Program Overview

ContraCOT Program

ContraCOT is a systematic global macro futures trading strategy that leverages the CFTC’s Commitments of Traders (“COT”) data to gauge market positioning and pinpoint favorable risk-reward opportunities when Speculators are over-concentrated. Proprietary technical analysis is employed to confirm moves and trade against (or “Contra”) the Speculators, yielding a strategy uncorrelated to both traditional assets and other CTAs

Meticulously Engineered

Over 10,000 trades individually back-tested, validated, and stress-tested

Ideas-Driven Framework

Inputs and assumptions grounded in explainable ideas, minimizing overfitting risk

Multi-Directional Approach

Trades are taken on both the short and long side of markets with a bias toward long trades

Right-Skewed Results

Losses tend to be more uniform, while wins vary in magnitude

Risk Management First

Volatility-adjusted position sizing ensures that an exit is determined before any trade is entered

Efficient Capital Usage

Margin usage of 10% on average

Investment Approach

Key Tenets to the Program

The ContraCOT program seeks to generate alpha by exploiting market positioning and managing risk & profit through disciplined rules

Theory

Concentrated speculative positioning in futures markets can create conditions for counter-trend moves

 

Two Types of Market Participants

  1. Commercial Hedgers: Producers and users of the commodities who are less price-sensitive
  2. Speculators: Traders seeking profits through various strategies who are more price sensitive

When speculators are too concentrated on one side of the market:

    • There are fewer participants available to continue the trend
    • A minor catalyst counter to the trend can trigger a liquidation cycle, driving prices toward a equilibrium

Execution

Two-Step Execution Process

  • Concentrated Positioning is Identified
  • The CFTC’s Commitments of Traders Report provides weekly insights into the positioning of market participants
  • A proprietary system identifies when speculator positioning is over-concentrated on one side of the market and looks to enter an opposing trade
  • Technical Indicators Confirm the Trade
  •  Proprietary indicators validate timing before trades are placed

Risk & Profit Management1

Liquidity-based position sizing, protection, and profit targets are set before trades are executed

Liquidity screening is used to avoid slippage in illiquid markets

Prudent leverage controls help to maintain a targeted margin-to-equity ratio of 10% on average

1Even with the risk management methods utilized by the Advisor, there is the potential for the risk of loss

RISK DISCLOSURE

The risk of loss in trading commodity interests can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. In considering whether to trade or to authorize someone else to trade for you, you should be aware of the following:

  1. If you purchase or sell a commodity futures contract you may sustain a total loss of the initial margin funds or security deposit and any additional funds that you deposit with your broker to establish or maintain your position. If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon by your broker to deposit a substantial amount of additional margin funds, on short notice, in order to maintain your position. If you do not provide the requested funds within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account.
  2. Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, when the market makes a ‘‘limit move.’’
  3. The placement of contingent orders by you or your trading advisor, such as a ‘‘stop-loss’’ or ‘‘stop-limit’’ order, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
  4. The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in commodity interest trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.
  5. This brief statement cannot disclose all the risks and other significant aspects of the commodity interest markets. You should therefore carefully study commodity interest trading and the advisor’s disclosure document before you trade.
  6. This commodity trading advisor is prohibited by law from accepting funds in the trading advisor’s name from a client for trading commodity interests. You must place all funds for trading in this trading program directly with a futures commission merchant.
