Program Description: Objective

Pere Trading Group’s primary objective is the capital appreciation of its client’s assets through speculation in commodity futures contracts. No assurance can be given that this objective will be met, and an investment in an account to be traded by Pere Trading Group should only be considered by investors that can assume the significant risk of commodity futures trading, including losses in excess of their initial investment. Pere Trading Group will attempt to meet the objective of capital appreciation by making trading decisions based upon proprietary methods.

Pere Trading Group has developed a trading model that analyzes intra-day E-mini S&P 500 futures price changes in conjunction with daily price changes over a recent span of days to compute daily trading signals. From this analysis, the Pere Trading Group model calculates a desired position in the E-mini S&P 500 futures contract and trades this market accordingly. The model is short term in nature. The average trade duration lasts approximately four days. The system is always in the market (either long or short) therefore each trade executed is a reversal of position from long to short or short to long. Pere trading has developed a fully automated trading system which determines, at multiple times during the trading day, the price at which to execute a trade along with how many contracts to trade for each account. There can be no assurance that Pere Trading Group’s approach to trading will yield the same results as it has in the past.
