Trade. Differently.
We architect and deploy proprietary, fine-tuned language models for alpha generation in physical commodity markets. Our technology stack enables systematic extraction of value from informational asymmetries that traditional financial systems cannot process.
Our Technology Stack
A vertically integrated approach to quantitative trading, from model architecture to execution infrastructure. We build everything in-house because the market demands precision that off-the-shelf solutions cannot deliver.
Hyper-Specialized Model Architecture
We develop domain-specific transformer architectures using parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods including QLoRA, AdaLoRA, and custom attention mechanisms. Our models are trained on proprietary datasets combining structured market data with unstructured geopolitical intelligence, supply chain logistics, and regulatory filings.
Alternative Data Pipeline
Real-time ingestion and processing of satellite imagery, shipping manifests, regulatory filings, and geopolitical intelligence. Our ETL infrastructure handles petabytes of unstructured data daily.
Custom Hardware Acceleration
Purpose-built inference clusters optimized for low-latency model serving. Our hardware stack includes custom FPGA implementations for critical path operations.
Systematic Alpha Generation from Information Asymmetries
Traditional credit models and risk assessment frameworks fail to capture the complex interdependencies within global supply chains. Our technology systematically identifies and monetizes these informational dislocations, particularly in markets where ground-truth data contradicts conventional financial metrics. We operate in the gap between what markets think they know and what actually drives commodity flows.
Model Architecture & Training
Our approach to language model development prioritizes domain adaptation over scale. We believe that specialized, efficiently-trained models outperform general-purpose systems in high-stakes trading environments.
Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning
We leverage QLoRA (Quantized Low-Rank Adaptation) and custom adapter architectures to achieve domain specialization with minimal computational overhead. Our fine-tuning pipeline incorporates:
- Rank-decomposed adaptation layers for efficient parameter updates
- 4-bit quantization with custom dequantization schemes
- Gradient checkpointing for memory-efficient training
- Custom loss functions optimized for financial time series
Multi-Modal Data Fusion
Our models process heterogeneous data streams through specialized embedding layers and cross-attention mechanisms designed for financial applications:
- Time-series transformers for price and volume data
- Graph neural networks for supply chain relationships
- Computer vision models for satellite and shipping data
- NLP pipelines for regulatory and news analysis
Training Methodology
Curriculum Learning
Progressive training on increasingly complex market scenarios, from historical backtests to live market conditions with adversarial examples.
Reinforcement Learning

Domain Expertise: Energy & Commodities
Our primary focus is the global Oil and Gas market—a sector characterized by extreme volatility, complex geopolitical dependencies, and massive informational inefficiencies that create systematic opportunities for technologically sophisticated participants.
Market Inefficiencies We Target
Supply Chain Opacity
Traditional credit models fail to account for the complex, multi-layered relationships within global energy supply chains. We map these relationships in real-time and identify creditworthy counterparties that conventional systems overlook.
Geopolitical Risk Mispricing
Markets consistently misprice geopolitical risk due to their reliance on lagging indicators. Our models process real-time diplomatic intelligence and regulatory changes to anticipate market movements before they occur.
Logistical Bottlenecks
Physical commodity markets are constrained by infrastructure limitations that create predictable arbitrage opportunities. We model global logistics networks to identify and capitalize on these constraints.
Our Competitive Advantages
Proprietary Data Sources
We maintain exclusive relationships with data providers across shipping, logistics, regulatory, and intelligence sectors. This gives us informational advantages that cannot be replicated by competitors relying on public data.
Technical Execution Capability
Our team combines deep domain expertise in energy markets with cutting-edge machine learning capabilities. This rare combination allows us to identify opportunities that pure-play tech companies miss and execute them more efficiently than traditional traders.
Operational Flexibility
As a private firm, we can move quickly and take concentrated positions when our models identify high-conviction opportunities. We're not constrained by the risk management frameworks that limit larger institutions.
We Are Not A Technology Vendor
We are a technology-driven trading house. Our models, our infrastructure, and our alpha generation capabilities are developed exclusively for our own trading operations. We do not sell software, provide consulting services, or license our technology to third parties.
Our business model is simple: we use superior technology to generate superior returns in physical commodity markets. Every line of code we write, every model we train, and every system we deploy serves this singular purpose.
Our Philosophy
We operate at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and traditional trading expertise. Our approach is grounded in the belief that sustainable alpha comes from systematic advantages, not market timing or speculation.
Technology as Competitive Moat
In an increasingly efficient market, sustainable competitive advantages come from proprietary technology and unique data sources. We invest heavily in both, creating compounding advantages that become more valuable over time.
Our technology stack is not just a tool—it's our primary source of alpha. Every improvement to our models, every optimization to our infrastructure, and every new data source we integrate directly translates to improved trading performance.
The Edge is Sacred
Our most valuable insights come from identifying opportunities that others cannot see or cannot act upon. We guard our methodologies, data sources, and analytical frameworks with the same discipline that we apply to our trading operations.
Information asymmetries are finite resources. Once exploited publicly, they disappear. We engage with markets and counterparties only when necessary for execution, preferring direct, private transactions that minimize information leakage and preserve our competitive advantages.
Boutique by Choice, Not Constraint
Selective Engagement
We work only with counterparties who understand and appreciate our approach. Quality of relationships matters more than quantity.
High-Touch Operations
Complex transactions require personal attention and deep expertise. We prioritize direct, relationship-based business development.
Long-Term Perspective
We optimize for sustainable, long-term performance rather than short-term gains. This requires patience and disciplined capital allocation.
