Yes. Our algorithms are constantly evolving as a result of our team working on them almost daily to improve not only their performance, but also to minimise risks and enhance security. We constantly rebalance the distribution of the wallets, in order to work efficiently in each new cycle.

Our strategy and methods have allowed us to perform under all market conditions over the past years.
The investment process consists in 3 pillars, combining proven technical analysis methods inspired from the Wyckoff Trading Method, with sentimental analysis as well as a thorough analysis of the global macro outlook.
Besides we designed our own indicators to determine our entry/exit levels. Our investment decisions are transparent as well our insight on the market – which we share on a weekly basis in a video available on our website.

Our investment management relies on 3 points: a technology developed in-house for pricing algorithms and indicators, the team’s expertise and its view on the global macro outlook that we cross-validate with technical analysis concepts. This way, we can identify Primary Trading Opportunities with appropriate risk/reward parameters.

Our investment management relies on 3 points:

-A technology developed in-house for pricing algorithms and indicators.
-The team’s expertise and view on the global macro outlook.
-We cross-validate with technical analysis concepts.
This way, we can identify Primary Trading Opportunities with excellent risk/reward parameters.

A few key points about our management:

• Our investment decisions and insight into the market are transparent, which we have shared weekly in a video on our website and YouTube since January 2019.
So confidence and trust are established almost immediately with our customers.

• We use a proven and tested methodology consisting of manual swing trading and algorithm-based trading indicators to make the most of the market conditions with the accuracy of top/bottom trades and analysis.

• We never use Leverage! Our clients’ portfolios CANNOT be liquidated.

CFT currently works only with the two top cryptocurrencies in the market – BTC and ETH. We also trade to a certain extent with the top ten large-cap coins on “Perpetual Futures”. Our principle is pretty simple here – work with cryptocurrencies that have the best market cap to guarantee sufficient liquidity in the order books of platforms like Binance and offer us a seamless opportunity to carry out our trades. This way, we have much better control of our risk-reward ratio (RRR), and the “slippage” usually does not exceed 0.6% when placing orders simultaneously for all our clients’ accounts, including more significant accounts like hedge funds. The leaders in terms of daily liquidity/volume on the major exchanges are BTC and ETH, and therefore, in order to limit the “slippage” we need sufficient daily liquidity for optimal control of our trading management and risk-reward ratio (RRR) and to deliver outstanding results for all our clients in the long term.

We also advise our clients against getting too excited with the sharp movements of many alt-coins and stay focussed on the bigger picture with crypto assets with strong fundamentals. We always create strategies around assets that have a future perspective and are not just “hyped” by clever guerilla marketing or by random tweets by a celebrity. And although we are often asked by our clients (and many of our well-wishers) as to why we do not add alt-coins to our trading strategies, we have respectfully declined to be drawn in and continue to maintain our fundamental principles. To understand why we stay true to our trading with BTC and ETH, please understand this.

Apart from the fact that they have great volumes and liquidity and make our jobs essentially easy, these cryptos are market leaders for a reason. Ethereum already owns almost all the cryptos in the sense that they are all hosted on its blockchain. This mere fact gives it an envious position in the crypto market as a leader, a title that is difficult to be removed anytime soon. It has a strong PoS which is characterized by its “ethical” behavior. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is an outlier. Although it currently does not have much use case, it is the torchbearer of the crypto movement. It was the first crypto asset to be launched and still holds a special place in the market and in the hearts and minds of every crypto enthusiast. It is also taken notice of by the non-crypto community and the first interest in the crypto markets is because of Bitcoin. Bitcoin remains the leader because of its speculative aspect and Ethereum has a certain future.

Our team uses proprietary indicators and technical analysis to confirm our trades. We use a mix of manual swing trading and our high-performance algorithms to make the most of the market conditions.

One important fact is that we don’t use any leverage in our strategies, thus eliminating the risk of liquidation since no borrowed funds are connected to our open position when trading.
For obvious liquidity reasons, we only trade “perpetual futures” on binance (no spot), mainly BTC & ETH, and the top 10 large caps.

🥇 Our trades mature between a few days and 1 to 3 weeks (discretionary strategy / manual swing trading).
Each trade is the same for all our clients, and our clients have nothing to do because the buy/sell is carried out without any intervention on their part; we send a trade to our source, therefore to our own wallet and the trade is immediately replicated on every client account in a few seconds.

🥇 We manage in “limit order” or in “market order” depending on the size of the client’s Portfolio; our software adapts and manages the “slippage” and the “maxi position sizes” to each time on levels below an average of 0.3% in terms of slippage, regardless of the size of the client’s Portfolio.

For the moment, the liquidity on the exchanges confirms that we should stay on with BTC and ETH. We are, however, open to future opportunities, if any, where we may consider other altcoins and integrate them within our trading strategy.

As far as the investment strategy sharing is concerned, we make an allocation on FUTURES wallets. Each day we decide on the allocation of clients’ funds. Unlike traditional hedge funds, we do not take custody of your funds; we only require the trading rights so you can remain in full control of your fund (Binance). Also, we understand you may want to test us with a small amount first; that is why we allow you to start for a few weeks with a minimum ticket entry for testing period only, (Your Portfolio on your Binance account, Futures Perpetual), which is way lower than what you can find in traditional finance. To be a bit more specific, we commit to the security of your funds, and we ensure it through a non-custodial agreement with you wherein we are only allowed reading/trading privileges of your cryptocurrencies which is enabled by an API that you set up from your existing exchange account (Binance.com). As a result, we have no control over your funds, and we cannot move your funds. Also, one important fact is that we don’t use any leverage in our strategies, thus eliminating the risk of liquidation since no borrowed funds are connected to our open position when trading.

A perpetual contract is a special type of futures contract, but unlike the traditional form of futures, it doesn’t have an expiry date. So one can hold a position for as long as they like. Other than that, the trading of perpetual contracts is based on an underlying Index Price. The Index Price consists of the average price of an asset, according to major spot markets and their relative trading volume.

Thus, unlike conventional futures, perpetual contracts are often traded at a price that is equal or very similar to spot markets. However, during extreme market conditions, the mark price may deviate from the spot market price. Still, the biggest difference between the traditional futures and perpetual contracts is the ‘settlement date’ of the former.

CFT bets on price movements of BTC and ETH and trades in perpetual futures contracts. This enables us to realize profits not only when the markets are on the rise but also when the markets are going down. Our algorithms have been designed to help squeeze the maximum profits out of futures contracts and this is the reason behind our success against benchmarks. Our team uses proprietary indicators to confirm our trades. We use a mix of manual swing trading and our high-performance algorithms to make the most of the market conditions.

If the regulation changes CFT will upgrade its company in the Bahamas.

API stands for Application Programming Interface. An API is what allows us to access third-party services (such as exchanges). Your API keys authenticate you with these providers. We use APIs offered by exchanges to gather data and place trades. However, to check your balances and place trades we must input your API keys to authenticate requests.

A “Help” section will be available on each exchange to assist you.

• To obtain your API keys, log in to your exchange account. The API Settings will generally be available on the main menu.
• You’ll then have to set the permissions – the level of operability that the API key will have. The “Trade” permission will allow CFT to transact through your exchange.
• You can then click “Create API Key”. Copy and paste the API Key and API Secret Key and give them to CFT.
