What Is Empirica?

Empirica is a crypto trading infrastructure that allows users to trade with proven algorithms and to precisely execute their investment strategy with cloud-hosted instance of their algorithm trading platform that connects to major crypto exchanges. Empirica office is located in Wroclaw’s Old Town.

Empirica Trading Strategies

The platform uses the following built-in trading strategies:

• Market making: Users can build complex algorithmic strategies to provide the liquidity and hedging positions.
• Arbitrage: It is possible for users to execute arbitrage strategies on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies between several different crypto exchanges.
• Smart order routing: The algorithm is able to find the best price for orders on all crypto exchanges and execute it.
• VWAP: Users can achieve the best price with large order by dividing it into several smaller ones throughout the trading day.
• Hedging Baskets: Traders can execute trades on multiple coins at the same time with a possibility to hedge against other coins.

In addition to using the built-in strategies mentioned, traders have the opportunity to create their customized proprietary algorithm. This is achievable through the platform’s OpenAPI infrastructure, which enables them to design their own trading strategy and test it in a safe environment on real-time or historical data. The platform’s quant team can also help with the implementation if the trader asks for help.
