🐳 WhalePlus – CFD Variant (Higher Risk/Reward)
WhalePlus is an alternative implementation of WhaleVibe strategies using leveraged products (CFDs). Same signals, different asset and leverage:
| WhaleVibe (SPY) | WhalePlus (CFD) | |
|---|---|---|
| Asset | S&P 500 ETF (SPY) | SPY CFD with leverage |
| Leverage | 1:1 (no leverage) | 2:1 – 5:1 |
| Backtest (9+ yrs) | 98% avg | N/A (live only) |
| Live Return (2024-2026) | +35.57% (see client interface) | 100%+ on MQL5 |
| Max Drawdown | -16% | -43.7% |
| Target Audience | Retail / Conservative | Professionals / Risk-tolerant |
Important Note: WhalePlus uses the same strategies as WhaleVibe, but with a leveraged product (CFD) for greater exposure. Higher CAGR means higher drawdown. It's not a different backtested system, but a different implementation of the same framework.
⚠️ Disclaimer: These are backtest results for SPY strategies (2015-2024). For live performance, see MQL5 Smartwhales (110+ weeks, 100%+ on leveraged CFD). WhalePlus achieves higher CAGR but shows significantly higher drawdown (-43.7%) due to leverage. This is an aggressive implementation of the same framework, while pure SPY strategies maintain defined risk with much lower drawdowns. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
🐳 WhaleVibe Combined (SW + SVE) – Maximum Stability
This strategy combines two complementary components to achieve high stability and extremely low drawdown. Capital is allocated 50/50 between the equity and options components.
Portfolio Composition:
- SmartWhales SPY (Equity): Strategic holding of equity positions based on trend indicators.
- WhaleVibe SVE (Options): Credit Bull Put Spreads utilizing VIX regime detection and fixed risk-management.
Key Performance Metrics (2015–2025)
