Algorithmic (Quantitative) Trading is a type of investing strategy that uses mathematical models and algorithms to make decisions.
What does our Algorithmic Trading strategy do?

Our Approach

Our algorithmic trading strategy harnesses the daily volatility of global financial markets while pursuing stable returns. Our proprietary trading systems integrate seamlessly with exchanges, allowing us to implement various strategies optimised for current market conditions. These strategies range from grid trading to arbitrage and options trading.

The sophisticated nature of global financial markets presents numerous opportunities. Markets still exhibit predictable volatility patterns, price discrepancies between trading venues, and continuously evolving investment products. Our algorithmic trading systems can effectively capitalise on these inefficiencies.

Our algorithmic trading infrastructure, developed in-house, connects to major global exchanges, can process over 20,000 trades per day, and operates with an internal response time of 0.6 microseconds. As a result, our Algorithmic Trading strategy benefits from numerous price fluctuations and inter-exchange pricing discrepancies. These profits generate incremental returns, helping to smooth market corrections and deliver stable growth.

Grid Trading

In grid trading, orders are strategically placed within defined price ranges and executed as prices fluctuate within these parameters. Our systems can operate with price changes as small as 0.001%. In addition to the returns from each trade, we receive additional rebates from exchanges for the liquidity we provide to the market.

Arbitrage Trading

Due to market inefficiencies, price differences exist between various exchanges and trading venues. Our trading systems are integrated with multiple exchanges worldwide, enabling us to capitalise on these temporary pricing discrepancies across equity, futures, forex, and fixed-income markets.

Options Trading

Options trading offers a diverse range of strategic possibilities. Our team brings extensive experience in options trading across multiple market cycles, supported by proprietary analytics and risk management systems that allow us to identify opportunities others miss while maintaining strict risk parameters.

Driven by Numbers

Trading in public markets inherently involves emotions. While human analysts must work to control their biases, algorithmic systems operate entirely on quantitative data. Continuous restructuring and optimisation of our trading strategies ensure daily performance improvements and the elimination of emotional decision-making.

Active Across Global Markets

One advantage of our approach is the ability to trade across global markets during all trading hours. Our algorithmic trading systems allow us to capitalise on the peak trading times across European, American, and Asian markets, maximising opportunity capture.

Compound Growth Strategy

The Algorithmic Trading strategy aims to generate incremental returns that compound over time. Profits are automatically reinvested according to client preferences, which may include major indices, blue-chip equities, or specific sector exposures. This compounding approach helps limit drawdowns during market corrections while providing enhanced returns during upward trends.

AI-Enhanced Optimization

Our strategy continually explores opportunities to integrate our proprietary machine-learning platform with trading algorithms. This technology supports our trading systems in analysing price movements and forecasting market direction based on vast historical datasets and real-time market conditions.
