Introducing LoTeVa

Welcome to LoTeVa.com.

This website is the public face of an AI based, proprietary trading system.

LoTeVa has been designed and built by James Komninos to provide Long Term Value to the investment portfolios it manages.

LoTeVa obtains live prices on over 6000 trade-able instruments. An instrument in this sense includes shares listed on the major world share markets, commodities listed on commodity exchanges, FX pairs and cryptocurrencies. The instruments followed by LoTeVa are selected to have at a minimum average weekly liquidity so as to facilitate the accuracy of the price movement analysis that is part of the decision making process within LoTeVa.

Beside real time pricing, LoTeVa also monitors major social media platforms for all instruments that have been flagged by the pricing algorithm as being of immediate interest and attempts to assess where the current social discourse is on a scale from very negative to very positive.

LoTeVa is able to place both buy and sell orders autonomously on a selected number of supported trading platforms. It never leaves open conditional orders online as there is no possible advantage to doing so given that it has access to live pricing and can place trades with sub second delay at the precise instant to achieve trades at the target price.

In a physical sense LoTeVa resides on three separate physical servers on three continents. Each of these three physical servers are identical. The entire LoTeVa system can run fully on any one of these. Each of these three physical servers host a number of specialised virtual machine servers. Each virtual server is responsible for one single functionality within the LoTeVa system. Functionalities include managing security, redundancy, routing, databases, information capture, trading provider communication per provider and other back end services.

Each of these three physical severs stay in constant communication with each other via VPN and maintain synchronised databases. At all times only one of these servers is tagged as primary. The entire LoTeVa system is able to run completely on any one of these three physical servers. The primary server is the one that is logged in to the trading providers and is obtaining live prices, live social media feeds and placing live trades. If the primary server cannot be reached by the other two servers the next server in the priority queue becomes primary and its virtual servers log into the trading accounts, start obtaining real time pricing and take over the trading. All the underlying data that trading decisions are based on are available locally in its virtual database server which was completely up to date up to the instant that communication with the previous primary was lost. Since the process of login in to the trading providers automatically logs out any other open sessions for the same userID only one server at a time can actually function as primary so there is no chance of doubling up on any trades. There is no contention problem possible.
