CLEARPATH PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The ClearPath system is a combination of two trading techniques for trading the S&P, E-Mini and E-Micro futures. Typically, there will be 1 to 3 or 4 trades per month, with trades lasting in most cases from as little as 24 hours to several weeks, and on rare occasions even longer.   Though the systems trade futures, they also use price data of the the cash indexes and other fundamental data as filters. Thus, trading tends to be more prolific during times where there are stronger underpinnings to the equities markets.

Client accounts under $100,000 USD initial euity will trade Micro S&P 500 futures contract, while client accounts with initial equity greater than $100,000 USD will trade the E-Mini S&P 500 futures contract.

IMPORTANT RISK FACTORS AND PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURES

THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING COMMODITY FUTURES AND OPTIONS CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS. Prior to purchasing or leasing a trading system from this or any other system vendor or investing in a trading system with a registered commodity trading representative, investors need to carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for them in light of their own specific financial condition. In some cases, futures accounts are subject to substantial charges for commission, management, incentive or advisory fees. It may be necessary for accounts subject to these charges to make substantial trading profits to avoid depletion or exhaustion of their assets. In addition, one should carefully study the accompanying prospectus, account forms, disclosure documents and/or risk disclosure statements required by the CFTC or NFA, which are provided directly by the system vendor, CTAs and/or the broker carrying your account. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

General Risk Disclosure for Futures Trading: Transactions in securities futures, commodity and index futures and options on futures carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the futures contract, meaning that transactions are heavily “leveraged”. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit: this may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the clearing firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.
