equipped to manage the investment process.
The Polar strategy is based on a modified Conversion and Diversion indicator, a
proprietary developed Centre of Gravity indicator, and trades across different
time frames.
The 1 hour and 4-hour charts are used to indicate the longer term direction of
the market. The shorter term candles (1 minute, 5 minutes and 15 minute) are
used to indicate the moves within the longer term time frames. Short positions
are rarely taken on a longer term (3 to 5 day) basis if the market is directionally
going up and/or long positions are rarely taken if the market is directionally
going down.
The Divergence indicator gives the actual signal to increase a short term
position. The Convergence indicator is used to give the signal to decrease an
existing short term position.
Long term time frames are analysed to determine the direction of the position.
The Short term timeframes are used to determine the entry points. The Centre
of Gravity Indicator helps to identify the main pivot points, which is the principle
advantage of this tool for both technical analysis and trading. The indicator is
also used to confirm if the short term time frames are confirming the move
which was set by the long term time frames and the Divergence indicator.
All positions are protected by a fixed stop loss. If the market volatility increases
positions are reduced and the stop loss positions are increased to give the same
final risk exposure of the portfolio.Investment Team

DISCLAIMER
Investing in the foreign exchange (Forex) market, alternative investments, and other leveraged asset classes carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all
types of investors. Before deciding to invest in any type of alternative investment, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, length of investment and risk
appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to
lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor, who is familiar with these types
of trading if you have any doubts. Trading in these markets is speculative and may involve loss of principal; therefore funds placed under management should be risk
capital funds that if lost will not significantly affect one’s personal or financial well being. This is not a solicitation to invest and you should carefully consider your financial
condition as to the suitability to your situation prior to making any investment or entering into any transaction. As an example, a margin deposit of $2,000 can control a
market value of approximately $100,000. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to
deposit; this may work against you as well as for you. We assume no responsibility for errors or inaccuracies in these materials. We do not warrant the accuracy or
completeness of the information, text or other items contained within these materials. We shall not be liable for any damages, including any loss that may result from
these materials. Any opinions, news, research, analyses, prices, or other information which may be contained on this document is provided as general market
commentary, and does not constitute investment advice. The authors shall not accept liability for any loss or damage, including without limitation to, any loss of profit,
which may arise directly or indirectly from use of reliance on such information. All trades, patterns, charts, systems, etc., discussed in this document are for illustrative
purposes only and not to be construed as specific advisory recommendations.
In some cases, managed forex and commodity accounts are subject to substantial charges for management and advisory fees. You should therefore carefully study all
provided disclosure documents and forex and commodity interest trading before participating in any capacity, including the description of the principal risk factors
involved in this type of an alternative investment. Before you participate in an alternative investment you should inquire about any rules relevant to your particular
contemplated transactions and ask the firm with which you intend to trade for details about the types of redress available in both your local and other relevant
jurisdictions. Account discrepancies often occur when tracking performance. These can sometimes vary significantly from one brokerage to another, based on the broker’s
technical structure, the underlying data feed the brokerage uses, how competitive their pricing is, their server time, and the commissions charged. All risk and
discrepancies are clearly identified in each of the program’s specific disclosure document. It should be strongly noted that past performance is never indicative of future
results.
