Billing Policy
(August 27, 2010)

 

 

We do not expect that all the markets or all the systems will trade all the time.  Each has a low volatility shut off.  This is reflected in portfolio configuration, historical performance, and subscription pricing.  These periods of no or low trading activity are also reflected in the calculations showing what percentage subscription fees are of net trading gain.  Note that subscription costs have been overall less than would be CTA performance fees.  So don’t feel you have to substitute something when components go thru shut off periods.  We provide our portfolios at ‘cut rate’ pricing (count the components) largely to accommodate periods when multiple markets and systems will go thru shut off periods, and because some people will not wish to trade all the markets represented in the portfolios.  As you consider what your subscription is costing in relationship to trading performance, use at least 12 months as your time horizon, not just a month or few.

 

 

 

                    Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

 

 

 

 

 

All performance data in this website is hypothetical performance.  Although you

have already seen the CFTC hypothetical performance disclosure at the entrance

to this website, the CFTC prefers that it be shown multiple times at strategic

places in the website, such as on this page.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME

OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY

ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE

SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS ACHIEVED BY

ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY

ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION,

HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL

TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK

IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR ADHERE

TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL

POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE

ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE

FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE

RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.”
