Trading Strategy: Discretionary / Fundamental

Program Description: Old School Program, a speculative futures trading program currently offered by HPX Financial, LLC. This program is generally more aggressive than the HPX Ag Program. All performance has been reduced to reflect the effect of a 2% per annum management fee and a 20% incentive fee, assessed on net trading profits above a high-water mark. Head Trader is Harvey Paffenroth, started out on the CME in 1971 running tickets, placing orders and bought his membership shortly thereafter. Harvey started off trading pork bellies, and even worked on the physical side of the market taking delivery of pork bellies, storing and selling them later. He continued to both trade on the CME in the pits and continued his hedging business until the end of the pork bellies contract, by which time he HPX has already transitioned into lean hogs and cattle products, which are now live cattle and feeder cattle.
