2021-07-21 Notice: Repeater 3 algo slot is fully booked and its waiting queue is also full.
Won’t accept new license requests for (GMT 0) algo repeater  (Repeater3) until further notice.

Autoscalp creates Algorithms.
Autoscalp does not manage third party money and is not interested in such business.
Autoscalp is not interested in partnerhsip with any retail sector brokers or market makers.
Autoscalp is not interested in I.B. agreements of any sort.
Autoscalp is not considering Venture Capital Proposals lower than 25 million or higher than 250 million USD.

Autoscalp is interested to examine partnership proposals in certain countries only. (See Country list)
Documents to be mutually signed: Non Compete Agreement and Non Disclosure Agreement.

Institutionals only can apply for partnership.
Prospective partner’s company must prove to have at least 2 billion USD under management and an ISDA license or a banking license.

As Autoscalp does proprietary research, signing both the Non Disclosure Agreement and the
Non Compete Agreement is mandatory before opening any contact channel for partnership requests.

A letter of intent including a brief list of similar ventures previously joined by
the prospective partner’s company is also required.

Not all executives in a Company can sign NDA nor NCA agreements on behalf of their company
please make sure you have the powers to sign them both.

As by NDA, Partnership negotiation with Autoscalp will be held on a need to know basis:

Autoscalp is not in the need to know, neither will ever ask for your customers names.
Autoscalp is not in the need to know, neither will ever ask to access your customers accounts.
Autoscalp is not in the need to know, neither will ever ask which broker Your Company uses.
Autoscalp is not in the need to know, neither will ever ask which bank Your Company uses.
Autoscalp is not in the need to know, neither will ever ask which funds Your Company manages.
Autoscalp is not in the need to know, neither will ever ask any credentials to access any third party platforms.

What Autoscalp needs to know:
who will be responsible in Your Company for the royalty franchising contract.

Classified by: stategy, capital and structure.

Using Fund classification as by HedgeFundResearch: our algos are compatible if the fund is classified as either Trading, Commotiry, Multicurrency, thus a dedicated compartment can be created within:

Further documentation can be made available after signing our Non Disclosure Agreement and our Non Compete Agreement.

Such documentation will be consisting of:

• Our presentation slides and Executive summary
• Our technology tree , since 2003.
• Our competitors and detailed explanation of their bankruptices.

Autoscalp prototypes and model previews are restricted to institutional business partners. We require our versions of a Non Disclosure Agreement and Non Compete agreement to be signed on both sides before initiating any talks.

After signing both the agreements a live proof of concept can be arranged , either to track our model live
or to remotely view a Managed Futures Fund using Autoscalp Algos and Strategies for creating alpha.

Institutional only [Investment Banks, Venture capitals , Funds, Asset Managers]
can email their partnership requests (see bottom of page).

Our Business Model is production oriented, not customer oriented
Our installed capacity is a predefined number of licenses.

Why all our Licensees / Franchisees etc.  pay same amount:
independently from  their business size, what they manage and for whom,
who they route the signals to, what Banks they use for it , if they are routing signals to whom and why.
Our algos allow us to route signals one way only. No feedback is needed. No third party platform access needed.
So, We are simply not in the need to know those information as are irrelevant for our business purposes.

Why anaelastic pricing:
We don’t lower efficiency to improve a single licensee,  be it a Bank , a Fund, an Asset Manager.
We don’t lower costs of Licenses / Royalties  to accomodate more business partners.
We don’t rise productivity as that would endanger risk quality in the long term.

OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE:
keeping profitability constant while mantaining full production.

Dataset:
license cost is a fixed amount. 33% of profits on a 25M$ fund and license is paid when target is reached (+2%).

Examples:
1) A single asset manager is simply not viable as partner: since licensing cost would be prohibitive to him.

2) For a Family office managing 2 funds allocating 25M$ each license cost is 16.6% of profits.

3) For an Asset management Company redistributing algos on 4 funds (or fund compartments) with 25M$ allocated each: license is cost is 8.32% of profits.

4) For a Fund of funds running the license on 10 funds (subfunds or compartments) allocating 25M$ each: license cost is 3.3% of profits.

5) An Investment Bank running model on its unleveraged treasury with 250M$ allocated. license cost is 3.3% of profits.

Venture Capital / business angels / private equity : can use our models as alternative differentiation method (order flow scale economy) in order to generate more alpha.

Fund Incubators: can create many start-ups around our tech tree and expertise improving learning curve and obtaining a scale economy.

