The desk

A team of specialist agents, coordinated like a trading floor.

Each agent owns one edge. A risk-aware orchestrator decides what actually gets executed.

SUPPLY

Smelter Scout

Tracks capacity in Yunnan, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Shandong — hydropower levels, curtailments, and the 45 Mt production cap.

ARBITRAGE

Spread Hunter

Hunts SHFE–LME import windows, calendar spreads and alumina/aluminum crack margins, sizing positions to live FX.

POLICY

Policy Reader

Parses NDRC, MIIT and customs releases in Mandarin the moment they publish — export tax rebates, energy quotas, stockpile moves.

PHYSICAL

Spot Sentinel

Watches Wuxi, Foshan and Gongyi social inventories and ingot premiums to anticipate futures moves before they print.

DEMAND

Demand Pulse

Models consumption from EVs, solar frames, construction and packaging using PMI data, order books and satellite imagery.

RISK

Guardian

Hard limits on exposure, drawdown and margin. Every trade carries a written rationale you can audit afterwards.

How it works

From raw signal to filled order, autonomously.

Ingest

Exchange feeds, warehouse stocks, power grid data, shipping AIS, Chinese-language news and filings.

Reason

Agents form theses, debate each other, and attach confidence and evidence to each idea.

Execute

Orders are routed through your connected broker under the mandate and limits you set.

Explain

Plain-language trade journals, P&L attribution and full replay of every decision.

Coverage

The full aluminum value chain.
