Member Handbook
1. The Vision: Noise-Filtered Trading
Most retail traders fail because they react to market "noise"—random price flickers that trigger emotional decisions. Uncharted Investments uses a Smoothed Execution Engine to ensure we only move when the trend is mathematically confirmed.
- Bullish Trend: Large green bodies with zero lower wicks
- Bearish Trend: Large red bodies with zero upper wicks
2. The Core Strategy: Ashimoto 3-5-7 + Regime Awareness
Our software operates on a strict three-step confirmation process before any member of the Fleet enters a position:
- The Momentum Gate: The MACD (12, 26, 9) histogram must flip from negative to positive (for longs) or positive to negative (for shorts).
- The Trend Pivot: Price must achieve a Heikin-Ashi Close above (for longs) or below (for shorts) the EMA 20.
- The Tiered Exit: Profits are banked at 3% and 5%, with a 7% Trailing Stop and a 3% Hard Stop-Loss.
The algorithm now identifies Market Regimes (Bull, Bear, Neutral, or High Volatility). In "High Volatility" states, the system may automatically pause 3-5-7 entries to preserve capital until stable mathematical confirmation returns.
3. The NAV Pricing & Expense Ledger New
Uncharted now operates with a professional Net Asset Value (NAV) model. Your dashboard displays a single "Fund Price" that represents your stake in the Fleet.
- Amortized Expenses: To prevent sudden price drops, large annual LLC costs (Legal filings, Data feeds, Hosting) are "smoothed" across 365 days.
- Fairness: This ensures that members pay for the software and overhead only for the exact days they are active in the Fleet.
4. The Global Emergency Orchestrator New
While you retain an Individual Kill Switch, the Managers (Erick and Scott) provide an extra layer of fiduciary protection through the Global Kill Switch.
- Manager Authority: During "Black Swan" events or technical failures, Managers can trigger a fleet-wide liquidation to cash.
- Immediate Transparency: Upon execution, you will receive an automated SMS/Email detailing the specific Reason for Action captured in our logs.
5. The Digital Vault & Compliance New
Transparency is the foundation of our 50/50 Manager-Managed LLC.
- Milestone Markers: Your performance charts feature interactive markers. Hover over any "X" or "Arrow" to see the official Manager Note or Reason for Action from the Vault.
- 30-Day Heartbeat: Your trading authorization expires every 30 days. You must enter the current Monthly Meeting Code to "Heartbeat" your account and prevent auto-halt.
6. Participation & Security
The 9/12 Rule
You must verify attendance for 9 Strategy Briefings per year. Missing a 4th meeting (i.e., falling below the 9/12 threshold) results in revocation of trading access until compliance is restored.
Non-Custodial Security
Your money stays in your Alpaca account. The Club Orchestrator operates with "trade-only" OAuth permissions.