Fund distributors: can organize a co-joined offer to provide our models to multiple funds or multiple units in order to generate more alpha.

Dark pools can use our models to defend themselves against disruptive market maker platform behaviors.

HNWI, asset managers, family offices and Funds can use our expertise and know how including , models, feeds, signals either to generate alpha or as an alternative differentiation method or even to create a fully operational R&D division.

Producers and exporters of stream flow delivered goods (oil and gas) can use our specific models to hedge against base currency oscillations of physical delivery goods occurring during production, shipment, delivery phases.

A conglomerate or banks operating in a gas producing country timely receiving geopolitical signals anticipating gas price spikes and subsequent currency fluctuations.

National and Quasi-National Electric Power Grids, power producers and exporters. Power consumption peaks are sudden by definition and thus might create unexpected exposure to foreign currencies to the power exporter.

Also consider a combination in vertical clusters of the above examples can ramp the learning curve and create scale economy , reduce know-how cost and speed up alpha production or in certain cases just maintenance of the status quo can be of primary importance.

Banks:
Commercial Banks, Investment Banks, Merchant Banks.
[ No saving or loan banks, no banks forbidding usage of third party black box algos by Statute]

Funds:
Closed-end funds
Unit investment trusts
Private funds [ hedge funds, private equity funds and managed futures funds , commodity pools]
Dedicated units , fund compartments or subclasses are more likely to fit our algos .
[ Perspective partner must prove his business dimension is consistent with at least 2 billions USD adding balance in the letter of intent].

If using a commonly accepted Fund Classification Model (strategy, capital , structure) our Algos are applicable to :
By Strategy: Actively Managed, Alpha Focused, Alternative Investment, Commodity Trading (SCF) , Event driven, Fx / liquidity Fund.
By capital type: Business Angels, Mezzanine Venture, Mudarabah, Murabaha, Private Equity, SCF, Seed Capital, Venture Capital.
By structure: UHNWI Family Office, Fund of Funds, Managed Futures, Multi Class / Multi Compartment / Multi Strategy .

If using HFR HedgeFundResearch classification system our Algos are applicable to :
Macro: Active Trading, Commodity: Multi, Currency: Systematic, Discretionary Thematic, Systematic Diversified, Multi-Strategy.
Event Driven: Special Situations, Multi-strategy.
Equity hedge: Quantitative Directional, Market Neutral.

Asset Management Companies:
Enclose proof Your Company AUM is greater of 2 Billions USD in the letter of intent.

Fund services companies:
Specify on behalf of which company you are arranging the proposal for and prove perspective partner’s AUM is greater than 2 Bil USD.

Others in Fund industry:
Enclose proof Your Company AUM is greater of 2 Billions USD in the letter of intent if you are:
a Fund Administrator, a Fund Custodian,a Mezzanine Venture, a Startup Incubators or a Venture Capital.

Notes:
Not all Fund types fit our algos. Creating a SVF or a dedicated unit or compartment could be a solution.
Not all executives in a company can sign agreements and letter of intents on behalf of the company they work for
so be sure you have the legal powers to sign them both before contacting us.

For Brand and Intellectual Property Protection reasons we don’t allow white labeling or re-branding our know how.
Data As a Service is subject to the Country list limitations.

Autoscalp owner uses his algos himself as his personal speculative tools which took many years of devoted commitment and efforts, those tools are also under continuous improvement. So, at Autoscalp We are aware that underneath an apparent business proposal can lie a hostile “procurement outsourcing” or silmilar schemes and Autoscalp has a seasoned experience in actively prosecuting direct and indirect intellectual property theft attempts.

We received many proposals which turned out to be poorly disguised attempts to steal intellectual property, social engineering baits or scam attempts, our policy is now to report them the government authority where the scam attempt perpetrator resides for proper prosecution.

More on the country based Exclusive Master Licensing :

Each Master licensing cost depends on that country’s GDP per capita :
Further details are available only after signing NDA and NCA

To get a B2B exlcusive for a high GDP per capita country :
(Example: Luxembourg) Your company must present a letter of intents on behalf of 2 customers for 25 millions each.

To get a B2B exlcusive for a low GDP per capita  country :
(Example Nicaragua): Your company must present a letter of intents on behalf of 25 customers for 2 millions each.

There are two types of exclusives for each country:  B2B and B2G:

Owning the B2B Exclusives for a country allows the owner to run B2B (business to business) agreements only.

