The trading methodology of MARIN CAPITAL MARKETS was developed through intense research that draws upon the judgment, experience, and knowledge of the technical factors affecting various commodity markets and attempts to identify optimal trading opportunities within these markets. The trading approach relies heavily on the disciplined management of risk and the use of multiple, non-correlated technical strategies to manage futures and options positions. The Advisor will generally employ a dual approach that utilizes technical and fundamental methods when deciding to take positions in the futures markets. The Advisor will also seek to exploit perceived market inefficiencies in the price of selected futures contracts through both long and short positions and through the use of options to minimize risk and maximize potential returns.
