Algorithmic Trading Models & Market Timing Signals
How the model families differ
The lineup includes distinct technical strategies plus a volatility-centered family. The combined VIX models add technical, macroeconomic, and monetary-policy inputs as their scope becomes broader.
Two different ways to read price behavior
These free models isolate contrasting technical approaches rather than stacking the same rule set.
From focused volatility signals to broader context
VIX Basic and VIX Advanced stay focused on volatility. The combined models then add technical, macroeconomic, and monetary-policy context.

This is a conceptual map of the published input families, not a claim that every model is a nested implementation of the one before it.
Compare the model lineup
Each card links to a model research page with historical statistics and model-specific documentation. Current signals are shown when your access level permits them; locked signals remain unavailable until the corresponding account or subscription requirement is met.
Compare access, inputs, signal and historical profile
Use this as an orientation layer, then open the model page for the full trade history, methodology, live-performance boundary, and implementation context.

Historical CAGR and max drawdown come from the same reviewed model summary data used on the individual model pages. The historical record combines backtest and subsequent live periods, and historical results are not a forecast of future performance.
How to evaluate historical results
The individual model pages separate historical research from the live signal experience and disclose where live trading begins for each model. Their historical trade records combine a backtest period with subsequent live performance, so the two periods should not be interpreted as identical evidence.
The common historical window begins on April 20, 2009, the first date in the dataset with full VIX futures-curve information. Historical CAGR, win rate, drawdown, and trade results describe the reviewed sample; they are not guarantees of future returns and can be affected in practice by execution, taxes, slippage, spreads, position sizing, and differences between a user's implementation and the modeled rules.
Free and premium access
The lineup includes models available without a paid plan as well as Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum models. Paid tiers add access to progressively broader model combinations and product features. Check the model cards and plan pages for current access and pricing.
Start with the free models if you want to understand how Grizzly Bulls presents signals and historical research before considering a paid strategy. Existing subscribers can open any model card to review the research available for their tier.
How it works
Understand the mechanics behind the models
Market timing is not risk-free
A systematic model can reduce discretionary decision-making, but it cannot eliminate model risk, whipsaws, regime changes, execution differences, or the possibility of underperforming a passive benchmark. A strategy that avoided one historical drawdown can still react poorly to a future market environment that differs from its research sample.
Use the model pages as research and decision-support material. Review the methodology and historical record, consider implementation costs and tax consequences, and avoid allocating capital solely because a backtest or current signal looks attractive in isolation.