The B2B  Exclusive does not entitle to run B2G  (business to Government) agreements.

Autoscalp is receiving many evaluation proposals coming from various countries
but Autoscalp is interested in cooperating with prospective partners in certain geographic areas only

Autoscalp is very interested in:

B.R.I.C.S. , G.C.C., Next Eleven Countries, Four Asian Tigers, Japan.
Other Middle-East countries: only if oil or gas producing or exporting countries.

Autoscalp is also prospecting African countries:
for the likely increment of their Parity of Purchase Power in the next years and
for those countries tendency not to rely on a compound interest based banking model
as their economies are evolving toward being market driven and not debt driven.

As We had to defend Autoscalp Intellectual Properties  since 2003 We have become proficient in
spotting, signalling and exposing schemes to authorities and watchdogs. , then  our policy is to reject any partnership request:

– coming from companies operating in certain countries [see country list below]
– coming from companies using certain business models [see profiled modus operandi below]:

Austria, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Swizerland… :

Excluded for discriminatory behaviors against foreign owners of intellectual properties.
In those countries the criminal intent against the intellectual property owner is always a clear and present danger:
Modus operandi I scam:
blackmailing the foreign I.P. owner to block local facilitations if does not disclose his I.P.

Modus operandi II scam:
scam/blackmail/defamate the foreigner I.P. owner to gather competitive advantage for the bank.

Modus operandi III scam:
hire the foreigner I.P. owner then blackmail to fire him if does not disclose the I.P.

After the 2007 NY crash hit these countries also, most of them now allow
Algo owners and Developers to signal and report fraudolent banks and banksters to watchdogs.
Still, the default policy of these countries is to allow banks play a “never tell the muppet” scheme
Allowing them to collateralize the customers credit lines without customer awareness and
maximizing the traded volume by default against customer’s interest,
making their banks still unfit for working with us, no matter their size.

European Union :
Excluded for lack of specific laws concerning intellectual property protection for algorithms.
[as is today: if a bank copies, clones, distributes or even steals your algos without the algo owner consent,
is the algo owner who has to prove that such bank traded with such algo… without the algo owner
having any right access to their books to verify it!]
Practice which built a banking-side monopoly in algo ownership being the law biased in bank favor.

Modus operandi IV scam:
banks forcefully ask the Algo owner a full disclosure all his speculative algos before operating to avoid him getting prosecuted for market disruption…lack of compliance… due diligence issues… any excuse goes,  in order to get his intellectual property out of his hands before even starts operating. Then forbidding him from accessing the customers trade records makes sure he won’t get paid at all.
[aka “zero external advantage policy” typical of german banks].

Five eyes countries: United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, + Israel.
Excluded for total lack of respect of foreign intellectual property at all levels of negotiation.

Modus operandi V scam:
Companies operating in the Five eyes countries, have access to extremely efficient illegal server penetrators tools
and through systematic penetration in the algo owner servers they can easily steal the Algos installed.
Is not a rare event, that the same contractor who stole the intellectual property even blackmails
the algo owner to shut up.
Often infiltration happens while algo is still  being developed and then the thiefr could even
try blame the algo owner for stealing… “their algo”,  if that happens before
the algo owner deposited or registered the algo somehow.

If the algo theft is orchestrated by a Government or quasi-government structures or banks
the I.P. owner can’t even blame the perpetrator even if properly identified assuch tasks
are wisely ousourced to external contractors for the infiltration / thefts operations
usually through dummy companies with zero capital to avoid damage requests and the perpetrator exposure.

PIIGS: Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain, Cyprus:
Excluded for total unreliability of their banks. Corruption spreads from top (board) to bottom (promoters).
Their banks are mostly empty or bankrupted but if their citizens are untold to mantain order… bankers know.
Proof: ask a Top Banker of a non- PIIGS country what is the PIIGS real status of PIIGS banks.

Modus operandi VI scam:
Since just the banker knows customers have no more money on accounts (ponzi or soft dollar schemes)
either the algo owner is available to “cook the books” or won’t be allowed to work with the bank…
is then highly likely that the Algo Owner won’t get paid anyway in any case.

Modus operandi VII scam:
If rather than on profitability the algo owner is asked to optimize (maximize): volumes rebates and commissions,
means that the bank is close to the boling point and probably the Algo Owner won’t get paid anyway.

