Bombastic Protocol is a fully automated trading system. We trade like mathematicians but invest like grandmothers — advanced probability engines make active timing decisions across 54 blue-chip companies every market day. The math is aggressive, the portfolio is boring, and that's the point.
Most quant funds chase exotic instruments with exotic math. We use exotic math on the most ordinary businesses on earth — companies that sell soda, uniforms, peanut butter, and fighter jets. Even boring stocks have their bull runs and bear runs, but their cycles are cleaner, more predictable, and far easier to model than the chaotic price action of speculative assets.
Some of these boring companies happen to sell picks and shovels to the AI revolution. Every layer of the AI stack — from silicon to power grid — touches something we own. But we didn't pick them because of AI. We picked them because they had predictable cycles and decades of revenue from businesses that exist regardless of whether AI changes the world or not. If the boom continues, they benefit. If it doesn't, they still sell electricity, chip design tools, and cloud services.
Each stock has its own model that reads hundreds of market signals daily, fits probability distributions to market behavior, and answers one question: in, or out? The models don't predict prices — they estimate the probability of being in a favorable regime. When the math says a company is entering rough waters, we step aside. A separate set of macro models handles where the idle capital goes — reading commodity regimes to rotate between gold, silver, and agricultural commodities. The money is always working somewhere, and every rotation is model-driven.
The fund is fully systematic. No human overrides, no discretionary calls. The machine runs just before market close, broadcasts signals, and goes back to sleep. The humans maintain the infrastructure and try not to touch anything.
Almost two years of building, rewriting, and throwing away code that didn't survive validation. The system has been live trading with real money since February 2025 — through tariff shocks, rate uncertainty, and everything the market threw at it. The first year was profitable, roughly 20% gains. One year of live results later, we shifted to a more defensive strategy: broader diversification into hard assets and commodities, stricter validation gates, and a portfolio built to survive first and profit second.

Smoothing over maximizing. Survival over profit.
We don't chase maximum returns. We chase smooth returns — lower volatility means you can leverage more and compounding doesn't break.
Priority is staying in the game. Drawdown is acceptable, margin call is not. The system handles recovery.
Every model validated against unseen data including the worst financial crisis in modern history. Titanium-strong quality or nothing.
