Beta testers get full access to AVALONPLUS for 12 months, free of charge — including all live EOD signals.
Become a Beta Tester →The question this project tried to answer wasn't "can a system beat the market." It was something narrower and, to me, more useful:
The honest answer required two ingredients:
Leveraged Instruments & Reinvesting
Ambitious traders with smaller accounts (≤ $10K) face a recurring problem. Stay safe with long-only and the account moves slowly enough that patience runs out and the trader reaches for too much risk anyway. Or accept high leverage from the start and risk total ruin during the first bad streak. Neither outcome compounds capital. The trader stays stuck.
AVALONPLUS is the attempt to minimize the path to ruin — minimize, not eliminate; it cannot — while keeping the door to compounding open. The signal logic is fully mechanical, the parameters are fixed, the entries and exits are rule-based.
I'm Frank Gärtner, the developer behind AVALONPLUS — an independent software developer based in Austria, trading futures with my own capital. I built this system because I wanted to solve the dilemma above for myself first — and, honestly, to buy back more time. Long breakfasts with my wife in Austrian coffee houses. Time to play bass.
Subscribers receive the exact same signals I take in my own account, on the same instrument (MES/ES), with the same execution timing (next-bar open after the EOD signal).
If any of this resonates — or if you disagree with the premise — the contact form is open.
Current SPX signal status (L1 / S1 / L2) and model health indicators. Daily signal published 16:05 ET via the app. Email delivery optional.
Walk through every trade since 1963 with full cost modeling: commission, slippage, tax, financing. Filter by instrument, era, or custom range. Toggle reinvest on/off.
Zoomable equity and underwater drawdown charts with EMA-137 overlay. Switch between SPX, ES, and MES. Compare reinvest vs. fixed-size side by side.
MAE-based position sizing, visualized interactively. Shows the relationship between entry price, stop distance, account size, and contract count before you place a trade.
10,000 bootstrap simulations on the actual trade sequence. Equity fan chart, drawdown distribution, percentile bands. Separates structural edge from random sequencing.
Every trade card shows entry/exit dates, gross P&L, transaction costs, tax, and net result. Year-end summary tiles. Export trades to CSV.





The server runs the AVALONPLUS model at the close (16:00 ET) and publishes L1 / S1 / L2 signals at 16:05 ET. Delivered via the app.
Open the Risk Visualizer, enter your account size and current SPX level. The MAE model returns a contract count for ES or MES.
Entries are at the next session's open. Stops are placed at signal time. The system is fully mechanical — no discretion required.
Track live and historical trades in the app. Reconcile fills against the backtest. Export the trade log if you want to audit yourself.
Most pro traders read the methodology first. If the math checks out, the beta is the next step.
