GuardMark Trading Operations: History
GuardMark has been developing advanced Forex trading strategies for several years. Recently, GM joined forces with BlackHole Forex as a White Label Partner to provide clients with access to proprietary trading services and more recently to offer Managed Forex Account Services.
In 2008, with some 12,500 man hours invested, a trading plan evolved into a project which was inspired by the development of the Electronic Communications Network (ECN), which provided for orders, large and small, to be placed electronically on a first-in first-out basis. This put the small trader on a level playing field with the global megabanks and thus created a new and exciting retail trading environment. With the data collected in hand, GuardMark researchers began to create and develop algorithmic strategies with hopes that they could be robotic. An additional 10,000 man-hours expended created more than 40 working robotic systems, nine of which showed remarkable promise. However, even the most powerful computers seem to lack the intuitive input that only humans bring to the process.
Research was expanded to Austin, Texas where more than 90 full-time and part-time computer operators were deployed to test the "base algorithm" and gather more data. It became clear through this project, that success would require a hybrid of the robotic strategy which utilized trained observers to make trading decisions based upon signals given by the algorithm. Since 2010, more than 10 million test trades were audited and this confirmed that a strategy that included trained human traders could win nearly 90% of the time consistently.
Early in 2014, live trading (trading with real dollars) commenced from the South Florida trading room. Since then, our Strategies have been refined to produce reliable return on capital in excess of 4% per month. These were returns on deposits and note that a maximum of 50% of the trading capital was at risk at any given time.
GuardMark strategies and services are proven and trusted amongst accredited investors who understand and accept the risk of Forex trading.
