About J Auto Trading Strategies, LLC (JATS™)
The Paradigm Shift: Trading the Variance Risk Model
Most of the trading world is still operating on a pre-2003 mindset. In 2003, the CBOE fundamentally moved away from linear price-based models to a model-free variance swap framework. This shift changed the mathematical "walls" of the market, moving from a standard bell curve to a convex variance model.
At JATS™, we didn't just witness this shift—we built our framework on it. Our flagship analytics, including JATS PT™, HALO™, and V-SNAV™, are engineered to map the Standard Deviation of Volatility rather than the standard deviation of price. We identify where the market’s capacity to price in further risk has reached a mathematical limit.
What Makes JATS PT™ Different?
JATS PT™ is our proprietary statistical volatility model designed for active traders, portfolio managers, and volatility analysts. While legacy indicators rely on lagging price data or implied volatility Greeks, JATS PT™ operates on a "Mean to 1-2-3" progression in variance space.
Beyond Price: We don't measure price direction; we measure structural capacity.
Predictive Sigma Levels: Our PTO 1, 2, and 3 levels reflect proprietary multipliers derived from the standard deviation of variance, identifying potential range expansion or exhaustion points by time, be it an hourly or Daily or Weekly range.
Institutional Context: JATS PT™ levels reflect the volatility conditions where institutional participants are structurally forced to rebalance, providing a map of structural support and resistance that price-only models often miss.
Institutional Integration & Partnerships
To provide a comprehensive quantitative edge, we correlate JATS PT™ levels with QuikStrike Options Pricing and Analysis Tools. By highlighting where gamma and delta hedging create inflection points, we validate the strength of our volatility targets.
Our primary development partner, SecureTeam.net, ensures that this institutional-grade logic is delivered through a robust, encrypted infrastructure. This collaboration allows us to provide the JATS PT™ Indicator and JATS Oscillator™ exclusively on the NinjaTrader Desktop Platform.
Our Suite of Tools
JATS PT™ Indicator & Oscillator: Available via monthly subscription on @NinjaTrader. The Oscillator tracks real-time volatility shifts, identifying actionable intraday exhaustion levels.
JIVE™ (JATS Isomorphic Volatility Engine)
The Core of the JATS™ Ecosystem
JIVE™ is our next-generation isomorphic mapping engine, engineered to translate complex variance data into a visual "roadmap" of market capacity. Unlike traditional indicators that struggle during regime shifts, JIVE™ is built to maintain structural integrity across different volatility environments.
- Isomorphic Mapping: JIVE™ ensures that the mathematical relationship between price and variance remains consistent, providing a "1-to-1" reflection of institutional risk levels.
- Regime Recognition: The engine automatically identifies transitions between Mean Reversion (Rotations) and Momentum (Expansion), allowing traders to adjust their orientation before the "Event" occurs.
- Dynamic Calibration: JIVE™ now powers the backend of our entire suite, continuously calculating the proprietary sigma multipliers that define our PTO 1, 2, and 3 levels.
- JIVE™ represents the shift from observing what the market has done to understanding what the market is mathematically capable of doing next.
JATS™ Substack: Daily volatility range and structured options risk analytics delivered through morning reports.

Risk Disclosure
Futures and forex trading have large potential rewards, but also contain substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones' financial security or lifestyle. Don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. Hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses — or adhere to a particular trading program despite losses — are material points that can adversely affect actual results. There are numerous other factors related to markets or strategy implementation that cannot be fully accounted for in hypothetical performance preparation, all of which can adversely affect results.
