LewFam’s Currency Trading Program trades in only the most liquid currency pairs. The spot FX market has an estimated $3 Trillion in daily volume and therefore enables pursuit of diverse strategies without an adverse impact on the market volatility. No single position or trader can “move” the market. LewFam employs multiple traders with diverse strategies and backgrounds. A brief overview of the strategies being employed is covered below (Shaded Areas represent LewFam’s Strategic Emphases :)

Active currency management as is being pursued at LewFam is best understood as two distinct trading approached: systematic and discretionary.
 LewFam currently employs the services of two highly regarded discretionary traders with combined trading experience of over 10 years. Discretionary traders have proprietary rules and techniques which help them to identify high probability trading opportunities. Unlike systematic approaches, discretionary traders may choose to ignore or exercise discretion as to which opportunities to capitalize upon. These traders thoroughly analyze the price charts of the major currency pairs on a daily basis. Each day, analysis techniques include (but are not limited to) wave analysis (Elliot Wave), Fibonacci retrenchments/extensions, time cycles, volume, divergences, momentum, oscillators, probability models, penetration identification, and candlestick patterns.
LewFam also employs the services of two experienced systematic traders. Systematic traders hardcode trading rules into a computerized mechanical trading system. This algorithmic trading system can be back-tested over time so as to discern characteristics of the rules being employed in varying market conditions that have occurred in the past. An added advantage of algorithmic trading is that it can truly take advantage of the 24hr hour FX market as the systems are run on dedicated servers around the clock.
LewFam actively manages the allocation of leverage and marginable equity so as to be able to consistently deliver the desired return to our investors while managing the downside risk exposure. Both the discretionary and the systematic trading programs adhere to strict rules of risk management including but not limited to: use of stop loss orders, limitations on the size of any one trading position, and strict adherence to style and strategic mandates.
Simply put, the key to understanding LewFam’s trading program is that when a position is established, the trader allows the profits to run and exits when the market reaches a point where a reversal in trend could be expected. Because of this negative correlation the program could potentially be an excellent diversification to any CTA portfolio and/or an excellent standalone investment.
The traders wants to emphasize that LewFam’s Currency Trading Program is only for investors suitable for speculation and in the financial position to sustain substantial losses in return for the potential for returns in excess of 100% per year.
