The conservative anchor — steady, measured, the foundation.
Polaris 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.
Base deployment: 2.0% 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, Polaris 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 4.2% of capital. See the conviction-scaling model →

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 | 80 | 100.00% | $22,667,099 | — | 0.00% |
| All stages | 80 | $22,667,099 | +22.67% |
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.
Polaris is for the founder who values steadiness over excitement. Conservative position sizing, tight risk controls, measured deployment. If you're allocating capital you cannot afford to see swing around, this is your starting point. Polaris is the Sentinel that does the least at any one moment — and over a long horizon, that restraint is the point.
Polaris is happiest where it has room to be patient. It works at the $25K minimum and scales smoothly upward; there is no account size at which it suddenly behaves differently. 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.
View the canonical trade history →Polaris's rate is 0.64% 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.
It isn't. Polaris is the most conservative Sentinel in the family — the smallest position sizes, the widest distance between its short strikes and the market, the lowest published drawdown. If you want excitement, this is the wrong Sentinel.
The validated record shows the smallest maximum drawdown of any Sentinel. That figure is shown on this page and pulled from our single source of truth. It is a historical observation, not a promise — live trading can exceed it, and 0DTE options carry the risk of a fast loss on a bad day.
Yes. Many founders pair Polaris with a higher-conviction Sentinel — Polaris as the steady base, the other as the growth sleeve. Each Sentinel is billed separately at its own monthly rate on the capital you assign to it.
Polaris trades the least and risks the least per trade. Everything else in the family pushes harder on one dial or another — more contracts, closer strikes, more active configurations. Polaris is the anchor the others are measured against.

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.
