Who We Be?

Algorithm driven trading focused on Human Habitual Herding is at the core of cxalgo (C. X. Algo). Derivatives are the trading instruments of choice and Bulls, Bears and Foxes constitute the trading zoo and are equally friendly. Economics and financials are meaningless in this game.

Interpreting market emotion is akin to reading body language while aided by Dr. Paul Ekman’s techniques regarding human facial expressions. Algorithms are about empirically driven logic and automation, not the popular but absurd Artificial Intelligence, because Intelligence cannot exist without innate emotion and instinct — although inane emotion is pervasive in today’s society — and without knowing what one/it doesn’t know. We trade Psychology, Patterns, and Probability. Randomness doesn’t exist in markets or the Universe. It’s a matrix of asymmetrical symmetries, and if one seeks perfection, one will never accomplish anything.

We decipher aggregate trader sentiment patterns built from simple, readily available real-time market data. We capitalize as a counterparty to Emotional Rapid Reaction — ERR — and employ a strategy used in Hollywood script writing: GILGOE, or Get In Late, Get Out Early. Trading is analogous to conducting an orchestra: must know what instruments to play and when.

No, this is not gambling, and we don’t view capital as money we can afford to lose — ever!

We don’t provide investment advice of any kind or sell subscriptions, plus all that legal jazz required by the SEC & FINRA as if it has any meaning in the real world. Just ask your politician!

Never bet on a crash or a rally, especially as predicted by a myriad of “experts” that make a living selling foolproof advice to the “one-born-every-minute” crowd. Crystal balls are hardly crystal clear otherwise clairvoyants wouldn’t have to sell their services. In addition, and as it relates to markets and plenty of other topics as we’ve learned recently, those that know don’t talk, and the Pretentious-Yet-Clueless never seem to shut the eff up!

Successful trading requires the stoic discipline and focus of an assassin to achieve a clear and well designed goal while shunning fear and the temptation of greed and the limelight.

Our Illustrious and Diverse Board of Advisors: Bitch, Cranky, Duck and Rock

Obviously we view political correctness, wokeness and cancel culture as social diseases designed to mask human ineptitude. Accepting the reality of people’s limitations, as proven by unbiased and irrefutable socio-techno-economic data highlighting a lack of achievement, leads to the wise allocation of resources and destroys utterly nonsensical expectations and wastefulness. Fantasizing about results that will never materialize while blaming somebody else for people’s shortcomings, decade in and decade out, is never the way to govern society and incurs astronomical costs that we have yet to pay.

Lastly, slugs will never become snails, even if they identify as such and wear a synthetic shell, but it takes an IQ of 3.14 to understand simple logic. Pugs would love to be police dogs, but they’re not qualified for obvious reasons, although they comply with half of the requirements: they’re dogs.

Truth is spoken here, and nothing but the truth, regardless of whose toes we step on, and we couldn’t care less about anyone’s feelings. We’re only anti-stupidity. Cheers!
