F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions:
Why can’t I buy a membership and start using the indicators/systems right away/now?
Our indicators, models and systems are mainly intended for more advanced and experienced traders and investors. At the same time, we don’t want them to be available to thousands of people because in algorithmic / quant trading it often happens that a certain market edge disappears if huge masses start using it.
Therefore, if there are vacancies/free seats in our club, we will send interested parties a questionnaire and a basic quiz to verify their basic knowledge and experience with trading, risk management, etc. – so that we can be sure that they understand the issue / trading and investing problematics.
if you are interested join our waiting list here
Another reason is that we want to put our tools in the hands of more experienced traders who know how to combine technical, macroeconomic and fundamental analysis, master the principles of risk and money management, etc. we don’t want to put them in the hands of everyone who is starting out, because during our investing career we witnessed how beginners relied only on a single indicator (and did not do a deeper fundamental and macro/sentiment analysis of the market at all), did not use the principles of risk management, etc.
How long have you been involved in algorithm development and data analytics? What is your experience?
Behind the company Monblard analytics is a team of developers who have been developing digital signal processing software for more than 19 years. (They develop hardware and software synthesizers, VST plug-in processors for recording studios, etc. and have cooperated with companies such as G-Sonique, Acoustica audio Inc USA., XChange Canada, Ampethron and others, their products are used by thousands of customers all over the world (including Grammy award winners) Read our complete: About us
Can your indicators and models predict the future and future prices?
No indicators or models anywhere in the world can predict the future! It is impossible and anything can happen in the world up to extreme black swan events (war, meteorites, pandemic, banking crisis etc) . Indicators and models are used for statistical data analysis and help traders in practice to determine short-term and long-term trends, mean-reverting, to understand the current state of the market, possible mood levels and economic data, to simplify and visualize a chaotic amount of data / information, etc. We are not financial advisors and the indicators (or technical / quantitative analysis) are not used/should not be used to accurately enter and exit trades as a single source of information. They can be like one part of a mosaic for simplifying and processing complex data and information in the hands of an experienced trader. Of course, it is not recommended to rely only on indicators and models, but to use your own reason/thinking/knowledge, your own research in the field of fundamental and macroeconomic analysis, analysis of well-founded fundamental analysts, etc. Despite the fact that the future cannot be predicted, insurance companies or casinos work exclusively with statistical and probability calculations and can usually be very profitable. We personaly combine technical, quantitative, fundamental, macro analysis in our own personal trading.
If your strategies and indicators are so good why aren’t they secret and you don’t just trade them yourself?
First of all, our strategies will only be available to a limited number of participants. Professional trading / investo-trading is still about combination of technical analysis, sentiment/macro-economical analysis, information, news etc. Technical indicators / Quant / Algo / Data / Statistical math calcullations are helping tools, not main tools to enter or exit trades. Of course we trade, but we compound, we do not withdraw from the account. Investing and investo-trading is only meaningful if you use the power of compounding and in a few years the account will snowball. As Albert Einstein said: “Compound interest is the 8 wonders of the world, those who understand it earn from it, those who don’t understand it pay it.” Investing is only for the patient. If we regularly withdraw money from the account, we will significantly reduce interest and the exponential effect of compounding. George Soros made an average of 30-35% per year and started with 200k, which he turned into more than 20 billion, most of which he gave to charity, Warren Buffet made an average of 15-24% and by compounding them, he created a fortune of an incredible 128 billion. If they withdraw money from trading account extremely, they would reduce the exponential effect of compounding and the resulting bill might not even be a quarter of possible performance (try to do your own calculation). That’s why most hedge fund managers live on fees and put all the money they earn back to the fund. In our country, with EU legislation, it is very difficult to establish a hedge fund without an army of lawyers and investors, we currently prefer to use our time to develop strategies. We have therefore decided to share our strategies and indicators with a limited number of investors (so that their activity cannot have any significant impact on market movements), at the same time we use them for our own trading, but a monthly subscription from the public, if there are, say, more than 300 participants it allows us to cover the costs of development and research while keeping our own funds used for our own investments without having to withdraw them. We consider this to be the most reasonable solution at the moment.
Why are indicators not also available as mechanical strategies?
Because we don’t believe in fully mechanical strategies and many things cannot be programmed fully mechanically. Sucesfull trading / investo-trading is still about combination of technical analysis, sentiment/macro-economical analysis, information, news etc. Computers still cannot think, even in the age of AI. Read our article in the knowledge section. Also, even the most successful algorithmic and quant funds are constantly tuning algorithms (every few days to weeks) and constantly employ so-called monitoring team that observes trades that execute algorithms and operationally follows them up, fine tune setings of algo software, changes risk and position limits, monitors news and fundamentals, sentiment, macroeconomic environment. We also convert each of our indicators into a strategy and test its effectiveness on mechanical strategies. However, indicators are not the only tool for entering trades – fundamental analysis, analysis of the macro environment, sentiment, news, etc. is also necessary. That is, a combination of several types of analysis, not only technical / quantitative / statistical.