Autoscalp is also NOT interested in:

• selling Autoscalp units separately or Autoscalp models separately
• participating in white-labels or mother/child nested companies schemes
• participating in pseudo start up proposals hiding a reversed mortgage scheme or a procurement outsourcing scheme
• participating in any cover-up structure resembling the following schemes:
  pyramidal, Ponzi, boiler room, pump and dump, bucket shop, soft dollar, ICO.
• Brokers, retail investors, bank employees, I.B. and promoters of all sorts must abstain from proposing us anything.

Typically who tries to circumvent the above requirements resolves in derogatory or defamatory statements.
In that case We’ll automatically report all those statements in the form of a very detailed report:
– to the financial watchdog of his country of residence,
– to the financial watchdog of the country he works in,
– to his employer’s watchdog and his employer’s Board for future reference.

As an attempted scam against us is perceived by us as such, We always signal the perpetrator to the proper authorities:
– anti money laundring,
– anti-corruption
– anti-fraud agencies.
In certain areas that could alert religious or political police.
in certain areas watchdog are allowed to bait the perpetrator to expose his wrongdoings malversions and malpractices.
In certain areas, Autoscalp could even be entitled to receive a percentage on the sequester .
[Depending on local whistleblowing laws].

All suspected scam attempts will be sent to the following sites : www.rsa.com www.antifraudintl.org www.419baiter.com www.419scam.org and other [undisclosed] sites for further cross-checking.

As Autoscalp also switched to a distributed network partnership model NDAs also included need to know basis and compartmentalized access clauses including penals on eventual disclosures.

hence the following paragraph will not be updated.

The most likely reasons why we rejected counterparts, ordered by statistical relevance, most relevant on top:

counterpart was not institutional ( we didn’t even read it )
counterpart failed to read partnership and disclaimer
counterpart failed to disclose its data
counterpart resides in a country we are not interested in
counterpart masked a hidden hostile intent
counterpart tried to re-negotiate after the handshake

The above paragraph of “Partnership we don’t consider” is obsolete and was last updated on december 2013.
That paragraph is still published with the only intent to facilitate a potential partners’ self-screening against
a potentially flawed or fraudulent partnership agreement attempt.

Brief about the author: HFT – algo model developer, algo copyright owner.

We require signing a mutual Non Disclosure Agreement and a Non Compete Agreement before any discussion concerning Autoscalp models can even occur. After those agreements are mutually signed you will allow our lawyers take information on you (powers to sign) and Your Company, (to check if fits requirements). Further steps will be depending on the partnership type chosen by Your Company. Specification about eventual guarantees:  given the high value of the intellectual property is involved,
will be in the form of lawyer deposited escrows.
By previous experiences: P.O.F. (proof of funds) or B.I. searches etc. are not enough and just brings more cross checks during the reciprocal due diligence process.

Through signing the NDA  contract Your Company will be expressly FORBIDDEN from attempting any hostile takeover or act as proxy for a third party attempt to do that, as Your Company won’t even be allowed to disclose about the ongoing negotiations with Autoscalp to whichever the third party involved  and whichever the outcome. Specific penals also prevent various types of wilful or accidental disclosure.

Signing the NCA contracts Your Company will be forbidden to provide objects not in  line or against the master contract. In detail, Your Company will be then forbidden from proposing us: mezzanine financing, reversed morgage, tender offer, attempted takeover, MBO, LBO, LIMBO, MIMBO, spinoffs, merging and demerging, procurement outsourcing, ICO, ICO tokenization… or any hostile takeover attempt direct or indiirect or otherwise disguised in the partnership proposal cluster contract. Being the behavior to use the main contract as a mean to insert hostile proposals, or steal intellectual property, unfortunately quite common, specific penals and damages clauses have been added

In short: the malpractice to try alienate our intellectual property through a seemingly friendly contracts has happened so often that proper countermeasures had to be taken in a very early phase of the negotiation.

We then decided to engage in pro-active defense of our intellectual property:

though the help of the best lawyers specialized in International copyright laws, though the help of the best law firms specialized in intellectual property protection, through a very peculiar and proactive behavior during the start-up phases, through a wise stock options and profit fees combination at back end.

Example:
to disincentivate oppurtunistic behaviors, each time a negotiation with a counterpart is suspended, next negotiation with same partners starts with a 2% increase on license pricing: that makes sure wasting time to try taking time and competitive advantage is not an option.

