Frequently Asked Questions

The Constant Position - also called Deep Zero is an IBAX proprietary Mathematical solution, which in Algorithmic form delivers AI based Quant systems for primarily High Frequency trade and analytics.

 Quantitative trading (also called quant trading) involves the use of computer algorithms and programs—based on simple or complex mathematical models—to identify and capitalize on available trading opportunities. Quant trading also involves research work on historical data with an aim to identify profit opportunities. 

The IBAX Innovation Lab was born as a research initiative seeking to developed a Financial Model for Emerging Market in 2017. The result was the EM2 Market Model, however no technology was capable of delivering the framework to implement EM2 in practical terms. The IBAX Innovation Lab was founded with the vision of being a true Market Model Quant. 

Quantitative traders take advantage of modern technology, mathematics, and the availability of comprehensive databases for making rational trading decisions.

Quantitative traders take a trading technique and create a model of it using mathematics, and then they develop a computer program that applies the model to historical market data. The model is then backtested and optimized. If favorable results are achieved, the system is then implemented in real-time markets with real capital.

The way quantitative trading models function can best be described using an analogy. Consider a weather report in which the meteorologist forecasts a 90% chance of rain while the sun is shining. The meteorologist derives this counterintuitive conclusion by collecting and analyzing climate data from sensors throughout the area.
