Waypoint Capital Mgt - Diversified Futures 2XL
The primary objective of the trading program is to identify and exploit medium and long-term price trends in futures and currency markets. The program is designed to analyze mathematically recent trading characteristics of each market and compare such characteristics to the historical trading pattern of the particular market. The program utilizes proprietary trend identification and risk management strategies that are intended to enable it to benefit from sustained price trends with the goal of protecting the account from high levels of risk and volatility. Over the course of a long-term trend, times exist when the potential reward of a market appears to be outweighed by the risk. In such circumstances some of Waypoint’s trading programs may exit the position prior to the end of the trend. While the result may be that program is out of the market during a significant portion of a trend, Waypoint expects that the accompanying decrease in volatility of performance is adequate reward.

Harbor Financial, LLC - MAP
The Company seeks to achieve capital appreciation by engaging in a program of premium collection, by selling or writing options (puts and calls) on the S&P 500 futures contract traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. An options spread consists of the simultaneous sale and purchase of options of different exercise prices and/or expiration months. This technique profits as the sold options’ value declines over time. Profit is captured when sold options are repurchased at a reduced value, or when they expire worthless, allowing the pool to retain the original sales proceeds. The highest profitability occurs when the underlying stock index value remains higher than the sold put exercise price and lower than the sold call exercise price, during the life of the option. Central to the success of this strategy is the Manager’s ability to predict the range of market movement over time frames ranging from thirty (30) to ninety (90) days. The strategy does not depend on a prediction of market direction, and is designed to produce returns which are not correlated with market direction.

Cagco Trading, Inc. - Floor Trader Capital Mgt
The Floor Trader Capital Management Trading Program is based on floor trading principals that have proven to be successful. It is part discretionary and part automated. The trading program uses a proprietary software program that utilizes floor-trading principals to limit losses to one tick or scratch. All losing trades are liquidated immediately by the automated trading program within one or two ticks, resulting in a minimal loss. However, under certain market conditions there may be an inability to limit losses. Due to this trading strategy, a large volume of trades is required. Winning trades are left to run from 1 to 32 ticks. Winning trades are left open until the Advisor liquidates at his own discretion. The Advisor may add positions or contracts as the market goes in a favorable direction, or liquidate the initial position as a profit. The Advisor seeks favorable short-term, intraday price movements. A major advantage of the Floor Trader Capital Management Trading Program is that it is an intraday system, and in most cases there will be no overnight positions. Therefore, it is not subject to the unexpected overnight price movements that occur in longer term futures positions. The strategy trades intraday whenever a statistical edge can be gained. In some cases, there will be a high volume of daily trades. This approach can be used in up-trending markets, down-trending markets and also neutral markets.

In investment terms, a market is not necessarily good or bad; it depends at what time and at what price.

Previous positions, convictions, philosophies, presentations, debates, where necessary, must be thrust aside by "what is right now".
