Hi,
Thanks for sharing the idea. I’d love to test it. However, I don’t see the script in Scripts 2026.

H Petra,

I am glad you mentioned our work. In case you are interested, I have written an article about the regime and how it worked this year , together with Python implementation (not 9 pages 😉 ).

We can do any options strategy for you, but this article was not about trading IV on options.

In reply to Bob Pardo.

Regarding Bob’s comments – thank you for posting! Well, I can only judge what I know – and that’s your evaluation process for Ranger, and your Rangermaker tool that you sent me for replicating the process. If you have another process, I don’t know it.
I can understand that you are defending your tool and process. I also understand that my objections against parts of them, and my improvement suggestions, have been unwelcome. After all, I’m no famous trader and my objections were just based on dry math. So let’s agree that we disagree here. The suggested improvements are done, in the form of our evaluation shell, and we both have a fine product. Let’s make the best of it.

– Bob, you can post links, but then your comment needs approval by an editor.

Regarding the Marquart comment – There is nothing “wrong” with our process. Lotter is tilting at windmills. He does not know our Excalibur process . The proven performance of Excalibur and its predecessors can be fully seen on our website. Apparently either Lotter or some filter does not permit links in a comment. If you are interested take a look at XT99, Pardo Renaissance, Current Performance and our History. All a part of algo history.

Regarding WFA – Yes, most discoveries are “obvious” after they have been discovered. I guess Lotter should be happy that I did invent it since WFA is central to his evaluation process.

Regarding the Dolder comment – Yes, the RangerZ is an automated implementation of parts of the RangerMaker process. RM is a piece of the Excalibur process. RangerZ is lacking much of the technology of Excalibur.
