Witan Way

Choose a strategy. Let it be watched.

The Lab is where self-directed investors select a rule-based strategy, adjust a few meaningful parameters, and receive a weekly reading of its current state.

Not because markets moved. Because your rule did.

What it does

The Lab reads your rule.

A regime read liveMove the strategy-intensity leverCompared with 60/40 and a steady 4% referenceDrawdown is a consequence, never a setting
My All-Weather

Strategy intensity — how much of the model's exposure this version lets through when the regime shifts. The chart answers as you move it.

This is All-Weather — one of six strategies. Each has its own settings to shape.

Most investors abandon a strategy that falls too hard. Behavioural research places that limit near -15%. The point is not the highest return — it is one you can hold through, with volatility you can live with.

When a strategy moves, you know exactly what changed.

Followed strategies are checked regularly. When a signal changes the allocation, Witan Way sends you a structured notification, then keeps the detail of the change in the Lab.

In weeks with no change, no unnecessary email. When a rule triggers, the information arrives immediately and stays available in the Lab.

What it answers each week

  • What is the current state of my selected strategy?
  • Did anything change since the last reading?
  • Has any threshold been crossed?
  • Does the strategy require attention?
  • Why?

The point is to reduce the number of things worth watching.

The library

Six strategies. One disciplined engine.

The demo shows All-Weather. Five more sit beside it — permanent frames, trend and momentum allocation, risk control, the house method — each with its own parameters to play with.

Permanent frames

Core diversified allocations, rebalanced on a schedule or a trend filter, without discretionary market timing.

Trend followers

Strategies that stay invested while a trend holds and step aside when it breaks.

Momentum allocators

Strategies that rotate toward the assets showing the strongest recent momentum.

Risk control

Strategies that size exposure to keep simulated volatility in check.

Blended regime models

Strategies that read several signals at once to gauge the market regime.

Explore the six strategies

Beyond the signal

What else the Lab does.

Compare strategies side by side

Put the six strategies, two reference benchmarks, and your own saved versions on one table — simulated volatility, drawdown, return, time invested, rotation, and how each behaved through six named stress periods.

Simulate an allocation

Turn a strategy's current model allocation into indicative sizing against a total you choose — a target and an indicative quantity per index. An educational aid, never a tracker or an order.

A bank of matching assets

For each reference index, browse real ETFs and funds, filterable by region, wrapper eligibility, cost, and replication fidelity — documentary, never a specific recommendation.

How it works

A simple operating rhythm.

    Each week, the Lab tells you what changed, what did not, and whether your selected strategy deserves attention.

    Get rare signals

    If something material changes before the next weekly reading, the Lab sends a signal.

    A signal is not a command.

How it reads

Data becomes a decision you can keep.

    Data

    Prices and market data for public indices, updated on a fixed schedule.

  2. 02

    Rules

    Published rules with explicit thresholds — the same every week.

  3. 03

    State

    The current reading of each strategy: invested, defensive, or in between.

  4. 04

    Explanation

    What changed since last week, and why — in plain words.

  5. 05

    Your decision

    You act on your own account, in your own time. The Lab never does.

Witan Way reads and explains. You keep the decision.

These are not buy or sell alerts.

They are rule-based state changes designed to support disciplined review.

Boundaries

You stay in control.

The Lab reads and explains. You decide — on your own account, in your own broker, in your own time.

It gives your own rules a place to live.

Thirty days, on the level

We email you before we ever charge you.

Card on file. Three days before the trial ends, one email — clear, no chasing — then you cancel before it ends.

We would rather lose the membership than keep someone who forgot to leave.
