APF Managed Forex Accounts:

APF Managed Forex Accounts Managed forex accounts are becoming an increasingly popular way of accessing the forex market for retail investors, who might not have the time or expertise to trade their own account. An investment in a managed forex account provides investors with the ability to profit from the currency market, having their account managed by a professional money manager, whilst at the same time having complete access to their fund, 24 hours a day.

Trading Strategies:

Trading Strategies APF Trading employs proprietary technical systematic trading strategies. The main strategy is a basket of independent technical-driven models. Having a basket of independent models improves the risk reward structure of the main strategy. Our models are driven primarily by Ichimoku Kinko Hyo , DeMark Indicators, Fibonnaci and Intermarket Quantitative Models. Capital preservation is key. We adhere to strict money management rules in all our trading. 1% or less of capital is risked per trade. We seek to generate positive absolute returns by trading in spot currencies (mainly G7 pairs), irrespective of prevailing market conditions.

The case for systematic trading in FX:

The case for systematic trading in FX In recent years, investor interest in systematic FX trading strategies rose markedly. We see this as perfectly rational as there are 3 reasons why currency markets are potentially more suited for systematic trading than other asset classes like stocks and bonds. 1) Currency trading decisions are a by-product of decisions made in other asset classes for most investors. Such includes currency overlay for stock institutional investors for example. Therefore FX markets typically lag movements in other asset classes generating potential for systematic predictability. 2) Currencies are uniquely suited to macro-economic cycles. One of the best known macroeconomic relationships are the highly pro-cyclical nature of the Australian dollar and the safe-haven characteristics of the Swiss Franc. 3) The currency market is highly liquid which makes systematic strategies scaleable while keeping execution costs under control

Performance Fee:

Performance Fee Our fee structure is similar to most managed futures and managed forex programs. APF Trading charges clients solely based upon the performance of the trading account. This means that if the investor does not see an increase in his investment, then APF Trading will not charge any fees either. Performance Fees (i.e. a share of the profits earned on the investment) are subjected to a 'high watermark'. We charge a performance fee of 20%. We do not charge an entry fee, set-up fee, or an annual management charge to our clients.

High Watermark Calculation:

High Watermark Calculation The implementation of a 'high watermark' means that APF Trading will only receive a Performance Fee when the value of a client's investment is greater than its previous greatest value. Should the value of the investment subsequently drop, we will only receive a Performance Fee again once the value of the investment has once again reached it's greatest value. the index is well in a bull trend.
