Robert J. Hartman’s trading
methods are proprietary and
confidential. The following
description is of necessity
and is not intended to be exhaustive.
The Advisor will employ only
technical analysis in making
trading decisions. Technical
analysis is not based on the
anticipated supply and demand
of cash (actual) commodity;
instead, it is based on the
theory that a study of the markets
themselves will provide a means
of anticipating futures prices.
Technical analysis of the markets
often includes a study of the
actual intraday daily, weekly
and monthly price volume and
open interest data, utilizing
charts and or computers for
analysis of these items.
Pacific Capital Advisors has
developed a series of proprietary
computerized trading systems
that generate trading
signals. Buy and sell orders
are placed in the various markets
traded based upon these signals.

Program Description:
Trading Systems |
The computerized trading systems
are designed to respond to short-term
market fluctuations that may
last only a portion of a day,
or up to several days. Both
momentum and mean reversion
trading techniques are employed
across a variety of futures
markets. Employing stop loss
levels, time exits and diversification
across sectors and geographical
regions controls risk. Emphasis
is placed on preservation of
capital. The capital at risk
per trade is planned in advance
and strictly adhered to.
These aforementioned short-term
trading systems are used in
the following program as described
below.
|
The Vanguard Trading
Program |
Vanguard is an intraday program
trading a variety of systems
with holding periods of less
than one hour to one session.
Trades are not held overnight
thereby eliminating the risk
of overnight price shocks.
Momentum and mean reversion
methods are used. Contracts
traded are typically limited
to U.S. stock indices and energies.
This program tends to have a
low correlation with other managed
futures programs.
