Our View of
the Market
The market is a dynamic entity that is subjected, and continually adapts, to various stimuli. At times, global macro policy changes or other such events can cause market expectations to shift dramatically thus creating a chasm between where prices are and where they should be.
When this occurs, the market attempts to regain a state of equilibrium by moving in a unidirectional manner that is defined as a trend.
Our program is based on the premise that people’s expectations adjust slowly and manifest themselves in long-term price trends. We believe that participating in such price movements will generate alpha.
“We do not predict trends but do try to take advantage of such an occurrence once we have confirmation of its existence.
Dynamic Markets
Markets continuously adapt to stimuli, creating opportunities when expectations shift dramatically.
Trend Participation
We participate in confirmed price movements rather than predicting where markets will go.
Risk Management
Strict adherence to prudent risk management techniques to navigate market fluctuations.
Meet Our Trader
Akhilesh S. Ganti
LL.B (HONS/DELHI) | M.B.A (FINANCE)
Mr. Ganti, who is registered as an ‘associated person’ (AP) and listed as a ‘principal’ of Arctos FX LLC, has traded the financial markets for over 20 years.
He has experienced both sides of the “market maker/price taker” dynamic that defines a market. As Senior Risk Manager at FX Solutions LLC, he effectively deployed strategies to mitigate “market maker” risk. Conversely, as Senior Trader for Forex Funds, LLC, his role was that of a “price taker” engaged in proprietary trading for a commodity fund.
He is directly responsible for all trading, risk and money management decisions made at Arctos FX LLC.
Our Approach
A systematic framework built on the belief that prices eventually reflect all relevant information.
Absolute Return Strategies
We employ absolute return strategies that are not correlated with major indices or asset classes. Our goal is to achieve consistent capital appreciation over a long-term investment horizon.
Risk Management
Risk management is of the utmost importance. Predetermined stop loss levels are set for each position at its inception. We utilize a proprietary quantitative methodology to determine position sizing to mitigate risk per trade.
Price Analysis
Market price study forms the foundation of our analysis, reflecting all relevant information.
Signal Filtering
Price signals are filtered to discover the underlying true information from noise.
Systematic Models
Trade recommendations generated at specific, predetermined price points.
Position Management
Proprietary quantitative methodology determines optimal position sizing.
