Our broad trading philosophy is an inefficiencies / statistical arbitrage approach. Currently we focus on worldwide options futures markets. Positions are delta neutral on daily market close and we concentrate on Gamma, Vega and Theta. By buying relatively low volatility and selling high volatility, we try to generate continuous profits in nearly every market situation. Short-term volatility overreactions in the options markets are used to build opposite positions. Each day we open or adjust new positions, unless the system recommends staying out of the market. The decision for opening and closing time of each strategy depends on statistical research done by analysts Our trading robots trade mainly spreads. These spreads tend to have a smaller risk than outright positions.. Trading instruments used (as % of AUM): We perform 3-4 option strategies per month. Each strategy usually consists of hedging transactions in six main options, (options of EUR/USD, OGBL, ODAX, ES, OESX and T-NOTE (testing)), but the main strategy with 80 % is OGBL FGBL, 10% Index Options, 10% FX Options, which uses between 3-15% margin of total AUM / NAV.
