To achieve the Program's objective, the Advisor uses a combination of net credit put and/or call spreads for options on monthly crude oil futures contracts to generate profits when the spot price of the underlying asset remains in a specific range determined at the time of contract entry. Probabilities, technical analysis, and trend lines will be most commonly used to determine portfolio positions. The Advisor intends to closely monitor current events that it believes may influence fundamentals such as supply and demand during its investment selection process. The Advisor expects to restrict its investment to only option contracts that it believes have an approximate 85-90% chance of expiring during the contract period, although there is no guarantee that the contracts that the Advisor purchases for clients will meet such threshold. For each contract period, the Advisor will set a target profit threshold for each contract entry. The Advisor intends each client to hold its option positions through the expiration date of the contract and only exit early if the options positions generate profits that meet such a pre-defined threshold or as part of a risk-management strategy. Each month, upon the expiration date, all open contracts are expected to expire with anticipation of full profit to be received. Afterward, the contract process begins for the next month with an expectation of 100% portfolio turnover each month. The Advisor will employ portfolio margin in its investing.
