Trading Description, Risk Strategy & Background

Trading Description

Advanced Alpha Advisors NFA ID: 0505193
The strategy is comprised of two components; ART, a short-term (average 2 day), algorithmic, trend following futures trading model, plus, a short volatility option strategy which sells options in order to earn the premium. The trend following model benefits from the documented existence of under and over reactions in futures prices leading to short term price trends. Meanwhile, as an option seller, the strategy benefits from the fact that Implied Volatility is very often higher than Realised Volatility. The strategy constructs weekly, combined trades to profit from these inefficiencies. The trades are applied to currency, equity, commodity and FI listed markets.
