How the models work
Three disciplines.
Every trade.
- I
Research
One model per market, built on that market’s own history. Every test includes commissions, spreads, and slippage, so results reflect what trading would have cost.
- II
Risk
Position size follows each market’s volatility, so a quiet week and a volatile week carry similar risk. Hard limits cap exposure per market and across the portfolio.
- III
Execution
Orders respect each market’s sessions and contract calendar, including futures rolls. They are placed in your own broker account, where every fill is visible.
From first call to first trade
- 01Talk
Your broker, the instruments you can trade, and your capital.
- 02Review
Methodology, test results, costs, and drawdowns for each market.
- 03Connect
We confirm the integration for your broker and instrument. You approve the limits.
- 04Run
Models trade through the sessions. Every fill lands in your broker account, and you can pause at any time.
Before the first trade
Know the rules.
Then automate.
Review the research, understand the risk, and agree on the broker setup. Your capital stays in your account.
Discuss a strategyCan I review the backtests?
Yes. Ask for the methodology, available results, costs, and drawdowns before choosing a strategy.
Which brokers can I use?
Commodity futures, spot products, and CFDs need different integrations. We confirm your instrument and broker during onboarding.
Are the figures backtested or live?
Every figure on this page is labeled, with the period it covers. Backtests include commissions, spreads, and slippage. Before you choose a strategy, we show you how live trading compares with the backtest.
What returns should I expect?
No one can promise returns, and we won’t. The record shows what each model did, losing months included. Size your account so the largest historical drawdown is one you could live through.
How much capital do I need?
It depends on the instrument. Micro futures (MGC, SIL, and MCL) and CFDs suit smaller accounts than full-size contracts. We recommend a size so each model can follow its sizing rules.
Where is my money held?
With your broker, in your name. Oronus connects for order execution only and never holds client funds. You can pause or disconnect at any time.
What happens around big events?
Oil reacts to OPEC+ decisions and the weekly EIA inventory report; metals react to interest-rate decisions and U.S. economic data. Event exposure is part of each model’s research, and positions are sized for volatility. Prices can still gap, and losses can exceed what a model planned for.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on your setup. We share it on the first call, before you commit to anything.
Who is Oronus for?
Investors who want commodity exposure run by rules rather than headlines, and traders and small funds who would rather review a process than watch the screen.
Is this investment advice?
No. Oronus provides trading technology and research. We don’t hold funds, manage accounts, or tell you what to buy. Whether and how much to trade is your decision.