Your Company will not be allowed to disclose our partnership agreement to any third party. This is convenient on both sides, on your side because your competitors won’t know you’re using our models and on our side because we don’t want our know how to become public or redistributed . Protecting our intellectual property is a core issue to us.

We make a pro-active use of the Non Compete agreement specifically created to avoid some of the aforementioned issues and to protect our brand and image. Then by signing our Non Compete Agreement Your Company certifies that:

Your Company is not trying to act as proxy for a third party trying to appropriate of our proprietary tools
Your Company is not trying to sell mortgages or reversed mortgages to us
Your Company is not involved in procurement outsourcing schemes against us
Your Company is not playing “introductory broker” practices against us
Your Company is not involved in “captive hosting” practices against us
Your Company did not lose more than 20% of its principal.
Your Company is not going to keep more than 50% of the profits
Your Company is registered as an institutional investor in its country

Your Company does not invest in business considered unethical by Sharia Law

1) As by NDA specs:
Your Company will create an Ah-hoc Company to which Autoscalp will provide signals to.
Your Company will be the ONLY customer of the The Ad-hoc company.
Your Company won’t be allowed to disclose who the Ad-hoc company algo provider is.

2) As by NDA specs:
Your Company will NOT list Autoscalp in the company provider’s list. The Ad-Hoc company will be listed instead.
Your Company or its subsidiaries won’t be allowed to negotiate / renegotiate with Autoscalp directly
as Autoscalp will be the algo provider of the Ad-hoc company, not of Your Company.

3) As by NDA specs:
Approval of all Autoscalp requests is a prerequisite for the Ad-hoc company to start receiving the algo feed,
independently from the contractual form chosen [licensing, SAAS, Royalty Franchising etc.].

4) As by NDA specs:
While The Ad-hoc company will be forbidden from disclosure to any third party about doing business with Autoscalp,

Your Company will be required to officially DENY any involvement with Autoscalp

thus accepting Plausible Deniability Penals which are triggered in case of wilful or accidental disclosure.

5) As by NCA specs:

To prevent a possible infiltration of potential fintech competitors masking as man in the middle or disguising themselves as partners: our models don’t use leverage by default and assume Autoscalp to be already connected to primary price feeds and need no “introductions” or “facilitation” to get access to primary sources in whichever market.

6) As by NCA specs:

To avoid extraction of potential I.P. harming information and to protect our brand , image and our copyrights :
Autoscalp does not allow re-branding or white labeling of its tools. Any disclosure of the usage of such tools will also be expressly forbidden by the reciprocal NDA Your Company is required to sign before any negotiation can take place.

Autoscalp is NOT looking for customers.

Institutional only can apply for partnership.

Prospective partner’s company must prove to have at least 2 billion USD under management and an ISDA license or a banking license.

Autoscalp is not considering Venture Capital Proposals lower than 25 million or higher than 250 million  USD.

Autoscalp is not interested in potential partners who lost more than 40% of their principal.

Autoscalp is interested in certain geographic areas only.

First documents to be mutually signed ahead of any further disclosure :

Non Disclosure Agreement , Non Compete Agreement

Enclose a letter of intent when transmitting the signed NDA and NCA as the powers of the person who signed them.

Enclose a brief list of similar ventures Your Company has successfully joined.

Timing: from NDA to UAT: 2 months.
After reciprocal signing of NDA and NCA, expect business intelligence information gathering and screening process to take at least one month on our side. After that, one more month is needed for reciprocal agreements concerning due diligence and compliance issues.

Partnership Q&A:

“Algo Licensing cost is not clear”:
8333 $ per workday.
166666 $ per month.
2000000 $ per year.

“Dedicated Allocation size is not clear”.
No Fund, no licensing. (No retail Finance allowed).
If Your Fund can’t callocate a dedicated line of at least 25M USD , Your Fund can’t afford our licensing cost.
If Your Fund wants to allocate more than 2B USD, We can’t afford the expected output volume.

“Licensing terms are not clear”.
Your Fund will be allowed to redistribute the raw algo output you receive (I.E. to dilute costs on other sub.funds)
but Your Fund won’t be allowed to disclose who received it from (NDA)
and Your Fund won’t be allowed to resell it to third parties (NCA).

“Country list is not clear”.
No licensing for “FIVE EYES” countries and PIIGS countries.

If you confirm Your Company agrees and fits the above requirements and that you are entitled  to represent Your Company in binding agreements then you can ask for a specific non disclosure agreement (NDA) and a non compete agreement (NCA) at publicrelations@autoscalp.com
