// The Approach

Where the
returns
come from

At high-frequency timescales, the order book itself carries information. Small, repeatable patterns in how price and liquidity move over the next fraction of a second can be measured — and traded — thousands of times a day.

Our system reads that microstructure continuously, acts only when the expected edge clears costs, and exits fast. Returns are built from many small, largely independent decisions rather than directional bets, which is what lets us aim to perform whether markets are rising, falling, or going nowhere.

That is a demanding way to trade. It only works with execution and risk infrastructure that most trading firms don't have — which is precisely what Fib16 has built.

// Market Making

Liquidity is
what we
provide

Market making is at the core of what Fib16 Trading does. We continuously quote both a bid and an offer, standing ready to buy and sell so that other participants can trade immediately, at tighter prices and in greater size.

Our quotes add depth to the order book, narrow the bid-ask spread and help keep markets orderly through changing conditions. It is the liquidity that exchanges depend on, and we provide it systematically, around the clock, entirely with our own capital.

01 — Two-Sided Quoting
Always in the book

Our systems maintain live bids and offers across a broad universe of instruments, refreshing quotes in microseconds as the market moves so that prices stay tight and executable.

02 — Intelligent Pricing
Fair value, tick by tick

Quotes are centred on a continuously updated fair-value estimate built from order-book microstructure, and widen or tighten automatically with volatility and trading costs.

03 — Quote Defence
Predictive, not reactive

Machine-learning models anticipate short-term price moves and toxic order flow, adjusting or withdrawing quotes before they can be picked off, so we can keep quoting tight spreads sustainably.

04 — Inventory Control
Balanced by design

Quotes are skewed automatically to keep inventory close to flat, with hard position limits per instrument and across the book. Our aim is to earn the spread, not to take directional risk.

// Strategies

Two Systems,
One Framework

Crypton · Crypto Derivatives Live

Crypton

High-frequency market making and short-horizon trading across the most liquid cryptocurrency perpetual futures. The edge comes from reading order-book pressure and acting faster and more selectively than the rest of the book.

Terrax · Futures In Development

Terrax

Systematic intraday trading on liquid futures, applying the same execution engine and signal framework to a regulated, capital-efficient market — broadening the markets we trade and diversifying our sources of return.

// The Edge

Hard to Build,
Harder to Copy

01 — Execution
Sub-millisecond, in-house

A proprietary execution engine connected directly to venues over FIX, run from co-located / direct-market-access infrastructure. At these frequencies, execution quality is the strategy — and it isn't something off-the-shelf can deliver.

02 — Signals
A machine-learning alpha stack

Models trained per instrument read dozens of order-book features and estimate short-horizon direction, fill probability and trading cost. The system only takes a trade when the predicted edge clears those costs.

03 — Anomaly Defence
It knows when to stand down

A dedicated monitor flags market states that don't add up — order-book pressure with no matching trade flow, the signature of spoofing — and pulls the system out rather than trading into manufactured signals.

04 — Access & Data
Institutional plumbing

Direct institutional relationships with major venues, FIX connectivity, volume-based fee tiers, and high-quality historical data for research and model validation — the unglamorous foundations that make the rest viable.

// Risk Management

Designed to
lose small

Risk control isn't a layer on top of the strategy — it's wired into every order.

Hard exposure limits apply per instrument and across the book. The anomaly monitor stands strategies down in disordered markets. An automated kill-switch halts trading on latency, connectivity or loss thresholds before small problems compound. Capital is committed to each strategy gradually and increased only as live performance justifies it.
