Use cases

Commodity Trading

Our client wanted us to calculate long/short position signals, based on technical analysis methods in European and American markets.

As a result of our research and statistical analysis we have developed two powerful and original models. One of the models developed is based on the physical modeling of market noise and the other optimizes quantitative analysis signals through machine learning algorithms. These models are currently in production.

Prediction of the Commitment of Traders (Grains + Soft)

The customer wanted to predict with 3 days in advance the net position of “non-commercials“ (hedge funds) published in the weekly TOC report.

Our research and our machine learning methods allowed us to succeed to a prediction of the trend with a precision close to 90 %. This model, applied to other raw materials gives us similar results.

Strategy parameters optimization

Even simple trading strategies can have lots of parameters, e.g. window lengths, thresholds for entry/exit...
We use highly parallel computers in the cloud in order to run thousands of backtest experiments and explore the high dimensional space of parameters.

There is no single criterion to optimize, e.g. return, drawdown, all sorts of ratios... We therefore developped interactive visualization tools in order to select optimal and robust parameter values.

Beside, some results obtained on the S&P 500 E-mini.
