Topaz Global FX

Topaz is an actively managed, high-volume, trend-based trading algorithm targetting the 14 largest currency pairs.

Topaz Global FX is market-direction agnostic and actively seeks opportunities whenever the markets are open. The algorithm driving Topaz places hundreds of long and/or short trades every day.

Since 2021, the team behind Topaz has been executing a more aggressive and higher risk version of the strategy which has returned nearly 60% per year. However, for trademakers, the team has agreed to deploy a more conservative version of this strategy with the goal of generating consistently above-market returns for investors.

Launch Date: July 2021

The potential high level of volatility in Foreign Exchange (FX) market makes the use leverage risky and can potentially be harmful to an investment portfolio, which is why risk management is of the highest importance to program managers.
 
However, the FX market is an old investment “asset class” where professional managers manage to blend the investment strategy with tight risk management. The evolving of volatility in this market can change the leverage of the program from time to time, so the program is adjusted to remain in line with prevailing market conditions.

The Strategy

Topaz Global FX

High-Volume Trading

Topaz Global FX is a high-volume systematic foreign exchange strategy based on the 14 most traded currency pairs in the world.

The Topaz algorithm seeks to identify short-term market trends across these 14 pairs, and is programmed to identify key support and resistance levels across each traded pair and then execute dozens of small, short-term trades based on the trends within these levels. The algorithm, in part, utilises Fibonacci support and resistance levels as the basis of its trading.

The system aims to yield between 2 - 2.5% on average every month. The strategy can close as many as 700 longs and/or shorts per day. To that end, since inception the Topaz Algorithm has won 68% of its long trades and 67% of its short trades.
