How to Deploy the FatTail Protocol
(Without Overthinking It)
You don’t need a complicated playbook. You don’t need perfect timing.
You need action. Small. Consistent. Relentless.
Here’s how to deploy FatTail correctly, across multiple strategic campaigns.
Step 1: Choose Your Battlefield
Trade only in liquid, volatile markets:
- SPX (S&P 500 Index)
- ES (S&P 500 Futures)
- NQ (Nasdaq Futures)
- CL (Crude Oil Futures)
These arenas are ideal for capturing rare and explosive moves.
Step 2: Select the Right Campaign
FatTail isn’t limited to just one timeframe. We deploy across multiple strategic campaigns:
- Short-term Campaigns: 3–5 DTE
- Mid-range Campaigns: 5–10 DTE
- Extended Campaigns: 10–30 DTE
- Long-term Campaigns: 30–90 DTE
Shorter-term campaigns offer quicker gamma and explosive potential, while longer-term campaigns provide strategic exposure to broader market events.
Step 3: Go Deep (Really Deep)
Forget standard probabilities. You’re targeting extreme events:
- Short-term (3–10 DTE): 2–3 standard deviations OTM
- Extended (10–30 DTE): 3–4 standard deviations OTM
- Long-term (30–90 DTE): 4–5 standard deviations OTM
You’re hunting in territories traditional models label “impossible.”
Step 4: Size Like a Survivor
Your trades should always be asymmetric and small:
- $25–$50 per trade (typically)
No exceptions, no emotion, no “gut” feelings. Survival, consistency, and capital preservation define your strategy.
Step 5: Set, Forget, and Move On
FatTail isn’t about micromanagement. You place trades, let them run, and move on:
- No tweaking.
- No babysitting.
- 1–2 trades per week per campaign.
Your edge is discipline, not constant activity.
Step 6: Journal Every Single Trade
Document each trade rigorously:
- Setup reasoning
- Strike selection
- Entry premium
- Outcome and reflection (objective, unemotional)
Consistency in journaling is your strategic advantage.
