1. Rates of Return: Rate of Returns are calculated from the start date of each program. Usually returns are calculated based on the Annual Compounded Rate of Return method. In some cases returns have been calculated on a Non-Compounded basis. This would occur when a Manager trades based on account unit rather than on account equity.

The Annual Compound Rate of Return ("Annual CROR") represents the compounded rate of return or each year or portion thereof presented. It is computed by applying successively respective monthly rate of return for each month beginning with the first month of that period. The Annual Rate of Return ("Annual ROR") is the annualized Mean Return.

2. The Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown ("Worst Drawdown") is defined as the greatest cumulative percentage decline in net asset value due to losses sustained by the trading program during any period in which the initial net asset value is not equaled or exceeded by a subsequent asset value.

3. Start & End Dates: Indicates the Start and End Dates of the Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown.

4. The Current Losing Streak ("Losing Streak") represents the extent of the Advisor's current drawdown.

5. Annualzied Standard Deviation is one way to look at consistency of returns. It measures the degree by which the monthly returns vary from the average (mean) return.

6. Downside Deviation is a measure of downside volatility. It only considers those monthly performance results that are less than the monthly Minimum Acceptable Rate of Return.

7. The Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted ratio that rewards consistency of returns. Traders are penalized for volatility regardless of whether it is on the up or downside. The Sharpe Ratios is calculated using a 1% risk-free rate of return.

8. The Sortino Ratio is a risk-adjusted ratio. The higher the number the better. Results are dependent upon the Minimum Acceptable Rate of Return (currently set at 5%.

9. The Sterling Ratio is a risk-adjusted return measurement calculated by dividing the Annualized Compound ROR by the Average Yearly Maximum Drawdown less an arbitrary 10%. The Sterling Ratio is normally calculated using the last 36 months of data.

10. The Calmar Ratio represents the historical amount gained for each dollar risked. A higher number is better. Unless otherwise denoted the Calmar Ratio is calculated by dividing the 36 month Compounded ROR by the 36 month Peak to Valley Drawdown. Traders with less than 36 months of data or a negative Calmar Ratio will be indicated by N/A.

11. The Omega Function accounts for the non-normal distributions of returns and takes into account the investor's preferences for loss and gain. Omega is computed directly from the returns distribution and measures the total impact of the moments instead of each one of them individually.

12. Minimum Investment represents the minimum account size.

13. Assets Under Management ("AUM") represents the current nominal assets traded by the Manager.

14. The Number of Winning Months represents the months with positive return.

15. The Number of Losing Months represents the months with negative return.

16. The Percentage of Winning Months represents the % of winning months.

17. Margin to Equity ("Margin") represents the average margin as a percent of a fully funded account.

18. Round Turns per Million ("Round Turns") represent the average number of round turns that would be generated in a $1,000,000 account.

19. Average Commission ("Avg Comm") represents the average commission rate of the composite track record. A higher or lower commission rate would increase or decrease the performance accordingly.

20. Maximum Commisions ("Max Comm") is the Maximum Round Turn Rate allowable by the Manager.

Trading Description, Risk Strategy & Background

Growing up in China, Yuwen says learning about trading was rather customary, "Although asset management was not widely popular in China in my early adolescence", Yuwen says, "People, including my family, tended to buy and sell stocks for themselves. Trading (futures) is not too different for me."

Yuwen studied at the Beijing University of Chemical Technology and graduated with a Master's Degree in Control Science and Engineering in 2010.

Yuwen is typically a trend follower, who utilizes fundamentals to find potential trend reversals, with incorporating market structure, pattern recognition and trend indicators for the timing of trades, she says.

"Having a positive expectancy of trading strategy is necessary, but money management is the most important thing in trading," Yuwen says. "The biggest lesson I've learned is that I have to follow a process that will be profitable at an acceptable risk to achieve goals."

Accounting Notes:

Performance shown on this report is based on end-of-month cumulative account balance. In order to realize the same percentage gains/losses and drawdowns as the lead account going forward, you must fund your account with an amount equivalent to the lead account's balance at the time of entry into the program (Matching Funds). We recommend that you open your account with Matching Funds. An up-to-the-minute Matching Funds total is available on the WCA Net profit Calculator. Net profit calculated reflects advisor's initial investment of $10,074 (notional), WCA subscription rate of $250.00 per-month per-unit and standardized commission rate of $39.98 per round-turn (includes estimated Exchange, Clearing and Transaction fees of $4.98 per round turn). The actual amount of fees may vary with each specific futures contract traded. Accounts are available through any authorized AutoTradeTM trading service broker.

Trade quantities and frequency in the Yuwen Cao CC US Futures account do not fluctuate with changes in account equity, and Matching Funds may not be needed to meet and maintain margin requirements. If you fund with less than Matching Funds, your investment is considered "notional" and your account's performance, good or bad, will be accentuated on a percentage basis. Conversely, if you fund with more than Matching Funds, you will be de-leveraging your investment, and your gains/loss and drawdowns will be less than those experienced in the lead account on a percentage basis. The Letter of Direction you are required to sign before participating in any WCA program contains a chart that illustrates how notional funding can dramatically affect your investment. Please refer to this chart before notionally funding an account.
