Trading Description:
The Advisor will trade 4 Micro E-Mini S&P 500 futures contracts and 1 Micro E-Mini Nasdaq futures per $35,000. For each additional $7,000 in customer accounts this will trigger a change in position sizing. Once the sizing of the micro contracts gets to the point where there is an equivalent e-mini contract, The Advisor will reduce the micro contracts and hold one full e-mini in its place.
Contract position sizing is calculated on a trade close to close basis. Should the initial $35,000 have a losing trade resulting for example in losses of $7,000, then the Advisor will switch to trading 3 Micro EMini S&P 500 contracts and 1 Micro E-Mini Nasdaq futures contract. There will be a reduction to the previous teer for every loss of $7,000 in the account.
