Trading Description
The Martello Equity Index Program is a combination of technical trading systems and discretionary overlay that attempts to capture profit opportunities in some of the equity index futures traded on U.S. exchanges. The Advisor utilizes various trading strategies that currently incorporate the trading of four U.S. equity index futures contracts. The indexes currently include, but are not limited to the E-mini S&P 500 (ES), E-mini NASDAQ 100 futures (NQ), E-mini Dow (YM) and the Russell 2000-mini (TF). The Advisor may trade different equity indices in the future. The Advisor will not trade options on futures contracts.

The objective of the Program is to produce consistent superior risk-adjusted returns. No assurance can be given that this objective will be met. The Advisor may increase/reduce leverage as it deems necessary to accomplish this objective.
