What is AXE?
AXE is a deep-reinforcement-learning-based trading insights platform developed by Qraft Technologies and is one of the world’s first commercialized Deep Reinforcement Learning-driven AI Trading systems. The goal of AXE is to minimize the market impact of large orders and reduce transaction costs by discovering the most efficient trading strategies and adapting to fast-changing market conditions. Qraft provides signals through its AXE platform for clients to utilize in their trading execution process.
Why AXE?
AXE identifies the optimal strategy by analyzing (“learning”) market micro-structure from historical tick data including price and transaction volume, limit order book data, etc. The system then delivers trading signals, insights, and direction to further reduce transaction costs and market impact.
With such a system, investors can maximize returns by minimizing transaction costs of mass trading financial products. The higher the volume of trading, and the lower the natural liquidity (e.g. smaller cap stocks) the greater the potential impact and cost savings from AXE’s system.
