The Multi 100: Different Strategies. New Markets. Big Results.

Over the years, we’ve built our reputation by delivering portfolio diversification through the unique advantages of automated intraday trading. However, we’ve consistently heard requests for a more diversified approach—one that could trade multiple markets simultaneously, across any timeframe (from intraday to multi-month), and in both directions. Early last year, we began searching for strategies with long track records that could be paired with our most advanced intraday models to create our most diversified program to date. It wasn’t easy, but we found the right fit and began live trading in October—with strong results. Last month, we proudly made the iQ Multi 100 publicly available.

The Multi 100 is a professionally designed autotrading program engineered to capture some of the largest trends in the futures markets. By combining intraday and multi-day strategies across a diverse set of lowly correlated futures markets, the Multi 100 can produce outsized returns with reasonable risk. It trades approximately 10 global markets, including index futures, energy, metals, bonds, currencies and agricultural commodities. This cross-market approach enables Multi 100 to find more opportunities and benefit from moves in a variety of asset classes, around the clock.

Multi 100 is not just another trading system. We created it for ourselves and like-minded investors seeking:

• Aggressive, asymmetric return potential

• Diversification using strong trending markets

• Low correlation to equities and iQ’s intraday programs

• Fully automated, hands-free execution

• Defined risk controls 

Each trade in the Multi 100 is backed by systematic, data-validated logic. It only trades when a clear, historical edge is present. And because it combines short-termagility with longer-hold conviction, Multi 100 adapts fluidly to both fast markets and trending conditions. 

Frequently Asked Questions: Multi 100

What’s the funding level? 

We suggest using $100,000, but you may start with less with broker approval.

What type of strategies does it use? 

It uses a mix of intraday and multi-day trend following, momentum and mean reversion strategies to trade both long and short, whenever the best opportunities are present.

What markets does it trade? 

In live trading it has held positions in currency and index futures, metals, energy, agricultural commodities and more. The Multi-100 could trade additional markets in the future as trends and opportunities present themselves.

How often does it trade?

~200/yr, but can vary a lot year-to-year depending on market conditions.

What can you tell me about the part of the program developed by iQ?

It uses our next generation / latest machine-learning (ML) technology and trades intraday only.  It trades the Nasdaq futures (NQ), but could day trade other markets in the future. Its maximum daily risk budget is $4k. 

Are the Multi 100 strategies traded in any other iQ programs? 

The intraday portion of the Multi 100 can also trade in the Max 500 if the signal is generated on a day in which there is risk budget available.

Is this a good time to get started? What’s happened after large winning months in the past?

Historically, strong performance in a breakout month has often been followed by continued gains in the months that follow. This pattern likely reflects the program's ability to recognize emerging trends and capitalize on expanding opportunities across additional markets. If you examine the monthly returns, there have been 19 months that have produced in excess of 10% gains for the month. The average 6 month performance following the 10%+ month was +32.1%.

What’s the annual license fee?

The Multi 100 is available in May for the introductory price of $8,700.
