Trading the
Energy Transition.
Dark Matter Trading is a proprietary quantitative trading firm headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria. We specialize in algorithmic high-frequency trading on renewable energy markets — specifically solar and wind energy on the Independent Bulgarian Energy Exchange (IBEX).
What We Do
We build and operate fully automated trading systems that provide liquidity to European energy markets. Our algorithms process real-time weather data, grid telemetry, and market microstructure to execute trades at speeds and precision impossible for human operators.
Our Market
The Bulgarian energy market is at the frontier of Europe's renewable transition. Solar and wind generation create systematic volatility that our quantitative models are designed to capture. We are active participants on IBEX, trading day-ahead and intraday products.
Our Edge
Traditional energy traders rely on delayed macro-level forecasts. We operate at a fundamentally different level — combining proprietary atmospheric models, direct grid-state analysis, and machine learning to price energy before the broader market reacts.
Expansion
While IBEX remains our core market, we are actively developing infrastructure to expand across the European Synchronous Grid. Adjacent markets with growing renewable penetration present natural opportunities for our technology and approach.
Operating Principles.
Proprietary Capital Only
We trade exclusively with our own capital. No outside funds, no retail clients, no conflicts of interest.
Research-Driven
Every trading decision originates from quantitative research. We do not employ discretionary traders.
Technology-First
Infrastructure is not a support function — it is the product. Our systems are engineered for reliability, speed, and adaptability.
