Alpha

Qohort has developed three primary trading environments Alpha, Sigma and Delta. You can select which of these robots to trade with based on your preferences and tolerance for risk. The Alpha programme has been created to pursue a “prime alpha mandate”. 

All of the A.I. machine learning algorithms which Qohort employ are programmed to deliver maximum return on investment by aggressively trading the forex, commodities and equity indices markets continually during market hours; from Sunday evening to Friday evening. 

When Sydney opens through to when New York closes the Qohort code engages in a perpetual trading cycle, constantly searching out profitable trading opportunities during open market hours. 

For example, our default Alpha code may take approximately fifty forex, commodities and equity trades each trading day, with some trades only lasting for seconds others for hours. 

The Sigma programme will be less aggressive in terms of the risk per trade and trades executed. The Delta programme will employ a further reduction in risk and the volume of trades taken. 

Within the spectrum of the three key options, customers have a practically inexhaustible menu of further choices. You can choose which securities to follow, select what level of risk you’re prepared to tolerate and the lot size or the units of currency per trade you wish to commit to on each trade. You can also pre-programme your daily profit targets and place automatic limits on your losses. 

The menu of further choices covering the three key options offers up the opportunity to follow a single robot as it trades one FX pair, such as EUR/USD. Or you could choose to follow a robot trading the four major pairs. Alternatively, you could select an option to trade precious metals only, other commodities and equity indices. 

You may prefer to trade one security only such as the NASDAQ or FTSE 100 index. There’s also the opportunity to trade FX pairs, commodities and equities simultaneously, a programme that’s difficult to monitor as an individual trader but simple for our robots. 

Whatever choices you make the Qohort programme automatically sets the defaults to the lowest risk permissible based on your account size. Initially, the risk per trade is set at 0.1% per account size, with a daily loss limit set at 0.50%. Followers of the various robots are free to adjust their risk lower or higher. However, we recommend remaining in the bandwidth of tolerance which is automatically set as a default as these levels have been used to generate the historical returns which you see published.
