Anchor

Anchored Value

Anchor is a mean-reversion strategy anchored to session VWAP. Entries trigger on a confirmed re-touch of the line; two scaled targets exit the position as price unwinds in the trade direction.

Account sizing

Maximum position size per account that satisfies three filters: empirical drawdown ≤ hard DD limit, single SL impact within daily limit, Monte Carlo blow rate ≤ 15%/y. Two percentiles show median (P50) and best-case (P90) outcomes over a 1,500-path simulation × 3-year horizon. Net $/y is annualized payouts after profit split (90% Futures Prop, 85% Forex Prop).

Sizing matched to Futures Prop EOD Trailing close-of-day rules. Static EOD accounts inherit identical sizing safely; Trailing intraday accounts should drop one tier (e.g. 100K trailing intraday → use 50K preset). Monte Carlo v6: 1,500 paths × 3-year horizon, block bootstrap of daily P&L with 5-day blocks, 25% dropout for variance robustness. P10/P50/P90 are 10th/50th/90th percentile across paths. Amber-highlighted Blow/y values exceed the 10% caution threshold.

How Anchor works

Anchor's premise: session VWAP is the day's gravity center. Price drifts away from it and is repeatedly pulled back — and the controlled return to the line is statistically more reliable than the moves that produced the drift.

The strategy waits for a confirmed re-touch and ignores every condition that doesn't qualify. Once positioned, two scaled targets (T1, T2) exit the trade as it unwinds in the entry direction.

The result is one of the lowest-variance strategies in the roster: 100% viability across all MNQ variants, largest blow rate just 1.4%/y on the 150K variant — far below the 15% SAFE threshold. Sizing scales aggressively (4 ct on 50K → 8 ct on 100K → 14 ct on 150K) because the drawdown profile is exceptionally tight.

Methodology

How these numbers were calculated

Layer 1 · Verifiable

Trade counts, win rates, profit factors, drawdown values come directly from TradingView Strategy Tester for the baseline preset. Verify by running the strategy in your own TV after purchase — numbers match 1:1.

Layer 2 · Computed

DD%, SL%, Pass:Blow ratio and percentile breakdowns are computed from the same trade list using industry-standard methodology. Reproducible in Excel or Python.

Layer 3 · Modeled

Time-to-payout, Pay/y, Net $/y, Blow rate, and Viability come from a 1,500-path Monte Carlo v6 simulation over a 3-year horizon. Block bootstrap (5-day blocks) preserves serial autocorrelation of trade streaks.

Reproducibility: Raw trade lists for every strategy × instrument and the Monte Carlo model source data are available on request for audit. Email support@puravidaedge.com.
