Overview
The Energy Volatility Program is a systematic Volatility hedged option program guided by a proprietary trading model developed to trade the CME/NYMEX Energy futures volatility and designed to anticipate when the market is in or about to enter a turbulent time. The Energy Volatility Program uses a proprietary options strategy, which includes options selling and options writing, to capitalize on the systematic entry signals produced by the program. Long option hedging is systematically designed to anticipate when the market is in or about to enter a turbulent time. While the hedging is intended to implement adequate risk measures, if an account does not meet the minimum account size requirement of $100,000 for this program, it is likely BGA will not be able to properly hedge or hedge at all in the account, thus exposing the account to large gains and losses compared to other accounts that were able to be hedged.
