Our Approach

Stipelis manages actively traded futures portfolios across equity index, interest rate, currency, and commodity markets. 

Our strategy blends technical analysis, market fundamentals, and trader experience, supported by structured risk management rules designed for consistency and discipline.

Futures trading involves leverage and volatility. Investors should be prepared for fluctuations and are encouraged to maintain a long-term investment horizon.

Custody and Alignment

 Stipelis is not a custodian and does not hold client funds.

All client assets remain at the investor’s chosen Futures Commission Merchant. Clients retain full ownership and control of their accounts. Stipelis has trading authority only and does not have the ability to deposit or withdraw funds.

We receive no compensation from brokerage activity. Our role is limited to managing the trading strategy.
