d-Orbital has a unique way of designing and developing market systems. We understand that no market sector operates in a vacuum since each is influenced by the movements of other sectors or by the same factors as other sectors— whether fundamental or technical in nature. The combination of specific factors and market sectors are used to create models—which d-Orbital calls compounds.

Our company derives its name from the transition metals in the periodic table of chemical elements. These include, amongst others, gold, platinum, silver, copper, nickel and iron. Most elements can only use electrons from their outer orbital to bond with other elements. Transition metals however, can use the outer and also the next nearest orbital, a chemical trait that allows them to bond with many elements in a variety of ways. It is the inner d-Orbital, not yet filled, that allows for this unique peculiarity. The d orbitals split into two energy sublevels, thus giving rise to characteristically colored compounds.

In creating our market compounds, we not only use information from the specific market that is being traded, but also share information from and between other market sectors. It's a feature that allows us to blend markets in a variety of combinations to create an assortment of composites which are much more colorful than traditional market models.

Once our compounds are created, we can then blend them in a wide array of combinations to create solutions. Our solutions, as in chemistry, are homogeneous mixtures composed of two or more substances.

d-Orbital makes a distinction between compounds and solutions. A compound is derived from components that are rigorously combined that result in a constant composition. Like the formation of water. The compound water is formed by combining exactly two parts hydrogen with one part oxygen. The result is H₂O.  Any other combination would result in a different compound and not water. By adding sugar to that water we get a solution. There is no right amount of sugar. There is no perfect ratio. You just mix and suit to taste. Compounds are akin to market-models while solutions are analogous to money management.

Electrons traveling around the nucleus of an atom—owing to an age-old misconception—are not equivalent to planets traveling around a sun. Instead, they can be represented as a cloud of probability around a nucleus. This electron cloud is a statistical model which describes within a reasonable probability that the electron is likely to be somewhere in close proximity to the nucleus. Just as stock prices are likely to be near the prior day's close. Also, like the high kurtosis of the market, the electron still has a probability of being anywhere in the universe. d-Orbital uses this cloud approach to statistically determine the likelihood of the next day's market move while being mindful of the fat-tails of a high kurtosis system.
