High Frequency Premium Alpha II
Program Description
CAIM Premium High Frequency Trading is an aggressive predominantly intraday, high frequency managed futures trading program that invests into futures through three different time zones (Europe, US and Asia) managed by Capital Alternative Investment Management (CAIM).
The goal of the Advisor's Trading Program is to trade financial futures in order to achieve an above average absolute return compared to classic asset classes like stock and bond investments. The methodology employed is under constant revision and refinement, and the Advisor has discretion and reserves the right to selectively use the methodology from time to time.
Trading methodology is based on a proprietary array of different fundamental and technical indicators, which give insight into market price action, trends, and market sentiment, as well as important support and resistance levels. In addition, mathematically calculated buy and sell resistance points are used to guide trade entry.
These methods are applied to multiple time frames to determine the direction and degree of trend at all levels. Through market research, specific rules have been developed and applied to determine levels of entry for each position. Together, the results of the technical and quantitative analysis and application of rules form a discretionary and/or mechanical trading model.
CAIM employs a pragmatic approach to managing money. CAIM is not limited to any single style "fundamental" or "technical". It is pragmatic and picking the right style - as his analytical template - at the right time is fundamental to his process. CAIM is not looking for a single, perfect, 100% certain idea.
The advisor is looking for a variety of separate investments where, in each case, the balance of risk and reward is heavily in its favour. In investment terms, a market is not necessarily good or bad; it depends at what time and at what price.
At the end of each year CAIM judges itself on the value of the portfolio not the quality of its ideas.
CAIM respects the market and is paid to change its mind. U-turns are allowed. Previous positions, convictions, philosophies, presentations, debates, where necessary, must be thrust aside by "what is right now".
We believe that an investment strategy can only be as successful as the discipline of the manager to adhere to its requirements in the face of market adversity.
Positive management of risk is at the heart of CAIM´s approach. Strong emphasis is placed on market analysis and trading, alongside fundamental analysis.
Often the first indication of a change in circumstances can be seen in financial market prices and the market can often guide the efforts of CAIM´s analysis.
Furthermore, where fundamental views are strongly held, technical analysis can provide a useful catalyst for a change in stance.
The risk management process means funds may increase and reduce holdings in a market many times before finally relinquishing a position.
A system of stop losses, combined with market analysis, enables CAIM to limit losses on specific positions.
As a general rule CAIM applies a maximum 30% margin to equity ratio and intraday stop loss of 3% of NAV(net asset value).
