  • Trading Strategy: Breakout is an opportunistic global macro strategy. We incorporate quantitatively researched viewpoints with the current global macro landscape to place shorter term and concentrated trades in less than 10 futures markets at any given time. Our typical holding periods range from a few hours to four days. Risk Strategy: Our risk management philosophy is first to protect principal. To do this, we look at daily losses in the context of our overall monthly and yearly return. As drawdowns occur, we tighten up our daily risk. As we produce profit, we allow for larger positions and thus greater potential risk, and therefore reward. In this way, our biggest down days are typically within our best months.
