Visioneering Research and Development Company

V-100-E Diversified Program

Visioneering makes trading decisions for its V-100 program pursuant to multiple trading models. These models combine systematic, computerized technical trend-following or counter-trend methods with various levels of money management techniques. Systematic Technical analysis is an approach to the analysis of futures markets to determine likely future trends of commodity prices by examining the patterns of price change, rate of change, and change in volume of trading and open interest. The principal objective of the trading models is to profit from sustained futures price trends. Trend following is a method of trading which seeks to establish and maintain market positions based on major price movements. The V100-E Program follows the V100 rules in a more moderate interpretation and also includes the option of trading the E-mini S&P500 contracts in the commodity mix. Visioneering employs a systematic program management strategy, the purpose of which is to determine periods of high and low program risk. When, in the opinion of Visioneering such points are reached, positions may be reduced or increased, thereby increasing or decreasing program risk. Visioneering may from time to time increase or decrease the number of contracts held based on changes in internal market conditions, perceived changes in program-wide risk factors, or other factors which are deemed relevant. Visioneering at its sole discretion may override computer generated program signals and may at times use discretion in applying its systematic and quantitative models. This could occur, for example, when Visioneering determines that markets are illiquid or erratic, such as may occur during holiday seasons, or on the basis of irregularly occurring political or other market influencing events. In order to maintain and improve performance, Visioneering Research has engaged, and continues to engage, in extensive research. In addition, risk management research and analysis may suggest modifications regarding the relative weighting among various contracts, the addition or deletion of particular contracts for a program or a change in the degree of leverage employed.
