Professional Training: Certificates of Investment // Algo Trading
CERTIFICATES:
WHAT THEY ARE, STRUCTURE AND EMISSION
Certificates are instruments that allow you to invest in alternative ways on the stock, currency and commodity markets. Investment certificates are securitized derivatives, which means a combinations of financial contracts embodied in single securities by the issuers; which can be traded like stocks.
What are derivatives:
In general, derivatives are contracts whose price derives from the value of another underlying defined financial instrument:
They are contracts used for hedging or trading
They are listed on financial markets, although the majority of them are traded between operators, off-market, or otc (over the counter)
The most prominent derivative contracts are futures and options
Certificates structuring and issuing process
STRUCTURE
Certificates consist of options strategies, designed to allow the investor to benefit from downside protection, coupon flow or yield enhancement.
They are passive management instruments which, in their simplest form, replicate the performance of the underlying instrument. This replication is generated through a process that does not allow the manager to make investment choices.
Among the many combinations, the structure will allows you to benefit from capital protection, regular interval coupon payment and a great number of other option. Certificates, unlike a direct investment in shares, do not give the right to dividends distributed by the underlying instrument.
Dividend however, are used by the certificate issuer to finance the purchase of options; that gives the certificate the opportunity to generate a different performance from that of the underlying instrument.
There is a sort of an exchange between the dividend and the options, which brings clear benefits to investors in certificates when the markets are lateral or bearish.
In order to provide an efficient certificate structure, the issuer evaluates the economic impact of the dividends on the price of the selected securities. When there are no dividends, there are different strategies that can be implemented.
ISSUING
A certificate will be issued after determining the value for the calculation of the payoff at maturity and for the positioning of all the relevant levels. This value is the “strike” price.
The strike price is technically the exercise price of an option; in the certificates it corresponds to the so-called “initial fixing of the underlying,” which is established at the observation date specified in the prospectus.
The strike price is essential for the life of the certificate; from there all the levels are then set, such as “barriers,” “caps,” and “autocallable triggers.” Such levels will never change during the life of the certificate
MARKETS
Certificates of Investment are traded on all major Stock Exchanges. Their liquidity is ensured by Market Makers, which facilitate the meeting of Supply and Demand.
Types of certificates
Although the combinations are many, the investment certificates can be grouped into four macro categories:
1 - Protected capital:
2 - Conditionally Protected Capital:
3 - Unprotected capital:
4 - Leverage:
ALGORITHMIC TRADING
WHAT IS, TYPES AND ROBOTS
WHAT IT IS
Such software implements a heuristic, an algorithm, which for convenience is called “robot.” Once attached to a trading platforms (provided by brokers), it will carry out Buy and Sell operations on various financial instruments.
Robots are therefore algorithms, or rather a series of instructions given to the computer in a particular sequence, to open and close buy and sell positions on OTC (Over The Counter) markets, where it is possible to speculate on the price change of currencies ( Foreign Exchange or Forex), commodities, indices (such as S&P500, NASDAQ, etc.) and many other financial instruments.
TYPES OF
ALGORITHMIC TRADING
Based on strategies:
• Price Actions;
• Technical indicators;
• Trading Strategies: Breakout, Trend Following, Reversals, etc.
Based on calculations:
• Mathematical Models: negative progression;
• Statistical Models: Fibonacci, Elliot, etc.
Hybrid:
• Which include both strategies and mathematical models
• Which include Artificial Intelligence components
HOW ROBOTS ACCESS THE MARKETS
To allow robots to operate, it will be necessary to open an account with a broker. There are many brokers and in every part of the world; only a few, however, have all the authorizations provided by official and internationally recognized bodies.
Furthermore, only a few are large enough to set up operations in different parts of the world, with decentralized servers, partnerships with major liquidity providers, and segregated bank accounts for their clients.
It is therefore important that the chosen broker belong to the small group of the best, in terms of quality, solidity and reliability. Once an account is opened, you need to select the best trading platform for the robot to use. This is then installed on a server, or VPS, where the robot will operate seamlessly.
