Program Description: The SRD Currency program trades CME Group's Currency Futures. Positions are generally held intraday, and we close out positions before weekends or holidays, to pare risk. Every trade uses a stop-loss order for protection, and generally seeks a multiple of any amount risked. Blake Capital Management, Inc. All of our programs are exclusively focused on pattern recognition strategies and proactive risk-management. See our most recent Disclosure Document for more information. Investment Strategy This FX Futures trading program is intended to be uncorrelated to stock market performance. We risk capital to seek exposure to currency fluctuations. Risk Management Every trade to establish a new position accompanies a new stop-loss order for protection. Program trades in most liquid FX futures markets, such as Euro FX and Great British Pound futures ("6E" and "6B"). VAR and market impact are considered when devising and executing strategy
