Our Strategies
General
Every capital management company should be founded on sound strategies of money management as well as operational management. We believe FTT was founded on these sound core principles. It is our hope that this will in turn attract the types of clients that we seek - clients educated or willing to be educated in our investment field, clients that expect full accountability of company operations, and clients that believe in a long term relationship with the company.
Preserve Capital
It’s your hard earned money. Exposing your account to undue risks just to chase performance can result in unacceptable losses. FTT lives by unemotional exit rules that protects the downside, and is prepared to go without any trading during periods of elevated risk, uncertainty, or volatility.
Active Management
We do not manage your account with just one trading style that fails as market conditions change. Our range and depth of tools allow us to trade adaptively with the market. Most of the trades we make are very short term in nature, so you will rarely see a trade held over 24 hours. This is the reason why we are rarely affected by changing market conditions. We have trading opportunities in both trending and range bound markets.
Performance Dictates Compensation
We believe managers’ and clients’ interests must be aligned. FTT is structured on a performance-based fee model. If you do well, we do well. If you don’t, we don’t. If there is a negative return for the month, it is carried forward and must first be recouped, before performance fees can again be earned..
Transparent Operation
There is nothing to hide, and there shouldn’t be. FTT provides full accountability of all activity on your account. You can monitor your account in real time status 24/7. This even lets you watch trades as they take place. It should also be clear to you by now that we are quick to provide full live help, telephone support, and detailed contact information.

RISK DISCLOSURE
The risk of loss in trading commodities can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition.
The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in commodity trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains. Managed commodity accounts are subject to substantial charges for management and advisory fees. It may be necessary for those accounts that are subject to these charges to make substantial trading profits to avoid depletion or exhaustion of their assets. This is not a solicitation to invest and you should carefully consider your financial situation as to the suitability to your situation prior to making any investment or entering into any transaction. Past performance is not indicative of future results, as returns may vary according to market conditions.
