GTA Group's philosophy is that the global currency, commodity, and interest rate markets have recurring regular patterns. The team uses technical analysis to recognize these patterns and look for potential exhaustive and bottoming inflection points. The team then fuses these inflection points with advanced price and time patterns to derive potential trade ideas. Idea generation typically comes after days or weeks of studying the markets, developing a cyclic theme, then determining the proper currency trade vehicle. GTA Group believes that they can generate alpha through identifying these global cycles and imploring exceptional risk management and trade management procedures. The work is very hard to recreate yet simple to implement. The methodology is best described as pattern recognition swing trading that manages the risk by trading when the pattern completes. The GTA Group monitors over 50 commodity interests to look for multiple points of confirmation on currency trades. The GTA Group utilizes the inter-bank market in its currency trades and currency options trades. In the future, GTA Group may trade any commodity interests that are now or may hereafter be offered for trading on United States and international exchanges and markets. A vital part of GTA Group’s trading strategy is sound risk management. The good times, when the markets are in trending periods, will take care of themselves. GTAs trading strategy is designed to endure the imminent non-trending periods in order to profit when trends in the markets do occur.
