POLER Capital is a financial markets trading company focused on achieving exceptional risk-adjusted returns through market cycles.
What we do
POLER Capital trades FX, Commodities, Stock Indices and Cryptocurrencies. We occasionally trade individual stocks.
POLER is an acronym for the Path Of Least Resistance, which guides our market philosophy. Sometimes this path is well-established, and at other times its uncertain or changing.
Sometimes there are subtle clues to the direction in which a particular market is most likely to move. For example, from its price reaction to news or events.
We seek to discover the path of least resistance and follow it, provided that there is an asymmetrical opportunity for the risk taken.
How we do it
Technology is used extensively both in R&D and in Trading. We have coded a robust system built upon open source frameworks.
Yet, technology is not everything. We value human insights, particularly in selecting where to focus.
We like to describe ourselves as AI-enabled. That is, Augmented Intelligence. Enhancing human analysis with tools and code.
Fully automated trading can bring subtle perils, such as from data snooping. We believe, however, that both risk and trade management are best coded due to human biases and the potential for emotional distortion.
