Trading Strategy:
1. Buckingham's Weekly E-mini Program (SEP) is a commodity option strategy employing an absolute return investment approach. The Strategy primarily writes (sells) a series of out of money (OTM) call and put options on S&P 500 E-mini futures.
2. SEP focuses on short duration derivatives - the option expires within 30 days, because the time decay is the greatest in those final days. It does this primarily by identifying the option strikes with best risk/reward ratio according to our proprietary Quant model.
3. SEP adopts the risk management mechanism both in position and portfolio level (same as WEP, hedging based on daily P/L).
4. SEP aims for Sharpe Ratio +2.5 long term (5+ years) considering tail risk due to the economic cycles. Risk Strategy: N/A

Worst Drawdown - The Worst Drawdown reflects the greatest loss from Inception. Worst Drawdown can be defined as the potential cost of higher return.

Annual Compound Rate of Return - The Annualized Compounded Rate of Return represents the average return of the CTA over the time frame of the report. It smoothes out returns by assuming constant growth.

Calmar Ratio - The Calmar Ratio - Calmar Ratio represents the historical amount gained for each dollar risked. A higher number is better. Unless otherwise denoted the Calmar Ratio is calculated by dividing the 36 month Compounded ROR by the 36 month Peak to Valley Drawdown. Traders with less than 36 months of data or a negative Calmar Ratio will be indicated by N/A.

Sharpe Ratio - The Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted ratio that rewards consistency of returns. Traders are penalized for volatility regardless of whether it is on the up or downside. The Sharpe Ratios is calculated using a 1% risk-free rate of return.
