  • Trading Strategy: Trident is a short-term systematic trading model that utilizes a technically based multi factor approach to generating strong risk adjusted returns under diverse market conditions in global futures markets. The system allocates its risk budget among directional and counter directional trading components. Trading leverage, as well as entry and exit signals, are dynamically determined and adjusted automatically by Trident based on current market volatility and momentum in order to more closely respond to the existing conditions in each market traded. Risk is strictly monitored and loss levels per trade are determined pre-entry for automatic exit while profits are allowed to run as Trident dynamically adjusts to protect trade profits as they accrue. The system trades highly liquid and diversified futures contracts in order to generate alpha across varying market segments and conditions.

    The system trades futures in diverse market segments including: Currencies, Fixed Income, Energy, Precious and Base Metals, Agricultural and Softs Markets.

    Accounting Notes: Actual performance reflects General Partners' separately managed account trading conducted after January 1, 2019. Live trading during November-December 2018 (when trading first commenced) is not reflected, as lower leverage, debugging of trading strategy, and corrections with signal timing make such period unrepresentative of the Strategy. Returns presented from January 1, 2019, to May 31, 2019, represent the General Partners' separately managed account with the Global Macro strategy, management fees of 1.5% and incentive fees of 15% (Founders A Share Class) and, the performance does not include underlying fund expenses. From June 1, 2019, to the present, returns represent the Trident Fund LP Global Macro (1.5% mgmt and 20% incentive) and Global Macro Enhanced 2.0% mgmt and 20% incentive) share class returns and incorporate fund expenses such as administrator, audit, tax, and other operating costs. From March of 2023, the Global Macro Enhanced Four (4) was launched (4.5% mgmt and 20% incentive), incorporating fund expenses such as administrator, audit, tax, and other operating costs.
