Fine Tuning Financial Trading

Just as F1 drivers and their cars have to perform at absolute peak to get to number one, so do the financial trading strategies we research and develop at Capital Science.

Both are precision-engineered to every aspect of the team's needs and put through rigorous, extensive testing day after day.

A research and support company, our design lab creates everything from your financial technical trading strategies to tools for strategists and the front office.

Specialists in the fields of foreign exchange and fixed income, we drive optimal performance through:

  • Design, formulation and testing of new trading strategies.
  • Back testing and tuning of current strategies.
  • Automated trading programs using the international standard FIX protocol for both market data acquisition and trade execution. We are FIX certified by a leading ECN platform provider.
  • Data analysis and research, supported by sophisticated, intuitive presentation of results.
  • Dedicated tools to harvest information from the Internet.

Our History

  • The first Treasury Management system designed around the in-house bank principle.
  • The first 4GL application development tool (used by non programmers to build a leading UK Corporation Tax product).
  • A portfolio management system for fixed income hedge funds that enabled them to capitalise on the emerging opportunities presented by credit default swaps.
  • Margin trading applications for foreign exchange and oil futures that enabled innovative margin definition, measurement and control.
  • Customised applications for Korean long/short equity houses.
  • Robust communication solutions for information transfer between our clients and their trading platforms, prime brokers and fund administrators.
