Company Update
Ephod Securities plans to launch "Ephod Intelligence³," an international AI trading competition and investment exchange program focused on data-driven strategies and risk management.
DENVER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2026 / Ephod Securities Co., Ltd. plans to introduce an international AI-powered investment exchange program and fully automated trading competition under the theme "Ephod Intelligence³ - Elevating AI Trading to the Next Power." In collaboration with Ephod Technology Limited and international quantitative finance and financial data organizations, the initiative aims to advance technical exchange at the intersection of artificial intelligence and securities investing.
As AI, algorithmic trading and big data reshape global capital markets, the program will focus on three core principles: data-driven research, intelligent decision-making and risk management. Drawing on the characteristics of Asia-Pacific capital markets, it will explore how AI and quantitative tools can help investors develop more systematic approaches to investment analysis and decision-making.
AI and Quantitative Trading Enter a New Phase
Program trading has expanded beyond institutional investment management into individual investing, bringing greater attention to the quality of the strategies and controls behind automated execution.
Interim statistics from Taiwan's third program-trading simulation competition in 2025 showed that the leading participant achieved a return of 43.45%, while 77% of participants who executed trades recorded negative returns. These results underscore the continuing importance of strategy quality, parameter design and disciplined risk controls, even when trading processes are automated.
Taiwan's active ETF market also reached NT$988.6 billion by the end of September 2026. Significant differences in product performance further highlight the importance of investment research methodologies and stock-selection frameworks.
A Three-Layer Framework for Research, Analysis and Execution
Ephod Intelligence³ is structured around three complementary layers:
- Intelligence - Investment Research: Multifactor stock selection and structured investment research frameworks.
- Analytics - Quantitative Analysis: Historical data analysis, statistical modeling and strategy backtesting.
- Execution - Trade Execution and Risk Management: Conditional trading, capital allocation and defined risk limits.
Together, these layers establish the program's core framework for examining the relationship between investment research, quantitative analysis and disciplined execution.
Cross-Border Collaboration and International Exchange
The program's collaboration framework comprises:
- Organizer: Ephod Securities Co., Ltd.
- Technology Partner: Ephod Technology Limited.
- International Co-organizers: QuantConnect (United States), BMLL (United Kingdom), OneMarketData (United States) and Avelacom (International).
Through international technical exchange and the sharing of Asia-Pacific market experience, the initiative seeks to deepen investors' understanding of emerging trading technologies while reinforcing awareness of compliance, information transparency and investment risk.
Connecting Technology Demonstrations with Practical Applications
Planned activities include presentations on AI investment research, quantitative strategy demonstrations, historical backtesting case studies, capital management discussions and investor education courses.
The proposed format combines an international financial technology forum, AI investment research exchanges and a performance-based competition. By bringing these activities together, Ephod Intelligence³ aims to connect technical discussion with practical applications in investment research, strategy evaluation and risk management.
Risk Statement
Quantitative analysis, artificial intelligence and automated trading tools do not guarantee profits. All investments involve market risk.
