Physical trading
We buy and sell goods for our own account, settling against documents rather than promises. Every trade has a counterparty check, a documentary chain and a plan for what happens if the cargo is late.
Two books run to one rule. Below is what each covers, and the regulatory line neither of them crosses.
Goods on one side, holdings on the other. Both are our own capital, and both are sized so a bad outcome is survivable rather than merely unlikely.

Who you trade with matters more than what you trade. Registry checks, ownership, payment history and the awkward question of who actually controls the goods at each hand-over.
Positions in operating companies and instruments, taken with our own capital and held without a calendar-driven exit. There is no fund, no subscription and nothing to sell you.
The dull discipline that decides whether a trading business exists in five years: size positions so no single one can end the company, and refuse the trade that requires everything to go right.
Four limits, stated where they can be read rather than buried in a footer.
No personal recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything. That is licensed activity; we are not licensed.
No managed accounts, no custody, no pooled money. Nothing to open here.
We publish none, because you could not verify them.
If ownership and title cannot be evidenced on paper, the trade does not happen regardless of margin.
Slow to commit, quick to decline, and unglamorous throughout.
What the goods or the position are, and where they came from. Vague answers end the conversation early, which suits everyone.
Counterparty and documentation. This is where most enquiries stop.
Written, specific, and agreed before anything moves.
Execution and reconciliation, with no surprises left for the end.
Four stages, and the second one kills most of them. That is the stage doing its job.
A trade starts with provenance, not price. Who owns the goods now, who owned them before, and can that be shown on paper rather than asserted on a call.
Registry extract, ownership structure, and how they have settled previously. An attractive price from an unverifiable counterparty is not an attractive trade.
Incoterms, inspection, and payment mechanics agreed in writing before anything moves. Most trade disputes are really documentation disputes that surfaced late.
Logistics, settlement, reconciliation. A trade that generates a story usually generated a loss somewhere in it.
Illustrative internal criteria — not an offer or a recommendation
No. The company trades and invests on its own account. There is no fund, no managed account and no subscription. Nothing here is an offer of securities or an invitation to invest.
No. ZELQUAR LTD is not authorised by CySEC or any other financial regulator. It provides no investment advice, no portfolio management and no brokerage, and holds no client funds.
Goods in categories where we can read the specification, verify quality and price the logistics ourselves. We deliberately stay out of categories where the margin depends on someone else’s information advantage.
No. Self-reported results from a private company are unverifiable by you. We would rather publish nothing than a number you cannot check.
Sometimes. Send the provenance and the counterparty first — not the price. If those do not hold up, the price is irrelevant.
Registered in Cyprus, active across the EU and beyond, in English and German.
No regulated financial services. ZELQUAR LTD is not authorised or supervised by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) or any other financial regulator. It provides no investment advice, portfolio management, brokerage, custody or any other regulated investment service, and holds no client funds or client financial instruments.
Own account only. All trading and investment activity is conducted for the company’s own account and at its own risk. There is no fund, no managed account and no pooled vehicle. Nothing on this website is an offer of securities, an invitation to invest or a financial promotion.
No performance representations. This website contains no past or projected performance figures. Any such figures presented elsewhere in this sector should be treated as unverifiable unless independently audited.
Risk. Trading and investing involve risk, including the total loss of capital. Anyone considering such activity should take independent, licensed advice appropriate to their own circumstances.
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.
