Investment Strategy
Pleiades FX program seeks risk-adjusted absolute returns (pure Alpha) which are uncorrelated to other investment strategies,
by trading in the most liquid and transparent Currency Markets (G10) only. It is a robust, high capacity investment vehicle, based
entirely on systematic trading algorithms. The underlying strategy is momentum driven, based on a ‘in house’, mathematically
built consolidation indicator which determines direction and market entry and exit levels. It is blended with a proprietary trend
following system.
Approach & Style Investment Opportunities

automated, systematic trading that relies solely on the price of the choice of the client. Managed account
underlying asset as the only input for the model. TSA successfully programs are:
runs the following models: PLEIADES ∞ intraday FX*
• 4tT ∞ long term model that is also used on a hourly ANDROMEDA ∞ intraday FX*
analysis
ORION ∞ hourly FX*
• FSD ∞ intraday market data analysis centered around price
ranges that define short term consolidation AQUARIUS ∞ daily FX and gold**
• PPCFO ∞ intraday market data analysis used by this trend MIDAS ∞ hourly spot gold
following tool centered around moving averages HEPHAESTOS ∞ hourly gold & silver
The models are built around a mathematical formula that describes * EUR/USD - EUR/JPY - EUR/GBP - USD/JPY - USD/CH -
the notion of “consolidation” (a side ways price pattern/congestion) GBP/USD - USD/CAD - NZD/USD - AUD/USD - GBP/JPY -
and tries to detect this phenomenom in an early stage. TSA has AUD/JPY

Special note to our investors/Manager Commentary
We think that events, whatever they are or wherever they happen, are totally irrelevant until the moment they start
affecting prices in the market. We will not pass a personal judgment on these events, we will only take note of the
change in market prices, analyze this and take appropriate action.
We analyze the markets in an automated, non emotional way, allowing repetition of the analysis. Automated,
repetitive analysis is done 24/5. Returns for investors must not depend on a human being with all his flaws, but on
a thoroughly tested system.
Although draw downs are part of the investment cycle, we are confident that the models are robust enough to
withstand changes in market circumstances and this rules out “optimization”.
