Gemeos Trading Announces Expansion of AI-Powered Forex Algorithm Licensing Platform for Retail Investors

Published

on

By

ONTARIO, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gemeos Trading, a Canadian technology company that develops and licenses algorithmic trading software, today announced the continued expansion of its AI-powered copy-trading platform, which provides retail investors with access to institutional-grade forex trading algorithms verified through third-party sources including MyFXBook.

Gemeos Trading was founded by Mathew Kevin Edgar and Leslie Edgar. The company operates as a software-as-a-service technology firm that develops proprietary trading algorithms and licenses them through a copy-trading model in which clients maintain full custody of their own brokerage accounts at all times. Unlike the majority of retail forex algorithm providers, Gemeos Trading exclusively uses price-action and volume-based strategies rather than martingale or grid-based averaging systems.

“Gemeos Trading exists because the retail forex algorithm market has a fundamental problem,” said Mathew Kevin Edgar, Founder of Gemeos Trading. “About 90 percent of algorithms sold to retail traders use martingale and grid-based strategies. Those systems can work short-term, but they carry the risk of total account loss when a market moves in one direction without pulling back. We saw two competitors blow client accounts last year for exactly that reason. Gemeos Trading has never blown an account in its entire history.”

The company’s flagship product, the Quantum algorithm, is an AI-based trading system with a third-party verified track record of more than two years of live trading. According to company-reported figures, the Quantum algorithm returned 164 percent in 2025 before compounding, with 11 profitable months and one losing month of approximately 8.6 percent. The company offers 2 risk levels – with hard-stop equity thresholds at under 20 percent, 20 percent and 40 percent – allowing clients to select a risk tolerance that matches their investment objectives.

Gemeos Trading operates through a copy-trading model that replaced an earlier profit-sharing (PAM) arrangement operated through Supreme Commerce Training Inc, a consulting and education company Kevin has operated since 2019. The copy-trading structure reduces onboarding to two steps: fund a brokerage account and connect it to the Gemeos Trading copy trader.

“We moved to copy trading because it’s dramatically simpler,” said Leslie, Co-Founder of Gemeos Trading. “Clients keep custody of their own money at all times. They connect their own broker account to our system, and they can disconnect at any time. That transparency and control matters.”

Gemeos Trading maintains a live trading desk staffed by three full-time traders, including a partner with more than 20 years of institutional trading experience, who monitor algorithm operations 24 hours a day during forex market hours and intervene manually during periods of elevated drawdown.

“No matter how good an algorithm is, you need someone there to catch it if something goes wrong,” Kevin said. “A software glitch, a black swan event – there needs to be a human failsafe. That’s what our trade desk provides at Gemeos Trading.”

Robinson Nuclear Plant receives approval from U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to continue operating until 2050

License extension supports growing energy demand, helps keep customer costs as low as possibleExtended operation provides significant economic benefits for Pee Dee region

Editor’s note: Visit the Duke Energy News Center for downloadable B-roll and high-resolution images of Robinson Nuclear Plant.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has renewed the operating license for Duke Energy’s Robinson Nuclear Plant for an additional 20 years, extending the plant’s ability to deliver reliable energy until 2050.

Robinson, located in Hartsville, S.C., provides enough energy to power 570,000 homes and plays an important role in protecting reliability and affordability for customers as regional electricity demand continues to grow.

What they’re saying

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster: “South Carolina’s energy needs continue to rise, and extending Robinson Nuclear Plant’s operating license preserves a reliable, affordable source of nuclear energy our state depends on. This plant ensures we have the power needed to support jobs and strengthen communities across the Pee Dee region.”Congressman Russell Fry (SC-07): “For 50 years, Robinson Nuclear Plant has been the backbone of South Carolina’s nuclear fleet. The extension of its license is monumental for the Pee Dee and allows Duke Energy to continue providing affordable, reliable electricity to homes and businesses in the region. This renewal is a win for families in the Pee Dee, Robinson Nuclear Plant’s employees and Darlington County as a whole.”Steven Capps, chief nuclear officer for Duke Energy: “Extending the operating life of this proven asset helps us deliver low-cost, always-on electricity for customers while supporting jobs and energy security for the region. Robinson’s subsequent license renewal reflects the strength of our safety culture and the rigorous work our teams do every day to support our communities.”

Why it matters

Duke Energy’s nuclear fleet provides about 51% of customers’ energy needs in the Carolinas, making nuclear energy an essential component of the company’s diverse generation portfolio.License renewal extends the use of cost-effective generation, resulting in significant savings for customers over time.Extended operation sustains significant economic benefits for Darlington County and the broader Pee Dee region.

Robinson by the numbers

Delivers 759 megawatts (MW) of electricity, powering nearly 570,000 homes.Nearly 500 high-paying jobs supported.$1.7 billion in equipment upgrades completed.Approximately $28 million in annual local tax contributions.

Go deeper

U.S. nuclear facilities are licensed by the NRC. The process to renew a license requires a comprehensive analysis and evaluation to ensure the plant can safely be operated for the period of extended operation.Robinson’s original 40-year operating license was granted by the NRC in 1970, making it one of the first commercial nuclear power plants in the Southeast. Robinson’s initial license was renewed for an additional 20 years of operation until 2030, and the subsequent license renewal allows for continued operations until 2050.Robinson is the second Duke Energy nuclear facility to receive approval for subsequent license renewal, following Oconee Nuclear Station in 2025. Duke Energy plans to seek subsequent license renewal for all 11 operating units across its nuclear fleet.For more background and updates on the subsequent license renewal process, visit Duke Energy’s subsequent license renewal webpage.
