Philippe Becquet: Business Getter in annecy le vieux, 74

Blackalgo is a product of Exclusive Network LLC, a US company created in 2005, and dedicated to excellence. Exclusive Network is specialized in algorithmic trading softwares development, and in particular, the algorithms for the Forex (Foreign Exchange) market. The philosophy of BlackALGO is based on the depth and volatility of the markets. It works even better during Breaking news and high impact news. Our trading algorithm is driven by insight. We believe that it’s insight that delivers financial acumen, rather than trading for trading’s sake. We eschew such churn, preferring to provide a highly disciplined and empirical investment experience that embraces dynamic trading but still offers a notable sense of calm for both traders and investors.
