BACKGROUND

MarkeTopper was originally conceptualized as an IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) company with a focus on financial markets for the creation of world class trading systems based on a fusion of high end quantitative techniques with technical analysis.

MarkeTopper devotes the bulk of its resources to ongoing research and development aimed at further improving and diversifying a platform of simultaneously traded strategies. The focus for last 3 years has been to create efficient engines which will help us to grow exponentially and gives us the ability to put multiple hundred strategies in any market in a short span of time. In designing our trading systems, we strive to generate high returns subject to control of drawdown.

Since the prime drivers of the system are trading volume and volatility, MarkeTopper's ultimate target markets are the major U.S and European Stock Exchanges. However, in order to establish the appropriate credentials as well as fine-tune system performance and reliability, the first system was customized for trading in the Indian National Stock Exchange (N.S.E)..

Design & Development

The core of the system consists of a series of proprietary algorithms, developed in collaboration with a team of mathematics and physics scholars and tested and validated by a renowned expert in forecasting techniques.

The system has been developed using the standard global platform for automated trading systems.

Testing: The system has been tested exhaustively for over 18 months in live as well simulation tests. All test outputs are computed using the RINA Systems (Portfolio Evaluator Pro) the global standard for portfolio testing platform and our own proprietary portfolio system.
