System Methodology
Our trading programs are trend following in nature. Potential profits come from markets moving higher or lower in price, we do not have a long only bias. We believe money management is critical for success; current risk
control is critical to ensuring future profitability.
The programs do not attempt to predict trends. The existence or length of a trending market is not known until after it happens. We look for markets currently moving higher or lower in price. Once spotted we will buy or
short sell the market with the goal of profiting from future market movement.
Diversification
Our programs offer diversification generally unmatched in traditional investments. Few other investments allow an individual to diversify across such a wide range of markets in one vehicle. The system currently looks for
trading opportunities in 40+ global markets in the following market sectors: Currencies, Energies, Grains, Interest Rates, Meats, Soft Commodities, and the Stock Indexes (a complete market list is located in the performance section).
A complete listing of performance is located with each of our programs.
Program Risks
There is no assurance that Chadwick's investment programs will generate positive returns for their customers in the future. Past performance
is not indicative of future results.
Trading on non-US exchanges is not regulated by any US Government agency and may involve certain risks not applicable to trading
on US Exchanges. You may be required to maintain deposits in foreign currency to satisfy margin rates set by foreign exchanges. In
this circumstance your capital is at risk both to market movement and the movement of the non-US Dollar currency.
In some circumstances futures contracts can become illiquid. This makes it difficult to establish or dispose of contracts. Although
Chadwick intends to trade in liquid markets, no assurance can be given that Chadwick's orders will be executed at or near the desired price.
The use of Stop orders does not guarantee profits or losses set at a certain price. There may be extraordinary events which create circumstances
where Stop orders are not executed as designed. Government actions in the market, the release of important statistics, or other macro events could
create market volatility which causes a market to gap higher or lower in price. In situations such as these, programs may experience higher than normal
risk in a market or market sector.
Commodity prices are highly volatile. Price movements for commodities and futures are influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships; weather; agricultural, trade, fiscal, monetary,
and exchange control programs and policies of governments; United States and foreign political and economic events and policies; changes in national and international interest rates and rates of inflation; currency devaluations
and revaluations; and emotions of the marketplace. None of these factors can be controlled by Chadwick and no assurance can be given that Chadwickâs advice will result in profitable trades for a participating client or that a
client will not incur losses.
The low margin deposits normally required in commodity trading (typically between 2% and 15% of the value of the contract purchased or sold short) permit and extremely high degree of leverage. Accordingly,
a relatively small price movement in a contract may result in immediate and substantial losses for the investor. For example, if at the time of purchase 10% of the price of a futures contract is deposited as margin, a
10% decrease in the price of the contract would, if the contract is then closed out, result in a total loss of the margin deposit before any deduction for brokerage commissions. A decrease of more than 10% would
result in a loss of more than the total margin deposit. Thus, like other leverage investments, a trade may result in losses in excess of the amount invested.
