  Milestones Capital A/S

  Jun 2014 - now

  Managing Director

  Milestones Capital is a systematic, directional program, trading a diversified portfolio of global commodity futures, bonds, stock market indices, and selected currency pairs. Trading algorithms determine a complete set of entry and exit conditions, and the implementation is fully automated.The Company's trading philosophy is to only enter into longer term directional positions on a carefully selective and concentrated basis with a focus on "tail events"​.Historically, the strategy will lead to a limited number of transactions each year with typical holding period of 2 - 8 weeks.Our algorithm-based investment strategy exploits the empirical fact that price formation in periods of "large"​ price movements (typically more than 2x-3x standard deviation) do not follow a "random walk", but instead with a statistical probability that can be determined a priori, follow certain regular statistical patterns. The patterns, which contain both trend following and mean reversion traits, have been unveiled using non-linear categorization methods, including k-means clustering, and complex financial price modeling. Certain qualitative aspects of this process are based on non-linear mathematical models described in chaos theory, including the use of log-linear equations. Among other things, these models suggest that markets are fractal and exhibit scale invariance, and that markets should intermittently exhibit predictable trending behavior over multiple time scales.
