Trend Strategies Program Description

This program is a mix of medium to long-term strategies focusing purely on market trends, by identifying extreme levels and shifts in market sentiment. Market sentiment, or how market participants are expecting a market to move, is captured through FXCM’s proprietary Speculative Sentiment Index (SSI), which shows the net positioning of FXCM’s overall client base. The Trend Strategies Program seeks to leverage this data, with the goal of predicting high probability moves in the market, and trading in the direction of those moves.

While the risk of loss still exists, this program is expected to perform well during trending market conditions.

Fee Structure

It is important to understand how the strategy you are invested in is compensated, so you can understand where the interests of the firm that is trading your money lie. It is our opinion that investors should be more wary of funds that earn money from commissions, or other transaction based sources. While not always a bad thing, this type of compensation model may increase the incentive for the money manager to trade to generate transactional revenue, rather than for the sole purpose of increasing account performance.

At Informed Funds, we charge what we consider to be the industry standard of 2 and 20, meaning a 2% yearly management fee and 20% of profits. In certain instances where we are compensated partially based on rebates or commissions, this will be clearly denoted on each client’s trading statement.

* Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. Please see our full risk disclosure here.
