01
What is Artificial?
Artificial is a systematic algorithmic trading firm. We apply advanced data science to uncover statistically robust patterns in financial markets.

02
Do you use AI, agents, etc?
We keep our approach deliberately simple and are selective about adding complexity. Our strategies rely on a handful of high-quality signals. Every attempt so far to incorporate AI or agents has only degraded performance.

What markets and instruments do you trade?
We currently trade highly liquid ETF options in the US market. On the horizon are US single-stock options, followed by international expansion and crypto derivatives. We will continue to focus on derivatives: they deliver the outsized gains we seek, albeit with considerable volatility, which we actively manage.

What is your investment horizon?
For the instruments we trade, we firmly believe the future cannot be predicted — only the immediate future. We therefore hold positions for minutes, and rarely for hours.

How is risk managed?
Risk management spans everything from position sizing to hard exits triggered by pre-calculated thresholds. The entire process is automated and predefined, with no human discretion.
