Sentinel Framework
A disciplined, rules-based framework designed to adapt across market conditions through systematic signals and consistent execution.
Each Sentinel strategy is offered with defined capacity limits and is intended for investors who align with its specific risk profile.
A Systematic, Multi-Layer Decision Framework
The Sentinel Framework is a systematic, rules-based framework designed to separate long-term market structure from short-term tactical signals.
Each layer serves a distinct role within the portfolio decision process.
Market & Data Foundation
The process begins with market data and alternative data inputs.
These data streams are standardized, cleaned, and transformed into model-ready features through preprocessing and feature engineering.
This ensures consistency, robustness, and repeatability across all decisions.
Multi-Horizon Intelligence Layer
Rather than relying on a single model, the system operates multiple intelligence paths in parallel.
Structural Intelligence focuses on slower-moving market regimes and is used to optimize the core tactical system parameters.
Tactical Intelligence generates proprietary short-term predictive indicators designed to respond more quickly to changing market conditions.
Separating time horizons helps reduce noise and avoid overreacting to short-term market fluctuations.
Unified Intelligence Layer
Outputs from each intelligence path are combined through an ensemble process.
This layer aggregates signals, resolves conflicts, and prevents any single indicator or model from dominating decisions.
The goal is stability, not optimization around any single pattern.
From Signals to Portfolio Decisions
Signals are interpreted through predefined SMA-based tactical logic to determine portfolio positioning.
Portfolio decisions are made systematically and may include long and defensive positioning, depending on prevailing conditions.
Risk Management & Execution
Before any trade is executed, risk controls are applied, including position sizing rules, stop logic, exposure limits, and volatility targeting.
Trades are executed through the client’s brokerage account via API, ensuring transparency and client control at all times.
Human Oversight & Continuous Improvement
The system is continuously monitored by humans.
Performance, behavior, and market conditions are reviewed, and models are retrained as appropriate.
This feedback loop helps ensure the system remains adaptive while operating within predefined constraints.
Hedge-Fund-Style Strategies, Broader Access
Many advanced quantitative strategies have traditionally required six or seven-figure minimums. TTM Funds applies the same disciplined, rules-based approach, delivered through modern infrastructure that allows broader access.
Clients benefit from institutional-style portfolio management while retaining full ownership, transparency, and control through their own accounts.
Access to Sentinel Framework is provided through a suitability review conducted as part of our advisory process. This ensures the strategy aligns with each client’s financial goals, risk tolerance, and overall portfolio structure.
