and a 99.1% win rate — lower drawdown than most Sentinels in the family, not higher. It's for the customer who wants the family's full upside and doesn't want to trade that upside for volatility. Larger accounts amplify the dollar outcome; the strategy itself stays disciplined.

Capital range

What it takes to run Eli

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 Eli has the room it's tuned for.
Capacity headroom
10,000 contracts/day
Eli deliberately under-uses available buying power — there's slack by design.

Eli's higher monthly fee reflects its higher validated return — the fee tier follows return, not risk character. The $25K minimum applies; the $50K range upward is where Eli operates most naturally, and larger accounts give the strategy the most room to compound. Your capital always stays in your own brokerage account — Sovereign places trades and reads balances; it never holds or withdraws your funds.

Trading days observed

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 Eli trade looks like

Illustrative example — not a backtest claim, not a forecast
The day
An active session that supports the strategy's full cycle count.
Entry
Up to ten sequential entries through the day, each within Eli's defined risk envelope.
Structure
SPX 0DTE iron condors — put spread below, call spread above, fixed-width wings — staged across the session, each leg fully defined-risk.
Size · $50K account
On a hypothetical $50,000 account, Eli uses the most active per-day cycling in the family — the engine behind its 45.0% validated annual return.
Maximum risk
Every leg is defined-risk; the worst-case loss per cycle is bounded by the wing width and contract count, not unlimited. The validated max drawdown of 1.79% reflects this discipline.
Outcome
High cycle count combined with a high per-cycle win rate (99.1% over the 20-year validation window) compounds into the family's highest validated annual return.
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.

The fee

0.72% per month — that's it

Eli's rate is 0.72% 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 Eli is $360  (0.72% × $50,000). On a $100,000 account it's $720. Founders: this rate is locked for 5 years from activation, regardless of any later changes.

FAQ

Eli — the questions founders ask

How fast-compounding is this Sentinel?

The fastest in the family — 45.0% validated annual return is the highest of all eight SPX Sentinels.

What kind of drawdown can I expect?

Over the 20-year backtest window, Eli's maximum drawdown was 1.79% — one of the lowest in the family. The validated win rate is 99.1%. Both are backtest observations from the validation window, not contractual caps; live drawdowns can differ from backtested figures, and 0DTE options carry inherent intra-day risk.

Should this be my only Sentinel?

There's no rule against it, and Eli's combination of high return and low drawdown makes a single-Sentinel allocation more defensible here than with some of the other accelerated Sentinels. That said, most customers still prefer pairing Eli with a different character — Polaris or Kairos — for diversification across strategy logic.

What's different about this vs. Precision?

Both are in the accelerated tier. Eli's validated annual return is the family's highest (45.0%); Precision's is second (43.3%). Eli's validated max drawdown is lower (1.79% vs Precision's 2.35%). The structural difference is cycle density and sizing — Precision runs a more concentrated day, Eli runs more cycles per active session.

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

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.
