Program Description: The THS Accelerated Trend Following program is a Trend-Following program that is primarily systematic, using a proprietary blend of technical indicators, with a discretionary overlay, that generates specific Buy, Sell or No Entry signals in a basket of domestic futures markets. Markets traded are Stock Indexes, Financials, Metals, Currencies, Grains, Energies, Softs and Meats. From time to time the advisor may also utilize long options and option spreads. Once a trade is initiated, strict rules for risk management are implemented which includes, but are not limited to, trailing stop-losses on all positions. The average holding period is between 1 and 15 calendar days and the recommended account minimum is $100K with notional funding available. Position sizing is based on volatility and risk. The program has been shown to have a low correlation to traditional asset classes such as stocks and bonds. The Advisor maintains ongoing research into the characteristics of the markets traded.
