The accounts are traded on a discretionary basis. A variety of strategies are combined and
implemented by the trader with reduced risk thanks to more than 12 years experience of the
financial markets and more than eight years trading foreign exchange. The objective is to
maximize returns while managing risk so as to avoid drawdowns of more than 15%. This is
generally done by taking advantage of low risk market opportunities, while withdrawing from
the markets when results and conditions deteriorate so as to protect capital.

Actual performance of the model account since 2006:
Currency trading on leverage involves high risk of losses. Although the accounts are traded within conservative guidelines
(leverage up to 15 times account equity but most of the time 3 times or less) and although the objective is to not lose
money, one should generally not invest more than 20% of their portfolio or liquid assets in alternative strategies such as
currency and commodity trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results, commissions, other trading costs
and manager's compensation may adversely affect client's performance. The account may trade less actively or with
reduced leverage for long periods of time in case performance deteriorates, this generally reduces the size of drawdowns
but can increase the time to recover and reach new equity highs .
