Program Description: The Stock Index Option Writing Strategy writes call and put options on index futures (primarily on the S&P index but occasionally also on other indices). The strategy is designed to capture the decay of option premiums. The program sells deep out-of-the-money options after unusual Stock Market movements. Option contracts are written at a sufficient distance to allow in most cases, for the options to expire worthless. Primarily uncovered or naked options are sold (although spreads are utilized at times). The advisor may also take outright positions in the underlying future contract. The trading strategy is mostly discretionary. Both fundamental and technical analysis are incorporated into the trading decision.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS. AN INVESTOR COULD POTENTIALLY LOSE MORE THAN THE INITIAL INVESTMENT. AN INVESTOR MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND THE COMMODITY TRADING ADVISOR'S CURRENT DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT BEFORE INVESTING. SELLING OPTIONS INVOLVES UNLIMITED RISK OF LOSS. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF PROFIT NO MATTER WHO IS MANAGING YOUR MONEY. THIS MATTER IS INTENDED AS A SOLICITATION TO INVEST IN MANAGED FUTURES.
