Introduction
Trading FX and Derivatives offers very lucrative returns, but like everything else, with high returns comes risk. Many individuals have traded currencies and futures on their own, and now realize that it takes a great deal of experience, time and research to reach the returns that make foreign exchange and futures so attractive.
Concept:
Strategic Trading has been created to offer these products:
1. Forex and Futures Managed Trading
2. Hedge fund based on speculation
3. STA Trading alerts
By utilizing 8 different traders/methodologies, risk are mitigated, as studies have shown that not all will have the same good and bad months, thereby smoothing the return curve. In addition, risk management external to the traders will provide additional mitigation of losses.
Some clients may prefer the simplicity of a hedge fund investment, while others may choose managed trading of their individual account. Managed accounts will be limited to a minimum of $50,000 USD initial opening deposit, (this will be increased subsequently) and the hedge fund participation has a minimum of $100,000 USD. The Hedge Fund will be subject to a fee of .5% of NAV (Net Asset Value) per quarter.
Our head trader has been providing STA alerts, and these will be available by subscription for US$200 per month and will be sent out by the trading team as they identify appropriate trades. Please contact our relationship manager for details.
Strategic Trading Associates, LLC provide clients with a very different income and fee setup from the norm. Forex trading produces income in two ways, the profit from trading, and a rebate of the bid/ask spread, essentially a commission, also known as “pippage”. Most trading advisors take an incentive fee on profits earned, and typically keep the pippage for themselves.
Strategic Trading Associates offer something very different we return 50% of the pippage back to the investor. What does this mean? It improves returns by as much as 15% net to the investor. If we look at a historical trading analysis, it is clear how this strategy enhances the returns, and smoothes the month to month variances. This makes Strategic Trading Associates very different from our competitors and an extremely attractive investment vehicle.
Performance
The following is a back tested analysis of our trading program, relying on actual trading, please be aware that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Based on the above actual trading results clients earned about 26% net return on investment after fees, for the first 7 months of trading.
Our target that forms part of our monthly decision making process is to return an average return minimum target of 3.5% NET per month to our clients.
