Innovative, Technology Driven Algorithmic Software Company

Model Technologies the creator of a proprietary investment trading algorithm, named ZEN360

ZEN360 is a systematic strategy designed to function effectively in both low and high volatility market conditions. It uses dynamic leverage to generate controlled outsized returns on margin assets under management – M-AUM, rather than nominal assets under management – N-AUM.

It uses a method that places multiple trades that factor in potential small losses, while placing emphasis on achieving larger gains when presented with volatility.

The Platform

The technology has been designed and built so that it can be assigned to 1000s of products. The platform can source required market data via API connections.

This will run multiple calculations from our database to determine trading decisions, be it, type of order, buy or sell, how much risk to apply or running internal analysis.

A gateway router is then used to determine the best exchange or market to execute a trade, this is all completed in fractions of a second.

WHAT IS ZEN360?

ZEN360 is a systematic trading strategy that offers excellent risk management, whilst at the same time producing outsized returns. These returns are generated across all markets, whatever the conditions and regardless of volatility.

Indeed, when the market state becomes more volatile, ZEN360 performs better. Other strategies however, would typically turn down risk or withdraw from the market altogether.

At these times ZEN360 leans further into the market by utilising its dynamic leverage component without compromising its daily risk parameters.

HOW WE MANAGE RISK

ZEN360 is an intra-day risk specialist. It is critical it manages downside risk each trading day. The most important part of its design therefore is its four-factor risk management module.

This module runs a top-down approach. Firstly, it manages the pre-defined downside for the entire platform for any trading day – the global master level. It will then manage the risk for each individual product. Lastly, each algorithm within each product.

  • GLOBAL MASTER RISK MODULE
  • PRODUCT RISK MODULE
  • PRODUCT SECTOR RISK MODULE
  • ALGORITHM RISK MODULE

VERSATILITY ACROSS MARKETS

The design of ZEN360 allows it to be applied to multiple sectors and products simultaneously, for example single stocks, futures, and FX. It works especially well in markets with tight bid/offer spreads and higher trading volume.
