-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FX_TRVF (“The program”) trades the currency market. Our discretionary methodology relies heavily on system-based analysis of major currency pairs to forge a trading decision. The objective is to generate a consistent return on the assets under management (AUM) while effectively managing the risk inherent in the marketplace. Our approach results in an entity that is uncorrelated with most popular asset classes, thereby enhancing its appeal as a viable instrument to successfully diversify a traditional portfolio. Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) states that a diversified portfolio of uncorrelated asset classes yields the highest return with the least amount of volatility. The program interprets market price action to identify entry and exit points. Our dynamic strategies focus on maximizing the profit potential of every trade resulting in the favorable return profile that is the defining aspect of the program. We believe that preservation of equity is essential to its appreciation and have tailored our money and risk management systems to reflect this. The money management system determines the amount of equity committed to each trade. Risk is managed through the execution of stop-loss orders that are determined by a set of predefined market-reactive variables and affixed to each trade at its inception.
