What We Do
Dornell Capital is a quantitative trading firm focused on building and running systematic strategies that combine transparent, rule-based models with AI-driven techniques, and we also provide consultancy services to quantitative firms. We integrate leading work in AI, machine learning, and quantitative finance into a disciplined, data-driven trading framework underpinned by clear risk management and strong execution standards.
Dornell Capital is a quantitative trading firm specialising in systematic, rules-based and AI-driven strategies. We treat markets as a research problem, combining modern machine learning with transparent trading rules that can be tested, explained, and repeated. Every idea is evaluated through data—from initial concept and prototyping to rigorous backtesting and validation across multiple market environments.
​
Our approach is to connect the best available knowledge in AI, machine learning, and quantitative finance into one coherent trading framework. We draw on academic research, industry practice, and modern open-source tools, then adapt them to our own models, infrastructure, and risk processes. The focus is robustness over hype: only strategies that prove themselves in both testing and live trading remain in our portfolio.
​
While we operate as a small firm, we hold ourselves to high standards in process and risk. That means clear rules for position sizing, strict limits, and continuous monitoring of strategy behaviour. Over time, our goal is to build a diversified set of quantitative strategies designed to navigate changing markets with consistency, control, and a long-term mindset.
