EMPIRICAL is a private investment office running a principal trading operation for over 30 years in directional and non-directional strategies in derivatives on stock market indexes, currencies, precious metals, oil, and digital assets, and is developing a fully automated high-frequency trading operation.
The principal trading operation focuses on a data-driven approach across all time-frames and is scaling up its development and use of algorithms that utilize probability modelling, trend observations, sentiment analysis, pattern recognition, momentum, order flow, and auction market theory, with automated execution of clear entry signals with automated profit targets and stop losses.
Algorithms are used to automatically analyze thousands of events and react by opening and closing positions with automation and speed, with little directional market risk.
The algorithmic trading operation uses an active fully systematic market-neutral investment approach targeted at generating returns independent of market conditions utilizing high-frequency trading algorithms with direct market access with multiple exchanges.
High-frequency trading algorithms are designed to act upon small movements in prices, the sort of movement that would make a few dollars at a small scale, but can deliver large returns with thousands of small but profitable transactions per day.
EMPIRICAL offers long-term investors the opportunity to earn a high annual fixed-interest by offering Private Investment Notes that capitalize on the power of compounding.
