Why Derivatives
You've seen that we're a trading community.
And have probably realised by now that we focus on derivatives. Vanilla exchange traded futures, the purest and most liquid trading vehicules ever created.
If you follow the financial press, you'll know that these markets are complex, constantly changing and, if your market outlook is incorrect, can lead to huge losses. But we still think they're the right way to go.
Here's why:
Firstly, our approach is about protection, not gambling. It's about enabling us to make money during the bad times as well as the good. Ultimately, it's about securing our financial future.
Secondly, once you understand derivatives, you'll be well-placed to trade in anything. We are looking at a future where people will be trading in carbon emissions, rainfall and tidal levels. Our approach will enable you to enter any of these markets and have a chance to make a profit.
In the meantime, exchange derivatives provide highly liquid, transparent, centrally cleared markets with no counter party default risk. Compared to popular spot FX and spreadbetting propositions which are basically modern day bucketshops (you trade against the house and not in any valid liquidity pool) you have the chance to pit your wits against peers.
Billions of dollars are traded daily on derivative exchanges.
Within this context, we have created a winning strategy.
It’s called Structured Arbitrage,
which is a risk-averse trading strategy that is made possible by using our unique technology.
It combines the profits afforded by speculation with the protection of hedging.
It allows us to avoid the gambling approach. So for the moment we'll concentrate on what we're good at.
We hope you'll join us.
