The ZTA portfolio
The ZTA portfolio is a group of automated strategies. Each one trades a single futures market in its own style. Together they spread risk across markets, styles and times of day.

Why a portfolio?
Section titled “Why a portfolio?”No strategy works in every market. A breakout strategy does well when prices move a lot, and struggles when they don’t. Mixing markets and styles means one quiet strategy does not decide your whole year.
Retired strategies
Section titled “Retired strategies”We retire a strategy when it no longer meets our standards. Retired strategies stop trading for clients, and we tell clients before that happens.
