HATS OFF

MARCO MOTTANA AND FABRIZIO CRIMI ARE THE CO-FOUNDERS OF CFXF.IO. WITH AN INITIAL STO IN JUNE 2019 AND THE LAUNCH OF THE FIRST SENTIMENT INDICATOR ON BLOCKCHAIN FOR THE INVESTMENT MARKET, CFX SPOKE WITH JULIAN MOORE TO OUTLINE THE COMPANY’S GIANT STRIDES TOWARDS GLOBAL SUCCESS.

HOW IS THE CFX TRADING SYSTEM DIFFERENT TO OTHER SYSTEMS AVAILABLE IN THE SECTOR?

There are various systems out there, but CFX intends to be the first to provide technical analysis and quantitative finance using A.I. This will create a system that combines data from the global community to select the most relevant and qualified sentiment and insights, based around a core principle of “less risk, more profits”.

WHAT KIND OF CUSTOMER / CLIENT ARE YOU CATERING FOR WITH THE CFX TRADING SYSTEM?

The trading systems are already available to our partners and we are also leasing them to new customers. Since we’re a software house, a fintech company, we deal with institutional investors who want to use our technology products to manage their own liquidity or to create products for their customers. For example we have recently agreed a deal with Tier1FX in Malta, a broker who will be using our HATS technology for their private customers.

Private customers can benefit from our software through those institutions with whom we have agreements in place, unless they qualify as professional investors or family offices.

Our B2B customers lease the software on a performance basis, so they only pay for positive results.

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN IN DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT HAVE BEEN THE KEY TRIUMPHS IN CREATING THE SYSTEM?

The CFX team has been in the financial sector for over thirty years, so HATS (Highly Advanced Trading System) was born out of long-term experience and a clear understanding of how existing analysis and quant solutions needed updating with the latest technology available.

The system is based on technical analysis, quantitative analysis, and Artificial Intelligence, allowing for superior returns on money management, in terms of risk/reward ratio. It has taken more than two years to develop.

The key triumph for us was being able to test the system on real markets and create demonstrable results - these can be seen on our website: www.cfxadvanced.com.

As a result, institutions are now searching us out to find out more.

How Does The Launch Of The New Cfx

TOKEN RELATE TO THE TRADING SYSTEM?

The CFX Token will allow improvements in the system by adding software tools, creating a new global platform, investing in the development of the Disruptive Sentiment Index (that will have a global impact and improve the overall system), and creating the marketing to go global.

The CFX Token is a security token that will offer a percentage of dividends from CFX profits. So performance fees received from institutions will fund a reward scheme for token holders making them virtual shareholders in the company, although currently without voting rights.

But more than anything else we want to create a global network producing new investment concepts that can be tokenised, and we want everyone to have one of our products in their wallet.

WHEN IS THE STO, AND WHAT WILL THAT MEAN FOR THE ROLLOUT OF CFX TRADING SYSTEM?

The trading systems are already available to our partners in the market and we are also selling them to new customers. The STO will be an accelerator for this growth. We plan to be in STO by June, but this depends on the MFSA issuing new regulations specific to STO tokens. Currently we are dealing with institutional investors in a private sale capacity.

WHAT IS THE SENTIMENT INDICATOR AND WHY IS IT UNIQUE?

The Sentiment Index is the only such system using real sentiment sourced from individuals - it’s not just a number on a screen. Using a mobile app combined with A.I. technologies we can measure true sentiment and public opinion in real time for markets around the world. The data will then will be published on blockchain in real time to avoid manipulation and to build trust through transparency. The Index will improve the overall result of our systems and can be sold separately.

WHICH TERRITORIES ARE YOU LAUNCHING THE TOKEN IN? AND WILL THE SENTIMENT INDICATOR BE LAUNCHED WORLDWIDE?

CFX Token will be launched in Malta, paving the way for uptake throughout Europe. Following European markets we will be making the product available to institutions in the USA and Asia.

IN WHAT WAYS DOES THE FUND SET UP BY CFX HELP POOR PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD?

The SURF Fund aims to offer peer-to-peer lending across the world so that the poor can raise money to invest and get a continuous stream of profits with the benefit of the HATS system. The capital will not be available to the fund recipients, so the lending companies will be guaranteed by CFX. Even small results can change the life of thousands.

HOW WOULD YOU SAY MALTA IS DOING IN TERMS OF REGULATION FOR THE BLOCKCHAIN AND A.I. INDUSTRIES? WHAT’S YOUR OPINION OF THE BILLS LAUNCHED AT THE MALTA A.I. & BLOCKCHAIN SUMMIT IN 2018?

Malta has anticipated a global trend that is gaining momentum across the world, so we think the Blockchain Island will quickly establish itself as the best location to set up a crypto asset company. They are working with professionals like Steve Tendon, one of our technology board members, and we have nothing but praise for the government and the pioneers of this new direction for Malta.
