Galore Ticks (page 7) Equilibrium Ticks (page 8)

Moderate Portfolio The Moderate Portfolio primarily attempts to avoid short-term loss, but still seeks somewhat higher profits over the long term. Some fluctuations in investment value are to be expected.

The Neural system employs several trading

ideas based on innovative and sophisticated

concepts. Unlike linear indicators, it was

originally designed for the sinusoidal curves study,

decisional intelligent systems, neural networks and pattern recognition.

Carry Ticks

Since every currency

trade involves borrowing one currency to buy

another, interest rollover charges are an inherent part of FX trading. This

fact resulted in the evolution of the Carry

system.

Knowing the direction and the currency pairs yielding high daily interest rates enables us to combine different models, and carry trade concepts, in order to allow the carry trade model to compensate the overall risk of the system.

Momentum Ticks

The Momentum

system utilizes the mostly common trend-following

approach that is based on the analysis of

Momentum liner indicator which triggers the entry and exit signals. This concept is diversified amongst 7 different currency pairs and 4 different timeframes.

2008 5.86 5.86

Total 132.60

Utilizing a blend of diversification and risk control, we look to make profits when the markets are trending, particularly over the medium and long term. The one scenario that can cause losses is when a majority of markets are displaying flat/choppy patterns simultaneously for an extended period of time.

exploit overbought and oversold market

conditions but mainly in the direction of the long-

term trend.

Any performance results shown in this

brochure are based on executed trades

in a demo brokerage account and

are gross of all fees.

All the Systems were operating

through one brokerage account.

Hence trading statement for any

particular system is replaced with

a trade history generated by MT

Automated Trading Platform. The

trade history contains a list of all

trades which include an individual

Ticked ID number provided by the

execution broker.

*Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve

profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual

results subsequently achieved by any particularly trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk. Variables such as the ability to

adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses as well as maintaining adequate liquidity are material points which can adversely affect actual real trading results.

The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of

experience, 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 if you have any doubts.
