Fuelling Growth, Impacting Change, and Innovating with CAT V2.0
Fuelled by Purpose
Driven by Artificial Intelligence
Unlike many Venture Capital firms Singularity Ventures is not focused on utilizing other people’s money. Instead, we are leveraging algorithmic trading as a means of growing our own private capital quickly, to fund purposeful projects. As a result, we have created Coherence Algorithmic Trading (CAT) – a unique approach to automated trading. Imagine a super-smart computer program following market trends, catching trend changes, and reaping substantial returns. A program that monitors world events, takes advantage of opportunities, and quickly removes risk. A program informed by history and learns from it’s own experience, continually optimizing itself. This is what we are creating. This is CAT. This is the backbone of Singularity Ventures.
Our Founder's Journey: Trust in Our Experience
Morgan Maryk, the owner of Singularity Ventures and the mastermind behind CAT, is an experienced trader with a rich history in financial markets. His trading journey began during the dot-com bubble era and rekindled while serving as a Border Guard. Seeing trading as a way to make a bigger impact in the world, he took a leap of faith, selling his apartment and diving full-time into trading in 2014. Despite experiencing the emotional highs and lows of trading, his resolve remained unshaken.
Morgan's relentless pursuit of consistent results led him to a certificate in algorithmic trading from the University of Oxford. During that time he met his now lead developer who had obtained a PhD in Artificial Intelligent (AI) Decision Theory, while also having experience working at Nasdaq. Along with a capable team of developers, who have backgrounds in Physics, Mathematics and Data Analytics, they developed CAT.
The Birth of CAT: Harnessing Core Trading Strategies
We spent 9 months developing CAT, our first Algorithm, which verified the effectiveness of our core strategy, with the help of some basic machine learning (ML). Primarily utilizing technical analysis, a method of predicting future price movements based on historical patterns, to identify changes in market trends, CAT outperformed the U.S. Stock Market (S&P500) in all but three years from 2007 to 2021. Although these results were achieved in backtesting, not live trading, our method was so robust that it took months processing the 14 years worth of data. This enabled CAT to trade the market as though it was seeing the data in real-time.
Let’s put the performance of the first version of CAT in context. The S&P500 had an annual average return of 12.24% from 2007-2021. The Medallion Fund from Renaissance Technologies, considered the world’s leading quantitative trading firm (a fancy way of saying, they use Algorithms, instead of people, to trade their capital), had an average annual return of 87.15%. Our first version of CAT had an average annual return of 56.89%.
CAT Version 2.0: Deep AI Integration
Identifying areas for improvement with CAT we are investing another 9 months of development. This will enable the integration of currency trading (forex) and lower timeframe execution, providing increased opportunities, with more trend changes in forex markets, especially on the lower timeframes. We are also integrating our proprietary AI decision making engine into every aspect of CAT V2.0 to take advantage of the increased opportunities. Imagine an expert trader who never gets tired, never succumbs to emotions, has all the information from how the market responded to similar world events in the past, and continuously improves – that's what AI brings to the table in CAT V2.0. It uses a more advanced ML, a type of AI that enables systems to learn and improve from experience, to constantly evolve, mitigating risk while maximizing profit. Additionally, CAT V2.0 is being designed with the unique ability to continuously monitor news and economic events, reacting accordingly, catching opportunities and removing risk.
Exponential Potential
We are so excited about CAT that we could not help but share at least some of the details of what we are developing. Upon completion of CAT V2.0, we will begin allocating the majority of profits generated to our EcoVenture fund, to help support purposeful projects.
Stay tuned!
