Strategies

ATLAS, WCM's risk engine, looks at your portfolio and finds ways to unlock additional returns.

The Strategies tab gives users 1-click trades, which make it easily to safely increase your returns, harness the full power of ATLAS.

These trades execute multiple orders at once. A group of orders executed simultaneously is called a "bundle." You can create generic bundles using Bundle Mode.

The Strategies tab currently features 1 strategy, the Bullish Leveraged Basis Trade.

Every strategy shows you, on the left hand side, the risk and return metrics, and on the right hand side, the trade-flow and the exact orders which will be executed. Refer to the image below.

The Bullish Leveraged Basis Trade

The Bullish Leverage Basis Trade strategy is the first trade described in ATLAS - WCM's Risk Engine. You can, with 1 click, put this trade on by selecting it in the Strategies tab.

• APR: The annualized return of the trade given current market rates. These rates can change after putting on the trade.

• Liquidation Price: Technically, the trade cannot be liquidated based on the price path of the underlying asset. It can however be liquidated due to widening spreads at very high leverage. The liquidation price is a heuristic, aimed to estimate a price swing, at which the spreads could become wide enough to liquidate the positions.

• Estimated Cost: The cost of entering into the trade, i.e. the execution cost. It is trading fees (maker/taker) + any slippage (market impact) incurred from executing at a very large size.

• Days to break even: Given the APR, the number of days it will take to recover the execution cost.

The basis trade benefits from duration. The longer you stay in the trade with the rate gap persisting, the more money you make. If you have to enter and exit a basis trade frequently, you may lose money due to the inherent execution costs of trading.
