Our strategy
A disciplined, discretionary gold mandate.
One instrument, two sessions, four principles. The strategy aims to capture intraday opportunity in XAU/USD while keeping drawdowns contained.
Session structure
Activity concentrates on the London and New York sessions, when gold's liquidity is deepest and price discovery is most reliable.
Macro awareness
Positioning is framed around the US dollar, real yields and scheduled macro events. Exposure is reduced into high-impact releases.
Intraday execution
Short-horizon, two-way trading. The desk can be long or short, and seeks to capture the day's range rather than forecast the year.
Risk first
Position sizing is set relative to treasury equity, with a daily loss limit after which the desk stops trading for the day.
What we trade
One market. Understood deeply.
The mandate trades a single, deep and globally liquid market: spot gold against the US dollar. Concentration is deliberate. It lets the desk specialise in the market's session rhythm, liquidity pockets and macro catalysts.
