Robots - being superior to humans in many ways - has the ability to analyse the market, crunch tons of data in seconds, read complex patterns and execute rational trades. They were engineered to exploit market fear and greed that affects human traders' psychology. Such market behavior gives rise to a pattern that makes it possible for robots to predict future recurrences. AlgoMerchant had taken years of work and millions of dollars in venture funding to bring adaptive intelligence robots into a reality. And it starts from our Robot Factory.

Trading strategies developed by the brightest minds

Financial securities have become increasingly complex today. There is a growing demand for complex mathematical modelling algorithms that has the ability to price securities, as well as generate profit and reduce risk. In the robot factory, we connect with many top performing quantitative investment algorithms developed by the best quants, data scientists and systematic traders from all over the world.

Algorithms 101

An algorithm is a series of processes to perform a task. In terms of trading, this translates to utilising artificial intelligence to follow a designated series of information and mandate for placing trades in the stock market.

We stress test them first, before you pick

To ensure quality, we test their algorithms vigorously in both historical and live markets to find statistical evidence to support their investment hypothesis. This includes creating multiple test environments for different market cycles, across different stock universes to ensure consistency.

Our proprietary backtesting methodology is a high-level invention to find the winning patterns. It is all about detecting anomalies in the structures of the data that lead to the discovery of Alpha.

Data Science

Our comfort with large scale data analysis allows us to consistently find factors and algorithms which can give us informational edge over the market. Robots can model out thousand combinations of possibilities in seconds, whereas humans need an infinitely long time to solve. Advancement in processing power and speed create possibilities to leverage on data mining and statistical behavioural inductions to form pattern recognitions and identify Alpha.

Machine Learning

Multi-agent algorithms are the bedrock of a RoboInvest Solution (i.e. “robots”).

The iterative aspect of machine learning creates evolutionary ability for our robots to learn from training data, identify historical patterns and then make intelligent decisions -- all with zero human intervention. Multi-agent algorithms bring them to life in incredibly smart and powerful ways to respond in any market’s condition.

Alpha

Alpha - the science of generating active income from the market, the science to a new investing reality; the Holy Grail of investing. We perform extensive analysis on data anomalies and create data centric algorithm that yield excess returns for similar risks. Our research brings us to a journey of discovery about market inefficiency. The existence of RoboInvest solution is the first manifestation of market inefficiency.

In theory, Alpha is strongly attributable to pattern recognition and systematic investing method. In practice, we generate Alpha by tempering volatility through a combination of stock selection and market timing. Alpha produces a low correlation of relative returns to traditional market-investing model. As a result, portfolio's return becomes more consistent and performs relatively well when an inevitable market downturn occurs.

Pick your robot

We offer access to top performing investment algorithms developed by the best quant traders from all over the world. With AlgoMerchant, anyone can become a successful investor.

You don't need to be a scientist or coder to assign the robot with your investing mandate. Just set the parameters and activate the robot, your investment would immediately be up and running. The best part? Our robots have been designed in a way such that you will always have the full control over them.
