SummaryWe are announcing the ICO of SIFT – an Ethereum token that is backed by a trading fund. The
ICO is now open until September 15th, 2017.
Smart Trader is a software product that was created in 2007 after a discussion on one of the world’s largest forex trading boards. It uses market volume and range data to determine what the largest investors are doing before the rest of the market has reacted. This is an advanced technique that we call Smart Volume Analysis which has its roots in volume spread analysis and isn’t often used by retail investors.
Since its creation, Smart has developed its own unique signals which have allowed thousands of traders to reliably and consistently make money – In fact, many of these traders rely on Smart as their primary income stream.
Smart Trader has been significantly improved and upgraded in the past year and as a result it is able to predict movements in the crypto markets with a high degree of accuracy. Our algorithms use artificial intelligence to build a complete picture of a market’s trends over time. With the huge one-day fluctuations in crypto values over the last couple of months Smart has proved itself with most signals returning between a 75% and 100% hit rate depending on the signal and currency.
Smart is now launching an investment fund with funds raised via an ICO for Smart Investment Fund Tokens (SIFT). SIFT can be purchased at a rate of 0.01 Ether via a smart contract and the total amount of SIFT that can be raised during the ICO is unlimited. The amount raised will directly relate to the initial fund size – the more raised, the larger the trading balance.
At the end of the 45-day ICO the fund will start trading following a number of rules and risk-mitigation techniques that are detailed further in our whitepaper. Once a month, half of profits will be returned to investors in the form of dividends (paid in ether via a smart contract) whilst the rest of profits will remain in the fund so that the asset value grows.
Having completed a significant amount of testing, including multiple simulations based on historical trading data, we believe that returns on investment of 40% per year are realistic and expressed by both dividends and asset appreciation.
SIFT is supported by five different smart contracts at launch that are detailed further in our white paper. In addition to managing the token and ICO, contracts exist to allow shareholders voting decisions in the future direction of the fund, to pay dividends and to expose transparency information about money held by the fund. Bank account balances and trading fund account balances will be published to the blockchain daily with read-only API keys made available where possible. Once per quarter these figures will be externally audited and the results of audits made available immediately.
Smart Investment Fund itself will make money by a management fee applied to the fund. This fee is only charged when the fund makes a profit and the fee is capped to never exceed a percentage of gross profit. A full breakdown of the profit calculations is detailed further in our whitepaper.
We’re really excited about bringing the benefits of our proprietary Smart Volume Analysis to crypto-currency trading. There’s a lot more information in our white paper for additional reference and we’d love to answer any questions that you may have.
