This program utilises 4 different trading approaches: breakout opportunities, range trading, momentum trading and dynamic carry. The majority of the trades generated by this program have short-term time horizons, while using longer term systems to stabilize the short term volatility.

This program aims to extract value from short term higher frequency strategies focusing on range and breakout conditions, while balancing the portfolio out with longer-term focused strategies.

The short term, higher frequency strategies by nature can be very volatile and may lose more frequently on a trade-by-trade basis; however, back-tested results suggest that these strategies can compensate for such losses when profitable trades are found. The strategies separately look to take advantage of ranging and breakout markets so as not to depend fully on one market condition or the other. While these two short term components will tend to smooth each other out to some extent, both can still be very volatile strategies when analysed independently from the longer term strategies.

The longer term components aim to provide a stable foundation and long term profitability as a backdrop for the shorter term strategies. These longer term components can nevertheless have extended periods of volatility and drawdowns notwithstanding the fact that the strategies are more focused on the long term views and less sensitive to short term market noise. The longer term strategies themselves balance between general trending strategies and carry-focused strategies. This brings a stabilising effect into the longer term component of the portfolio as there is a value component through trending strategies and a yield component through the carry focused strategies.

Hypothetical performance results may have many inherent limitations, some of which are described in the risk warning. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk. Variables such as the ability to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses as well as maintaining adequate liquidity are material points which can adversely affect actual real trading results.
