Algorithmic Execution & Quantitative Advisory
SYSTEMATIC TRADING DESK
Capturing structured and systematic patterns through algorithmic execution: A proprietary trading desk built on robust, quantitative risk management.
Strategic Overview
Our portfolio combines multiple systematic strategies, using automated, rule-based software to reduce emotional bias in trading decisions.
Risk management is a central part of our approach. Our objective is to generate returns within predefined risk limits, with a focus on managing drawdowns while recognising that returns are uncertain.
Each portfolio has a Predefined Annual Drawdown threshold, measured from the highest account balance reached within each calendar year. For example, with a 20% threshold, if an account reaches a peak of $10,500, trading is designed to stop if the balance falls to $8,400, representing a 20% drawdown. The threshold resets each January.
This is a system-defined risk-control measure, not a guarantee against losses exceeding the threshold.
Our strategies are available to follow through BlackBull Markets’ CopyTrader platform, provided by a broker licensed by New Zealand’s Financial Markets Authority (FMA). This allows followers to automatically mirror trades in their own accounts in real time.
For transparency, our performance is independently tracked through Myfxbook. Reported returns are before performance fees and reflect actual trading results using real capital. Please note that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
Portfolio ZERO (Blueprint)
Portfolio ZERO officially launched in February 2025 after a period of development, trading our own capital through Eightcap, an Australia-based broker.
Portfolio ZERO trades up to 30 liquid assets across foreign exchange (~62%), commodities (~21%) and global indices (~17%), using 6 automated strategies.
With an average trade holding period of 3 days, this portfolio may suit those with a long-term investment horizon of 3 years or more who are comfortable with return volatility.
As explained above, the Predefined Annual Drawdown for this portfolio is set at ~20%. The maximum recorded annual drawdown to date is ~12%.

The Predefined Annual Drawdown threshold for this portfolio is ~20% per calendar year, as explained above.
