CASE STUDY

Global Trading Platform​

Navigating storms, fifty times a second​

Background

First Derivative’s client is a Japanese headquartered global bank​.

The bank evolved its algorithmic trading strategy to more effectively trade through market volatility and manage position related risk​​.


What we did

A First Derivative full stack pod worked with our client to design and implement these quantitative eFX trading strategies. They included “Storm Surge” and “Whirlpools”​.

“Storm Surge” detects price movements and volatilities, instantaneously adjusting prices to stay ahead of the market​.

“Whirlpools” decreases position related risk using pricing rather than hedging.


The results we achieved

  • Distributes prices fifty time a second across thirty tiers of clients.​
  • Instantaneously updates positions to incentivise market activity.​
  • Protects the bank from market volatility.​
  • Stays competitive in stable scenarios​.​
  • One framework for high and low frequency volatility​
