Trading Strategy: The trend following portion of the program may utilize short-term, medium-term or long-term positions. The program may trade both the long and short sides of the market. In its evaluation of the markets, DCM employs systematic technical trend-following strategy utilizing various levels of money management techniques. The principal objective is to profit from sustained futures price trends. The enhancement from the option trading for this program is based primarily on writing out-of-the-money call and put options with the expectation that the options will either be bought back at a lower price or expire. In an effort to control risk, based on a proprietary risk control system developed by Mr. Hu, the trader will roll out of positions either vertically (to a further month) or diagonally (further out-of-the-money), as determined by current market conditions.

Accounting Notes: Due to the MF Global bankruptcy certain accounts were not under the control of the CTA and were excluded from the performance calculation. There were 4 accounts excluded, totaling $429,389, or 39% of assets under management for the ESP in November 2011. The performance range for accounts excluded in November 2011 was -1.75% to -2.39%. Two of these accounts then closed as a result of the MFG bankruptcy. The initial account utilizing the Enhanced S&P Program began trading in July 2009 and is a limited partnership which includes family members and friends of the family that became interested in the trading program through their relationship with Mr. Hu. Performance for this account is considered proprietary under CFTC guidelines. The accounts included in this table were charged actual fees ranging from 0% to 2% Management fees and 20% to 30% Incentive fees.
