⚙️ ZenWave C (Aggressive, 1.0% risk per trade)
- Type: Short-term modern volatility engine
- Status: Work on ZenWave C will commence in 2026. It will be rebuilt from scratch using a simplified and cleaner quant framework. Development is in the early research phase, and the first version will undergo a full Walk-Forward Analysis (WFA) once the core logic is complete.
- Purpose: Designed to capture short-term volatility bursts during Tokyo/London session transitions, complementing the long-term engine (A) and the medium-term engine (B).
- Availability: ZenWave C is not yet available for copy-trading. Only A and B are currently production-ready.
- Next update: After completion of the initial core model and preparation for the first WFA slice (C1).
🧭 Future Roadmap: Multi-Tier Risk Scaling
ZenWaveCapital will gradually introduce lower-risk variants of each strategy as live performance matures.
This allows followers to choose a risk level that matches their goals.
Planned Risk Tiers:
| Tier | Risk/Trade | A-Series Fee | B-Series Fee | C-Series Fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aggressive | 1.00% | 10% | 20% | 25% |
| Balanced | 0.75% | 8% | 15% | 20% |
| Conservative | 0.50% | 6% | 12% | 15% |
| Ultra-Conservative | 0.25% | 4% | 8% | 10% |
Planned release schedule:
Each additional tier (Balanced, Conservative, Ultra-Conservative) will be launched once sufficient subscription revenue is available to seed the required starting balance (€300 per tier). This ensures that every tier begins with real capital and verified live performance.
