Overview
The Hawkeye Spread Program of Four Seasons Commodities Corporation (Hawkeye) employs a discretionary, fundamental-analysis based trading program which trades exclusively in agricultural commodities. The program trades corn, wheat, soybeans, soybean products, livestock and options on each of those commodities futures contracts as listed on domestic futures exchanges. The Hawkeye Spread Program trades primarily in futures spreads or in futures and options spreads. The program seeks to capture profits based on the Advisor's assessment of the relative value of two related agricultural futures or options contracts. The trading method is proprietary, and uses supply and demand analysis and seasonal trend analysis, among other strategies. The Advisor looks at fundamental factors that affect the supply and demand of a particular commodity in order to predict future prices. In addition, the Advisor reviews historical and seasonal patterns which may indicate the direction the market may move in the future.
