Do you use some type of algo or are the trades entered manually?
Your whitepaper focuses a lot on generalities, if you can provide some solid investment strategies I may invest.
I see you use MT4. What makes you different than other algo traders?

@GITTIGER,

First of all, I would like to make it clear that we are not raising funds at the moment for the investment fund. We have two different services; one is the exchange, the other being the fund. The fund will be launched privately, without crowdfunding. And after the launch, we will make an IPO announcement. So stay tuned for that! On the other hand, we are raising fund for the company to act as a Turkish lira gateway to the Waves platform. The ICO announcement is here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitkapital-ico-is-live-2nd-phase-crowdsale-between-16-30-june-1471855

That being said, I don't use MT4, and the image on the mainpage of our website is just a dummy placeholder. I use the software of my broker, which is Xtb. But also, this is not the broker we will use to manage the fund. We are considering Interactive Brokers or Exante as the prime brokerage company we will work with.

As for my strategy, it is a combination of relative value arbitrage and equity long/short. I have developed a system to measure risk. Depending on both fundamental and technical aspects, together with a background of a global macro perspective, I evaluate the risk of a certain portfolio, rather than predicting prices. And the asset allocation is handled by a modified version of the post-modern portfolio theory. Thus, I don't say that "this stock will go up"; I would rather say that "including this stock to my portfolio will increase the risk this much with that much potential ROI." After deciding on my middle-term (6 months to 4 years) plan in this way, I begin making short-term (less than 6 months, may even be a few day long) goals, and execute trades on a systematic basis to build up or evolve the portfolio. I don't utilize quantitative trading methods, but I can make use of statistical projections regarding the macroeconomic data. Occasionally, I also check the qualitative features of companies, like the management team's qualifications and vision.

You can reach out my track record here: https://bitkapital.com/track.html

In that track record I also utilized a masking strategy to prevent a possible reverse engineering of my trade execution process. All in all, I have made 95% ROI in 5 months, which is way above my ordinary target, which is 30% per annum.

As for the investment fund, I will use the above strategy on NASDAQ large-cap stocks (leveraged long/short) with the 60% of the AUM. 20% of the AUM will be spared to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, which will be managed by our co-portfolio manager, who is an experienced pharmacoeconomic analysis expert. The remaining 20% will be spared for free investment, such as private equities, currency markets and real estate. For now, we are thinking of investing with this 20% portion in blockchain startups.

Best,

Jian
Awesome stuff! This is what I like to see. I will be watching closely.

30% return goal... guys you can make millions if that's true. Why are you here talking to small fish?

Because we don't have enough capital.

Dear all,

The first phase of our ICO was completed, and it was just as we expected, that is, almost half of the offered shares have been sold. There were 40 shares offered, each representing 1% ownership of Bitkapital Exchange, and 19 of them have been distributed to the investors.

In the second phase, the remaining 21% is divided into 210 shares, each representing 0.1% of Bitkapital Exchange's capital stock. The following link will take you to the ICO announcement page: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitkapital-ico-is-live-2nd-phase-crowdsale-between-16-30-june-1471855

I am grateful to all the supporters and observers.

Keep finance sexy!

@cloverme,

The difference between the DAO and Bitkapital Investments is that the DAO's investment decisions are taken by the public vote whereas for Bitkapital Investments, the fund will be managed by a professional portfolio manager.

Best,

Jian

I see ok, I wasn't sure.... everyone's got a smart contract dao ethereum internet of things jiggymobopper going  Grin

Glad to see someone is planning to use waves.  I've been thinking about it,  but there's a lot of token based systems out there, it's difficult to decide which one will be the winner in the end.  Regardless, I invested in waves anyway.

Are you posting number of investors and amount invested somewhere?  

It is 13 sold out of 40 at the moment, which makes 16,250 USD, which is 32.5% of our goal.

Why are all the statements for a person named ZÜHTÜCAN SOYSAL?

Because my legal name is Zühtücan Soysal, the name which mortals use to refer to me regarding the stuff they think is serious.

Dear all,

You may find the broker statements regarding the performance track record at https://bitkapital.com/track.html. The statements' authenticity will be audited by third parties soon.

Also, please be noticed that 123.6% quarterly ROI is way above our expectations. We aim at reaching a quarterly 10% gross profit. The fact that the last three months have proven to be so profitable should be considered as an extraordinary luck by all means.

Speaking of Waves...



YURI GAGARIN

The first man that was launched into space, and he is a back end developer at WAVES now?

Born: March 9, 1934, Klushino, Russia
Died: March 27, 1968, Kirzhach, Russia

Lmao

He was so excited to work on Waves that he came back from the dead.

And bring us to the moon  Grin Cool

Can someone please confirm this  Huh 

I would very much like to have Yuri Gagarin on the dev team...  Maybe not to develop anything software wise,  but more as emotional support as the coin reaches space and possibly the moon...
We could use a guy with this experience

Who's Yugi Gagarin and what's his role in Waves?  Huh

Is it possible that some parts of the world don't have search capabilities with their Internet access?

He was the first human to journey into outer space, when his Vostok spacecraft completed an orbit of the Earth on 12 April 1961.

It still baffles me that why would a legit company register its domain name using whois guard. If you are there for the long run, you would not be afraid of people knowing your registration information, more so for an investment company. Nice share names you have too Cheesy

@Quartx,

I am a public person, and not only will I send my ID scan to the shareholders together with the signed copy of the funding agreement, but also each legal document showing that Bitkapital is authorized to perform its operations will be presented publicly. If there is a way to take the WHOIS guard back, and if that will make investors happier, I can do it as well.

Moreover, it also seems that many investment management companies register their domain names under a WHOIS guard. So we follow the fashion.

2) Bitkapital Investments - Investment funds on the Waves platform. The fund company will be registered in the British Virgin Islands, and will be the first investment fund provider to issue shares on blockchain. The investments will be made in NASDAQ large-cap stocks, and the profits will be distributed as dividends on the Waves platform. Our trading performance track record is reachable at https://bitkapital.com/track.html.

Post Script

This article gives a very good insight on the concept of digital assets: http://bitfury.com/content/5-white-papers-research/bitfury-digital_assets_on_public_blockchains-1.pdf


Post Post-Script

Bitkapital is an independent blockchain-finance initiative which aims to operate on the Waves platform. We are not an approved gateway or anything alike whatsoever. Thus, we officially have no relation at all with the Waves platform, nor its developers, officers, directors, employees, or agents. Please do regard Bitkapital as being related to the Waves platform only by way of an intention on our part, in that, we intend to set up the company and apply for being a gateway.
