The following describes the type of systematic approach and management philosophy employed by C3I Capital Management, LLC (the Advisor). Our trading system consists of two components: precise entry and exit algorithms and proper money management. In our current trading program, (S.M.A.R.T.) we will trade only commodity futures originated on the following exchanges; CME, CBOT, COMEX and ICE. We do not forecast prices or claim to be  purely fundamental or technical traders. We believe that over time, a well diversified portfolio of commodities will experience periods of volatility, due to changes of supply and demand brought on by external global phenomena, which can be capitalized on, when purchased or sold at appropriate prices. While entry and exit are important components of all trading systems, without proper money management, results can be jeopardized. We will not initiate a position without the ability to immediately place a ‘protective’ stop-loss order. Our capital-allocation model uses a fixed-fractional approach, which increases allocation as equity increases and decreases allocation as equity decreases, i.e. the number of contracts only changes at a new entry level. Risk of Ruin dictates that reducing risk accordingly precedes the adding to the allocation model as equity increases. As long as we have discipline and patience and adhere to our Risk Management standard, upside potential should be available as global markets continue to move in their cyclical patterns. While we will look to take advantage of trending market moves, we realize that markets are in consolidations or trading ranges about 60% - 70% of the time. In order to make money by following a trading strategy that only works 30% - 40% of the time, we need our winning trades to be larger than our losing trades. A risk-reward ratio of 1-3 or 1-4 is reasonable, knowing that most profits have shown to be smaller, with a few trades likely to show 1-7 or higher. Can oil prices hit $147.00 again? It’s been there before and if it were to happen again, our methodology would dictate a purchase at a level where most forecasters would dare to tread. Capitalizing on a major trend move is determined by the proper exit level, which will be identified by our proprietary technical liquidation algorithm generated trailing stop-loss order, which allows us to keep more profit, before a reversal.   If you would like more information or to request a copy of our Disclosure Document give us a call or complete the form below and you will be contacted by the next business day.
