No one can accurately predict the markets 100% of the time. It is all about statistics, probability and risk reward ratio.

OpixTrade the backbone of Opix Algo

OpixTrade is a cutting-edge trading and analytical platform that is specifically designed for order flow analysis. It is equipped with all of the tools you need for a deep and convenient market analysis.

A1. Data Analysis : Order Flow Analysis

Opix Algo analyses the market microstructure by the order flow to obtain data of volume distribution and limit orders to determine the demand/supply-range of market makers. Makers’ order flows is highly informative and have the strongest predictive power for exchange rates and likely reflects key fundamental information. Their order flow has permanent forecasting power, whereas order flows originating from the other groups only predict transitory changes in exchange rates. These data can be transmitted to predict high volume areas to facilitate price discovery and develop reliable yield curves.

We believe that order flow is a valid proxy variable for private information and is often used in our research in the forex, equities, bonds and futures markets. Order flow analysis allows us to read the data below:

A2. Data Analysis : Market Depth Analysis

A key function of Opix Algo is to reduce the FX market’s opaqueness by taking information from the market data from trading venues and creating an aggregated picture of prevailing market conditions that informs execution decisions. This aggregated view also referred to as the aggregate order book, provide estimates on transaction volumes in near real-time.

 

The main aim of this analysis is to reduce market impact, decrease slippage and to predict future price movements based on the transaction data (price, size and direction) for real-time decision making of minimize execution cost.

B1. Algorithm: Linear Regression Algorithm
Linear regression is a classical mathematical and statistical tool used to measure the association between two variables. If there is an independent variable X and a dependent variable Y that depends on X, linear regression can help us to get a linear model that best fits the data set using the equation Y=α+βX.

Opix Algo predicts asset price changes based on the changes in microstructure by using linear regression models. It makes these predictions by first finding a set of coefficients which best fit the training data, in which the best fit is determined by minimizing a certain cost function. After it has found the coefficients of (β), it makes the predictions by multiplying the coefficients with the input variables for a given asset. The data inputs are but not limited to, asset prices, trading volume, technical indicators, limit order book, order size and time frame.
B2. Algorithm: Artificial Neural Network (ANN)

Artificial neural networks-based decisions are developed for bidding strategies, risk management, analysing patterns and prediction of performance. The ANN has the ability to learn and generate its own knowledge from data inputs such as orderbooks, bid-ask prices, order flows which try to predict the assets price changes by giving a solution. In time-series problems, the ANN is required to build a forecasting model from the historical data set to predict future data points. In short, ANN model is sufficient to gain insight into the directional change of the market by classifying the demand and supply patterns.

B3. Algorithm: Dynamic Time Warping Algorithm

The dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm is an efficient method to match patterns inside a trading system. DTW is a time-series alignment algorithm for measuring two sequences of vector values by warping the distance until an optimal match between the sequences is found. Opix Algo implements DTW to automate matching and determination of the trading position at the predicted price range.

D. Opix Algo: Performance Metrics

The results are reported with different filter values. Opix Algo breaks the results down into different trading performance metrics as follows:

Total gain ​

Total Gain = Σ Profit / Loss ​

Largest loss per trade

Largest Loss per Trade = Minimum [ profit/loss ]

Largest gain per trade

Largest Gain per Trade = Maximum [ profit/loss ] ​

Average profit per trade

Average Profit per Trade = Total gain / Total No. of Trades​

Winning trades

Winning Trades = Σ Trades|(profit / loss > 0) ​

Percentage of Winning trades

Percentage of Winning Trades = [ Σ Winning Trades / Σ Buy_Signals + Σ Sell_ Signals ] x 100

Percentage of Correct Trades to Perfect Foresight

Correct Trades = Σ Trades|Signal PF
Percentage of Correct Trades to Perfect Foresight = [ Σ Correct Trades / Σ Trades ] x 100

The analysis method that we stated in this page is the strategy of Opix Algo. It is derived from volume, orders and trades data from our data providers. Our algorithm has shown that linear regression model can determine the variables of microstructure and market depth; the ANN model can classify the patterns of demand and supply zone, and store the values of the resultant trend vector for DTW algorithm to predict the future price range. By the same measure, the makers warehouse volume is an integral piece of data due to the maker’s role and capital in fx markets.

When combine these models, Opix Algo is profitable even with a basic trading strategy. Thus, we conclude Opix Algo is sufficient to gain insight into short-term directional change and ability to trade in high volume price range in the forex market.

RISK

ALGORITHM SAFETY

Market risk arises from adverse market moves, potential failures of algorithms, IT systems and processes as well as human errors.

Opix Algo Pre-trade controls

check on market orders before they are sent to the markets. They allow for automatically blocking or cancelling orders as soon as trades occur outside defined price thresholds, surpass a maximum size, or post and excess number of orders automatically.

Opix Algo In-flight controls

allow users or providers to adjust execution parameters during an execution, often when market conditions change, or the algorithm behaves in an undesirable or unexpected way. This is important, for example, in instances of particularly low liquidity when market makers could dominate trading volume or stop trading altogether.

Opix Algo Post-trade controls

involve continued monitoring of intraday market and carrying trades with counterparties when limits are breached. Algorithms identify errors and potential issues, analysing the particular scenarios and improve execution strategies and risk controls.
