Aaron Larkin is the Co-Founder and CEO of Breakout Funds. The Breakout trading team has a combined 40 years of trading and research experience incorporating proprietary quantitative signals into disciplined trading decisions. Our trading approach incorporates being patient and selectively waiting for opportunities that show a favorable risk-reward in both time and price. The core of our trading philosophy is the belief that markets experience different regimes and with that, ever changing volatility. The goal of an opportunistic trading manager is to continually research, implement, and capitalize on both existing and new market conditions, capturing volatility and managing risk. We trade approximately 20 futures markets on major global exchanges with an emphasis on intraday stock index price action and volatility. The holding period for positions ranges from minutes to less than 4 days. All research is sourced from the founders’ trading experience and principles and trades are discretionarily implemented via trading automation and individual position and portfolio risk metrics. We consider disciplined risk management and position holding periods as one source of Alpha. Aaron has over 16 years of experience trading global macro products.
