Capital Markets
In the last 20 years, the ability to trade the capital markets has undergone substantial growth due to technology. While many people seek to participate in the capital markets by trading, the question becomes what is the ultimate meaning and purpose? Taurino Capital believes that the capital markets are a way for society to focus its resources on the areas of utmost importance. The given price of a security at a given point in time is society’s opinion of the value of that underlying subject in that moment, whether it be technology, banking, science, or any other number of products and/or services. Investing in the capital markets is a way to invest into the development of humankind. Through fractionalization, the capital markets are an opportunity for people of all economic backgrounds and levels to participate in humanity’s greatest advancements. With the ability to participate in the financing and share in the rewards of the most impactful technological innovations and paradigms the world has to offer, trading in the capital markets is truly a privilege and one that we at Taurino Capital take very seriously.

Taurino Capital Trading
We actively trade our own capital or the capital of our private partners using proprietary algorithms and trading signals. We trade long-short positions depending on market conditions and sometimes will hedge an investment in an attempt to maximize profits or lock in a gain. We vigilantly seek trade set-ups where supply-demand imbalances deliver an opportunity for profit. While we seek to trade in multiple markets, our primary focus is on the US futures and equity markets. Additionally, there are times when a derivative such as an option can be the appropriate instrument to trade. While no investment is ever guaranteed, we have designed our trading system with a mathematical understanding that over the long term our goal is to generate a profit while minimizing risks.
WHAT WE TRADE
We trade a variety of instruments from stocks and bonds to futures, options, and forex. Which instrument we trade depends on our time horizon and investment objective. There are times when we are seeking to take advantage of an opportunity and other trades that are designed to hedge another position. We may choose to go long one instrument while simultaneously shorting another correlating instrument. For example, if we see an opportunity to profit due to a supply-demand imbalance in the energy sector we might go long oil futures while shorting airline stocks. If the situation is a big opportunity that requires a large position than options can be part of the equation. If we see inflation ahead we might trade a combination of forex and gold futures, with even further hedging through an equity index. Each trade is structured to minimize risk and maximize gain and we do our best to trade the right instrument at the right time.
How we Trade
We trade our capital from a simple perspective: profits can be maximized when we risk as little as possible to make as much as possible in high probability trade scenarios. While this may seem like an over-simplistic philosophy, in the sport of technical analysis trading, simple is sometimes best. We have risk parameters in terms of the size of our trades which we adjust to meet current market conditions. Knowing when to “push the gas pedal” or “pump the brakes” is key to maximizing profits and minimizing losses. While no one system of trading is guaranteed, we have developed a statistically sound method of approaching the market; however, we are subject to losses and volatility just like any other market participant. The most important factor in trading is not the returns one makes but the psychology behind the investing decisions. A good trader is very self-aware and is in touch with their mental decision-making faculties. At Taurino Capital we approach trading from both a technical and psychological approach.
OUR INDICATORS & ALGORITHMS
Algorithms and indicators for trading the capital markets have come a long way in the last 20 years. Advances in computer technology have allowed for deep mathematical and statistical analysis of the markets at an unprecedented level. While the introduction of machine learning and artificial intelligence offer great promise, these technologies are still guided by human hands. At Taurino Capital we use a variety of proprietary and licensed computer generated signals and machine learning algorithms combined with our own past experiences to guide our trading decisions. We currently use a combination of Fibonacci Math and Linear Regression Moving Averages to come up with trade setups, entries, and exit points. We are always investigating new technologies for gaining an edge on the capital markets but it seems as if the best technologies are those that are able to visually represent the human condition in the trading markets, also referred to as market psychology.
