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.

2006         6.67 9.68 5.07 5.13 -2.19 -4.75 2.43 8.21 33.45
The primary trading strategy of FCI - CPP will be to sell, on behalf of a client, options on futures contracts. However, FCI - CPP is different from the Option Selling Strategy program because FCI - CPP may sell options that are (a) likely to be closer to the expiration date, ranging from four (4) days to ninety (90) days from expiration, [versus thirty (30) to forty-five (45) days from expiration for the Option Selling Strategy program], and (b) closer to being "in the money". The program also utilizes more of a vertical credit and calendar spread strategy, thus reducing per trade capital requirements. When premium collection transactions become unprofitable contracts, offsetting futures contracts or options are purchased as a hedge to limit further future contract losses. The net effect is that FCI - CPP targets higher returns with additional contracts being executed. There is an increased likelihood of the strike price being met on options written versus the portfolio of options written in the Option Selling Strategy program. Furthermore, FCI - CPP is more progressive with its rolling forward, exiting out of option contracts, and with the rolling further out as a hedge to limit contract losses. FCI - CPP will also utilize directional future trades from time to time. This will occur when underlying futures appear to be over extended in either an over or under valued status in relation to historical values of an underlying commodity. Finally, FCI - CPP program will utilize larger margin account balances with capital requirements targeted at a range of 40% to 60% of the total account balance.
