  • Trading Strategy: The Advisor utilizes a multi-system algorithmic trend following approach to the markets. Occasionally, discretion and judgment may be used for risk management purposes or in connection with order entry timing. The systems used have undergone an evolutionary development, some for protracted periods. Many of the current systems bear little resemblance to their prototypes. The systems are subject to change if the methodical principles indicate that it is warranted. The markets traded have been chosen for historical performance, and for customary liquidity.
