Who we are

  • A team of 5 led by Richard Edwards, a trader, economist and mathematician, trained at 3 major banks and IBM
  • The team core has worked together for 30 years with over 100 years collective experience in markets
  • The team has designed complete exchanges, financial instruments, and forecasting methods
  • All have 'STEM' backgrounds and front line experience in financial and commodity markets

3

The Problem

  • Everyone in financial markets shares a common desire – to see them clearly through the fog of events
    • This can be the whole landscape or,
    • Pieces of it, in greater detail
  • The data is multi-dimensional so it is a difficult task and current tools are not up to the job
  • Much time and effort is wasted trying to gain insights from sifting through raw data or a series of 2D displays

4

The Solution

  • 3D & 4D Market visualizations are the answer
  • 30 years of R&D have led to three unique viewers  
  • These allow analysts and traders to see many different variables ‘live’ at the same time
  • Which makes the whole market visible ‘at a glance’ and much easier to compare and trade
  • Many more products and services stem from this, such as a new commodity market

Drake Howell will launch these, one at a time

The story

Problem:

Too much to see

Solved by:

New 3D displays

Which combine to make:

A 3D virtual market

6

This video plays for 10 seconds

This ribbon is made of six delivery months of Crude Oil futures, updated 'live' together

All move up-and-down, roughly in sync but differences between them build up over time

These differences can easily be seen in animated 3D through the Glass Wall as the ribbon twists.

This is a strong predictor of imminent change in the market and is vital for traders

7

This video plays for 19 seconds

This surface is made from crude oil call options for different strikes & expiries, also updated 'live'

They move as a group, up and down mostly together but there are ripples and rhythms.

These patterns are important to traders and can only be seen in 3D, when animated to make 4D

8

As a result…

 

  • 3D & 4D Market displays create many more possibilities
  • Seeing markets better makes comparison easy
  • Adding a variety of data sources means side-by-side derivatives valuation possible
  • Price comparisons leads directly to trading, if a marketplace is available
  • This new comparison portal will provide that and should attract a large share of trade in commodity derivatives

The Mercantile Exchange meets Zoom

This is a virtual space

Where traders gather

View basic blocks to build custom derivatives

Make offers & bids for these complex products

Which will bring tighter prices

And a great increase in trading

10

Covid brings fear of close contact, so we will accelerate the launch of this portal to provide 'distanced' trading sooner

Development

  • The 'Glass Wall' 3D & 4D viewer is ready to launch soon
  • The option viewer will launch a few months later
  • The comparison portal can launch after 12-18 months

 

11

All these products will allow trading. It is the main purpose of the comparison portal and the viewers will add it after a few months.

Revenues from trading fees will be higher than from subscriptions

Revenues will come at each stage - see document links in slide 13

 

Further planned products are:

AI training ecosystem for hedge fund trading algorithms and 3D & 4D data visualisation for other activities such as medicine and logistics

The Opportunity

Invest £1.5m equity

 for working capital

(equivalent to $1.85m)

The 'pre-money'

valuation is £4m,

so £1.5m = 27.3%

Multiple revenue streams from large available markets

Aim for >$1bn valuation

after 4 years with

potential for >$10bn

12

Covid consequences

1. We cannot see any negative effects to our plans from the pandemic

2. Costs have fallen as work for developers has declined - cheaper for us now

3. The need for a virtual market place for commodity derivatives has increased

4. We will accelerate portal development and so create the marketplace sooner
