Steve DeCook is primarily responsible for the trading decisions and strategies employed by Four Seasons Commodities Corporation in the Hawkeye Spread Program. The Hawkeye Spread Program primarily trades in futures spreads or in futures and options spreads. The program seeks to potentially capture profits based on Four Season Commodities Corporation’s assessment of the relative value of two related agricultural futures or options contracts. The trading method is proprietary, and uses supply and demand analysis and seasonal trend analysis, among other strategies.

Malinda Goldsmith is primarily responsible for the trading decisions and strategies employed by Four Seasons Commodities Corporation in the Lone Star Program. The Lone Star Program seeks to potentially capture profits using futures and options in agricultural futures, is proprietary, and more directional in nature. Four Seasons Commodities Corporation utilizes flat price futures trading, spreads, and may either buy or sell outright positions in the options market.

Generally speaking, the time frame for trades in the Lone Star Program is likely to be shorter than for trades in the Hawkeye Spread Program. The absolute number of trades (not necessarily contracts per trade) is likely to be higher in the Lone Star Program, thus total margin requirement and commission generation is likely to be higher as well. Specific risk management principles may vary between the programs. Although trade selection in the programs may be similar or even occasionally exactly the same in the Hawkeye Spread Program and the Lone Star Program, actual entry or exit points or date of trade execution may differ between the programs.

Even though Steve DeCook is primarily responsible for the Hawkeye Spread Program and Malinda Goldsmith is primarily responsible for the Lone Star Program, both programs reflect the analysis, information sources and input of both persons. As a result, each program has certain basic common elements:

Primarily Agricultural Futures & Options

Each program trades primarily in the agricultural futures and options. Please note, however, that the markets in which Four Seasons Commodities Corporation will trade may grow and there are no restrictions on such growth. In fact, Four Seasons Commodities Corporation may, in the future, trade nonagricultural futures and options on occasion. The preference of a trade will depend upon which market Four Seasons Commodities Corporation determines will provide the best potential opportunities for profit.

Fundamental Analysis

Four Seasons Commodities Corporation will consider "fundamental" analysis. Four Seasons Commodities Corporation looks at fundamental factors that affect the supply and demand of a particular commodity in order to predict future prices. As an example, some of the fundamental factors that affect the supply of a commodity (e.g., corn) include the acreage planted, crop conditions such as drought, flood, and disease; strikes affecting the planting, harvesting, and distribution of the commodity; and the previous year's crop carryover. The demand for commodities such as corn consists of domestic consumption and exports and is a product of many things, including general world economic conditions, as well as the cost of corn in relation to the cost of competing products such as soybean meal. In addition, Four Seasons Commodities Corporation reviews historical and seasonal patterns which may indicate the direction the market may move in the future.

Technical Analysis

Four Seasons Commodities Corporation's analysis also looks at certain technical factors such as the price of a commodity in relation to its price during previous periods, open interest, and volume. These factors are generally used by Four Seasons Commodities Corporation to assist in determining when to liquidate positions.

Risk Management

Effective risk management is a crucial aspect of each trading program. With the goal of limiting potential loss, Four Seasons Commodities Corporation uses calculated risk assessment techniques. Account size, expectation, volatility of market traded and the nature of other positions taken are all factors in deciding whether to take a position and determining the amount of equity committed to that position. Protective stops may, on occasion, be used to control risks.
