  • Trading Strategy: The Oceanaa Futures program is a short-term statistical pattern recognition strategy. The program only trades one derivative of one specific pattern and is unique to the G10 currency markets. We have studied over 100 years of G10 data in all market conditions and this pattern has emerged with enough frequency to trade. We trade positions within a strict, established framework and more importantly, manage the risk within defined parameters of the performance envelope of the Ascinaa program. The Ascinaa program has always been heavily bias toward managing risk and maintain low drawdowns and low volatility. We have now leveraged this in the Oceanaa program to provide a more dynamic performance profile but nevertheless maintain the same risk management techniques. Risk Strategy: There is a heavy bias in the program to manage drawdowns and volatility. Through our understanding of the monthly historical data, and past performance, we consider we are able to recover relatively quickly if drawdowns occur in any given month. Within the development, and risk framework of the program, positions are strategically placed concurrent with tight stop loss orders on larger than average margin to equity trades. Some stages will require minor margin requirements and these stop loss orders will have a somewhat different and larger separation.

    Accounting Notes: Hypothetical ProForma Performance Results adjusted for a 1% management fee and a 20% incentive fee from Jan 2019 to Oct 2023 based on the a 4x leveraged version of the Ascinaa Program. The Oceanaa Futures utilises the same risk management framework and architecture as the Ascinaa Program with 4X leverage. Client results starting in November 2023.
