FAQ

Our approach to trading

We use two trading strategies; market making and position taking.

Our dual approach: We combine short-term agility (market making) with calculated directional strategies (position taking) for balanced risk and opportunity.

Market making

Is about providing liquidity in the markets, as a neutral counterparty, to meet continuous market demands. As market makers, we quote a buy and a sell price, creating a two-way market without trying to predict where the price is going.

Position taking

We trade with a directional view on the market based on deep market insights. This strategy allows us to take calculated positions when we have a strong conviction about market direction.

Our state-of-the-art in-house trading system

In 2020, our development team built our own trading system from the ground up. The system focuses on ultra-low latency, high performance, flexibility, and extensibility. It is fully tailored to our needs.

A Trading House for Game Changers

We are building the best proprietary trading house in the world by solving technical and mathematical challenges with creative solutions. We call this the art of trading.

At Da Vinci, we provide liquidity in digital assets and traditional financial instruments. When opportunities arise we also take positions, trading volatility.
