How Kairos operates

Kairos 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 Kairos sizes positions

Base deployment: 6.0% 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, Kairos 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 12.6% of capital. See the conviction-scaling model →

Operational stage

Kairos 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 41 97.56% $32,927,966 3.54%
All stages 41 $32,927,966 +32.93%

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 Kairos is for

Is this your Sentinel?

Kairos is for the founder who wants more than the anchor strategies offer but isn't reaching for the top of the risk curve. It's a balanced Sentinel — a handful of trades on a day that warrants them, restraint on a day that doesn't. Moderate sizing, moderate frequency, a deliberate middle path.

Capital range

What it takes to run Kairos

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 Kairos has the room it's tuned for.
Capacity headroom
6,000 contracts/day
Kairos deliberately under-uses available buying power — there's slack by design.

Kairos's balanced sizing makes the $50K range a natural fit, but it works from the $25K minimum and scales comfortably for larger accounts. 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 Kairos trade looks like

Illustrative example — not a backtest claim, not a forecast
The day
A session with enough movement to be interesting but no shock.
Entry
Through the morning, as conditions warranted — not on a fixed clock.
Structure
SPX 0DTE iron condors — put spread below, call spread above, fixed-width wings — placed when the day looked like one Kairos should participate in.
Size · $50K account
On a hypothetical $50,000 account, a moderate contract count per trade across a small number of trades.
Maximum risk
Per trade: spread width minus credit, times contracts. Across the day, the sum of those defined-risk positions — bounded and known.
Outcome
Most spreads expired worthless; the day's net was the kept credit less any spread that finished in the money. A representative Kairos day is a few small wins, occasionally offset by one give-back.
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 Kairos trade. Reserve your founders spot to start receiving them on your account when activation opens.

The fee

0.65% per month — that's it

Kairos's rate is 0.65% 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 Kairos is $325  (0.65% × $50,000). On a $100,000 account it's $650. Founders: this rate is locked for 5 years from activation, regardless of any later changes.

FAQ

Kairos — the questions founders ask

How fast-compounding is this Sentinel?

Moderate — squarely in the middle of the family. More active than Polaris or Genesis V1, more restrained than Precision or Eli.

What kind of drawdown can I expect?

The validated maximum drawdown shown on this page sits in the lower-middle of the family. It's a historical figure, not a guarantee — live drawdowns can be larger, and 0DTE options can lose quickly on the wrong day.

Can I run Kairos alongside other Sentinels?

Yes. It's a common middle layer between a conservative anchor and a higher-conviction sleeve. Each Sentinel bills separately on its assigned capital.

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

Kairos is the balanced option — it takes a few trades on days that justify them and stays small. It's the bridge between the cautious end of the family and the accelerated end.

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.
