PHILOSOPHY
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 the 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.
Markets can experience fluctuations in price which may or may not signal fundamental shifts in direction, thus our focus on the strict adherence to prudent risk management techniques.

METHODOLOGY
Our Approach
Foundation
Prices reflect all relevant information—fundamentals, geopolitical factors, technical patterns, and psychological elements are priced into securities. Our investment strategy is built on this principle of market efficiency.
Systematic & Discretionary
Models generate trade recommendations at predetermined price points. We follow systematic signals primarily, but adopt discretionary approaches during exogenous events to protect positions and optimize risk-reward opportunities.
Risk Management
We employ absolute return strategies uncorrelated with broad indices. Predetermined stop-loss levels, optimal leverage, and position sizing limit risk per trade while maintaining consistent capital appreciation.
* Stop Loss orders are not guaranteed. Extreme conditions may result in slippage where FX counterparties execute at available rates.
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.
His trading philosophy, the crux of the program(s), has evolved through years of extensive research of the markets. Though initial forays were mainly discretionary in nature, the vagaries of the market led him to focus his efforts towards creating a more efficient method of generating alpha. FX_TRVf is the culmination of this process. Please see the ‘methodology’ section for more information about the program.
