I’ve been an independent participant in various financial markets that stretches over forty years, while in times past, becoming one of the largest OEX index options traders. Out of the blocks, in all likelihood, I made every trading mistake known to man. Having experienced the volatility of index trading, I realized the significance of having a quantitative and systematic approach, thus embarking on the purposeful campaign of creating a workable trading system. After years of testing higher-order polynomial regression methods and technical analysis theories with actual trading, our system’s algorithm was formulated, and through continuous research and improvement, has maintained sustainability. Despite the fact alpha returns do matter, the investment process is far more reaching. Z-alpha’s vision is to generate positive returns year in and year out, and our mission embodies the strength of mind and adaptive tactical procedures to secure this visionary end.

Under our beliefs and principles, the keys to exceptional long-term results include maintaining a broadly diversified portfolio with excellent liquidity, all the while habitually seeking to avoid the interruption of the annual frequency of compounding.
