How does it work?

The basis of RTFX’s Asset Management Service is a system called “Shiva”. This system generates signals, which have been tested over a long period of time, based on daily market movements and volatility. From these signals, the system generates sale or purchase transactions on spot forex contracts. In order to maximize profitability, transactions are entered into at very specific intervals during the day. It is therefore not unusual to have many small sized transactions being executed over the course of the day in order to keep a constant pulse on all daily market movements. At the same time, in order to minimize risk, open positions are automatically and systematically closed at the end of each trading day.

Using this system, RTFX is able to identify market trends during the day and capitalize on them. The signals generated by the system are most efficient, and can be highly profitable when markets are volatile or form a clear trend during a trading day. In times of range trading though, our Asset Management Service will have a tendency to underperform and can, in fact, lose money.

However, looking at the historical performance achieved by our Asset Management Service, it is important to note that, while the system lost money more frequently than it made money, the average daily profits were much higher than the average daily losses. In other words, on those days where the market moved out of a range trading cycle and became more erratic, the system’s performance more than compensated for any loses that had been generated during the range trading periods. Thus, in the medium to long-term our Asset Management Service has historically been able to generate returns superior to those of other asset classes. It is therefore an attractive investment option for investors who have medium-term objectives and who can tolerate large, short-term fluctuations.

To ensure full transparency, all RTFX Asset Management clients have the ability to monitor their account and the positions that RTFX has executed on their behalf via secure online access. Clients can also download the history of all transactions as well as their performance.
