Trading Strategy: Systematic / Forex & Indices

Trading Description:
The Delta Hybrid program looks to capitalize on inefficient market movements through similar assets. The automated program trades Forex and futures contracts simultaneously to capitalize on the inefficiencies targeted. The objective is to profit as the market corrects and re-attains efficiency. The program may be long or short either futures or Forex positions but each position will always have a counter position in a correlating asset. Due to the efficient nature of the markets Delta Hybrid will often not have a market position as the algorithms wait to identify proper inefficiencies. Entry sizes and margin used will vary depending on the measure of divergence of efficiency in the market at the time of entry. The dynamic entry sizes allow for larger positions to be placed when the traded assets are calculated to be more inefficient and thus the larger divergences come with greater profit potential.

As futures and Forex accounts are handled differently with the FCMs, participants in the Delta Hybrid may be required to open both a futures and a Forex account. The funds within these accounts will be managed by Delta Capital and transferred as needed from futures account to Forex account, and vice versa, if needed to maintain sufficient margin requirements for the program to operate. Management and performance fees will be charged on the collective net sum of both accounts on a monthly basis. The Delta Hybrid Forex accounts may trade the spot currencies from the G12 countries (Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Euro dollar, Japanese yen, Swiss franc, Great Britain pound, and United States dollar), while Delta Hybrid futures accounts may trade broad based indices, metals, agriculture and currency interest rate futures contracts.
