Do you use some type of algo or are the trades entered manually?
Your whitepaper focuses a lot on generalities, if you can provide some solid investment strategies I may invest.
I see you use MT4. What makes you different than other algo traders?
@GITTIGER,
First of all, I would like to make it clear that we are not raising funds at the moment for the investment fund. We have two different services; one is the exchange, the other being the fund. The fund will be launched privately, without crowdfunding. And after the launch, we will make an IPO announcement. So stay tuned for that! On the other hand, we are raising fund for the company to act as a Turkish lira gateway to the Waves platform. The ICO announcement is here:

I use the software of my broker, which is Xtb. But also, this is not the broker we will use to manage the fund. We are considering Interactive Brokers or Exante as the prime brokerage company we will work with.
As for my strategy, it is a combination of relative value arbitrage and equity long/short. I have developed a system to measure risk. Depending on both fundamental and technical factors, together with a background of a global macro perspective, I evaluate the risk of a certain portfolio, rather than predicting prices. And the asset allocation is handled by a modified version of the post-modern portfolio theory. Thus, I don't say that "this stock will go up"; I rather say that "including this stock to my portfolio will increase the risk this much with that much potential ROI." After deciding on my middle-term (6 months to 4 years) plan in this way, I begin making short-term (less than 6 months, may even be a few day long) goals, and execute trades on a systematic basis to build up or evolve the portfolio. I don't utilize quantitative trading methods, but I can make use of statistical projections regarding the macroeconomic data. Occasionally, I also check the qualitative features of companies, like the management team's qualifications and vision.
You can reach out my track record here:

As for the investment fund, I will use the above strategy on NASDAQ large-cap stocks (leveraged multistrategy long/short) with the 60% of the AUM. 20% of the AUM will be spared to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, which will be managed by our co-portfolio manager, who is an experienced pharmacoeconomic analysis expert. The remaining 20% will be spared for free investment, such as private equities, currency markets and real estate. For now, we are thinking of investing with this 20% portion in blockchain startups.
Best,
Jian
