All logic is 100% objective and fully disclosed, all trading activity and fees completely transparent, all trades fully automated using ChartVPS and CQG Integrated Client, with guaranteed accuracy  linked to your choice of  exchange member(s) worldwide. 

3) Risk Tolerance Protocol

Realistically accessing risk and maintaining objective, discipline is essential to success. As important as trading discipline is having a defined exit strategy in place in the event of a program failure. Our operational framework utilizes a Structured Risk Tolerance (SRT) model. This is a hard-wired exit protocol that is defined on every allocation before the first trade takes place,

    • Risk Tolerance:175% of previous maximum drawdown measured from highest settlement value high to lowest settlement value low, marked-to-the-market daily. 
    • Margin requirement: maximum exchange margin for all contracts in an allocation for the previous 24 months. 
    • Maintenance Balance: Liquidating value stop, If a daily settlement liquidation value breaches this floor, the protocol triggers a total liquidation of all positions on or before the next settlement.
    • Trailing Maintenance Balance: This floor is dynamic. As the account appreciates, the Maintenance Balance can be adjusted upward to lock in gains (this works just like a trailing stop loss order on a trade) 

4) Formula for recommended minimum capitalization 

    • Margin: Maximum margin requirement for the allocation over the previous 24 months
    • Add Risk Tolerance: 175% of maximum HH to LL historical drawdown. 
    • Equals Recommended Minimum Capitalization

Example 
Maximum Margin Requirement for the previous 24-months: $200,000
Maximum Historical Drawdown: $100,000
Risk Tolerance: (175% of Maximum Drawdown):$175,000
Margin $200,000 + Risk Tolerance $175,000  = Recommended capitalization $375,000

5) The Treasury Bill Yield Policy = Capital Efficiency.

The majority of the exchange members we work with maintain a liberal Treasury Bill Policy, allowing up to 80% of your account liquidation value to be held in U.S. Government securities.

Because the CME Group accepts short-term Treasuries as the functional equivalent of cash for collateralizing margin requirements, your principal remains a yielding asset. This enables you to capture current market interest rates on the majority of your balance 100% of the time.

6) Safety of Funds (this applies only to CME clearing firms

Since 1848, no customer of a CME clearing firm has ever suffered a permanent loss of principal in a properly segregated account due to an insolvency. 

When your account is held directly at a CME member firm it’s protected by the CME Financial Safeguard System (FSS). In the event of a CME member firm insolvency for any reason—including fraud (e.g., Refco or Lehman Brothers)—the system transfers all customer accounts, positions and segregated funds to a CME member firm in good standing, If there is a shortfall in customer funds (generally there is) the FSS restores the balance from the guarantee account typically within 24 to 48 hours. There was one exception that took longer, the 2011 MF Global liquidation, but all customers in properly segregated accounts were ultimately made whole, receiving 100 cents on the dollar. 
.

7) The Clearing Member Advantage:

    • Unlimited Scope of Protection: Unlike the SIPC, which is capped at $500,000, the CME’s Financial Safeguard System has no fixed dollar limit per account. Whether an account holds $50K or $50M, the protocol ensures the full protection and transfer of all segregated assets.
    • The Default Waterfall: This multi-layered safety net utilizes the clearinghouse’s own capital and a dedicated guaranty fund to protect the market and its customers from systemic failure.
    • Stringent Oversight: Clearing members must meet elevated capital requirements and undergo continuous, real-time monitoring by CME Clearing.

8) When you work with my team, we have a shared objective

We base compensation on 5.00% to 12.50% of net new high profits quarterly, all incentive fees must be approved by you prior to being deducted from your account.

      • Zero Management Fees: We do not charge “AUM” fees. 
      • Platform Neutrality: We cover all platform costs.
      • Veteran Execution: You will not be relegated to “AI click-through hell” or a minimum-wage service desk. Every account is assigned a Veteran Broker with a minimum of 15 years of professional experience.
      • Reality Check: While firms like Interactive Brokers pay their service reps at the same level as California fast-food employee, when you contact us, you talk to a professional who’s already familiar with you, your account and your objectives.
