About
J Auto Trading Strategies, LLC (JATS) develops institutional-grade trading analytics software and volatility intelligence frameworks, including JATS PT™, HALO™, and V-SNAV™. Our audience consists of active traders, portfolio managers, and volatility analysts seeking quantitative edge tools for futures and options markets.
JATS PT does not measure the volatility of price—it measures the volatility of range. More specifically, it calculates the distance from the mean to a 3-level boundary off the open or close using a proprietary methodology. This allows the model to detect range expansion or contraction before it’s visible in the options market, capturing volatility dynamics as they unfold.
Unlike legacy indicators that rely on price-based standard deviation, implied volatility, or Greeks, JATS PT operates independently of volume, open interest, or participation-based data. Its sigma levels reflect actual volatility conditions, making it ideal for identifying dealer support and resistance—even in the absence of visible options flow.
To complement the JATS PT framework, QuikStrike Options Pricing and Analysis Tools are used to highlight where gamma and delta hedging may create inflection points. These are correlated with JATS PT levels to validate the strength and alignment of potential setups. Often, there are no visible markers like delta, gamma, or volume at these levels—only the presence of JATS PT levels and the market’s reaction. This is because Prime Dealer order flow is frequently hidden behind iceberg orders.
J Auto Trading Strategies, LLC is proud to collaborate with SecureTeam.net, as our primary development partner. SecureTeam's deep expertise in software engineering, encryption, and cloud systems architecture has been critical in building a robust and secure infrastructure for delivering the JATS PT Indicator and Oscillator across the NinjaTrader Desktop and Web Platforms, as well as the Tradovate Web Platform.
What Makes JATS PT Different?
- JATS PT is a proprietary statistical volatility model—not a price-based tool.
- Sigma levels reflect real-time volatility range dynamics, not standard deviations of price.
- Built using a variance-based methodology that tracks actual range behavior from the open or close.
- Completely independent of implied volatility, Greeks, volume, or open interest.
- Detects key support/resistance and dealer behavior before it's visible in traditional options metrics.
- JATS PT has demonstrated its effectiveness across live market conditions—identifying areas where volatility compresses or expands and where market makers are likely to react—even when there is no visible options activity.

TRADING DISCLAIMER
We at J Auto Trading Strategies, LLC are not certified traders nor are we certified financial planners. We all chose this profession so that we could take our destiny into our own hands and aspire to a future of independence and satisfaction. We offer NO warranty whatsoever. Execution techniques differ from trader to trader. There is no way for us to predict any outcome of your trading.
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.
