Walk away early
The trade you decline costs you nothing but a margin you never had. The one you should have declined can cost the company.
A Cyprus company that trades and invests with its own money — and is precise about what it is not permitted to do with anyone else’s.
Trading businesses do not usually fail on a bad trade. They fail on a good trade that was too large.
The interesting part of this business is easy to describe and hard to practise: refuse the transaction that requires everything to go right. Most people can see the risk. Fewer can walk away while the price still looks attractive and the counterparty is still being charming about it.
ZELQUAR is built around that refusal. Positions are sized so that holding one twice as long as planned is an inconvenience. Counterparties are verified before terms are discussed. Documents settle trades, not relationships.
It makes for an unexciting company, which is the intention. There is no fund to raise and no outside capital to answer for, so nothing forces a trade that should not happen.
Values are cheap to write down. These are the ones that cost us something when we follow them.
The trade you decline costs you nothing but a margin you never had. The one you should have declined can cost the company.
Good relationships are worth having and worth nothing in a dispute. Everything material goes in writing before anything moves.
No published returns, no track record, no case studies you could not check. In trading, unverifiable numbers are the standard warning sign.
Constantinos Zourides is the director of ZELQUAR LTD and decides what the company buys and what it declines.
One identifiable person carries that decision, which is also why the boundary described on this site is stated rather than implied.
If the trade only works when nothing goes wrong, it is not a trade — it is a hope with an invoice attached.

Send the provenance and the counterparty before the price. If those do not hold up, we will say so and save us both the negotiation.
