In recent years, investors have been searching more and more for high-frequency trading (HFT) systems that use algorithms to trade the markets. There are many tactics these HFT firms use in order to snatch up profits with their automated trading programs. One such firm is the London-based Pro Financial, which has been trading since 2003, but only opened their trading funds to retail investors in 2008.

Pro Financial (http://pro.financial) recently announced their most successful trading year since the company’s inception, recording 84% trading gains on their high-risk Minotaur Fund from last year January 1st until December 31st. The fund is the company’s follow-up to their original medium-risk Phoenix Fund, which rose by almost 55% in 2014.

“It’s been an exciting year for us,” said Gary Edwards, CEO of Pro Financial. Gary is no stranger to the trading industry having held numerous positions in various countries throughout the world. “I actually started my career as a personal aide to the CEO of a small investment house. ...
... That is the job that brought me to where I am today.”

However, Gary is not one to focus on previous achievements. “We need to continue moving forward and embrace the newest technologies and financial instruments,” he says. His most recent venture, just announced last month, is ushering in a new era of investing – virtual currencies.

And with computer-generated currency, Gary believes he has found the holy grail of investments – profits at near zero risk.

“These currencies, such as Bitcoin, are in a growth phase at the moment. They are indeed volatile, but there are a number of ways to utilise virtual currencies that give you generous returns with an absolute minimum risk.”

Skepticism being what it is, Gary is not yet willing to share his grand vision for free profits, but he promises some more details as he continues to perfect these virtual trading methods.

“There will be doubters and skeptics. There will probably be a lot of hostility toward myself and the company about how we can claim such things, but we have been arduously assessing our strategy and we have yet to see a loss from even one trade. It has been truly remarkable and 2015 holds many surprises.”
