WHAT IS ALGORITHMIC TRADING?
In algorithmic trading, computers directly interface with trading platforms, placing orders without immediate human intervention. The computers observe market data and possibly other information at very high frequency, and, based on a built-in algorithm, send back trading instructions, often within milliseconds. (source)
WHAT IS HIGH-FREQUENCY TRADING?
High-frequency trading (HFT) generally refers to trading in financial instruments, such as securities and derivatives, transacted through supercomputers executing trades within microseconds or milliseconds (or, in the technical jargon, with extremely low latency). There is no universal or legal definition of HFT, however. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which oversees securities markets, nor the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which regulates most derivatives trading, have specifically defined the term. By most accounts, high frequency trading has grown substantially over the past 10 years: estimates hold that it accounts for roughly 55% of trading volume in U.S. equity markets and about 40% in European equity markets. Likewise, HFT has grown in futures markets—to roughly 80% of foreign exchange futures volume and two-thirds of both interest rate futures and Treasury 10-year futures volumes. (source)
WHAT ROLE DOES AI PLAY IN THE BLACK FUR TRADING PLATFORM?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables the trading platform to evaluate market data, price trends, and technical and fundamental indicators to identify trading opportunities in short periods of time. The AI component continuously learns from historic and real-time price trends, trade activity, gains, unrealized gains, and its own predictive accuracy. The AI component also guides the trading platform's decision-making process in regards to allocation between assets and asset classes, commitment levels based on the Fund's available assets and open positions, and management of the Fund's net exposure to maximize daily trading capacity.
HOW DO I INVEST INTO BLACK FUR FINTECH OR ITS FUNDS?
Currently, Black Fur Fintech funds are governed by Section 230.506(b), Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. This exemption requires all Investors and Limited Partners of funds to have prior existing relationships with Black Fur Fintech's ownership. Unfortunately, there is no existing path to becoming an Investor or Limited Partner open to the public. All active Black Fur Funds are considered "private placements" or "private offerings".
HOW DO I CONTACT BLACK FUR FINTECH?
Due to the nature of the Black Fur Funds and strict regulatory standards that must be upheld to operate under private placement exemptions, there is no means available to the public of contacting the company directly. Investors and Limited Partners are provided with direct contact information for the Executive Management Team and Fund Service Providers.
