About Valhalla Capital Group – MS1 Program

The MS1 program was developed over the past 3 years by our development team. The MS1 is a well defined mathematical algorithm (automated trading system), designed to provide the necessary instructions to forecast potential price action and trade the resulting momentum of fundamental news announcements around the globe ahead of other traders who must analyze and trade these announcements manually.
The algorithm was developed and programmed to receive market data feeds from different paid data sources including Bloomberg and Reuters. This means that we have data being streamed from these major news providers, which typically are streamed through to our trading system in advance of other mass market news sources releasing the same announcements (may be seconds or milliseconds before in some cases). This data being received is then sent directly into our trading model that is programmed to analyze the actual news release and establish whether it should or should not enter a position. Our trading system will analyze the effect of that data’s deviation of the actual news result against the market’s prior forecast. From there, the system can make a prediction about the likely movement of the market in the seconds to follow, and can place its trade automatically ahead of the market’s ability to process the data and do the same manually.

Risk Management
The system is designed to block the risk of inefficient position fills by the broker, as the system is programmed to surpass a trade if the entry is not within a specific price range. The system was also programmed for minimal open market exposure, as most trades are entered and exited in a short window of time. Given the model’s rare drawdowns exceeding 10 - 15%, the trading advisor will suspend any further trading if the equity of the portfolio falls below 20% of its beginning monthly balance. This is to ensure that all system issues, broker issues and market issues are identified and resolved. Given the high degree of risk in forex trading, no guarantee can be made that a stop loss order or equity stop will be honored by the broker at the requested price. Due to market volatility during news announcements, clients must invest only risk capital that they can afford to lose in the event of a market gap that falls outside of the trading advisor’s risk management settings, resulting in unavoidable losses that cannot be controlled by either the trading advisor, system or broker.
