Forecast uses short intermediate term positions to benefit from price movements in markets such as
natural resources, agricultural and consumer products. The trading program is diverse and invests in both
futures and option contracts. Options are frequently used to take advantage of intermediate term price
movements. Option contracts are predominately purchased (not sold), so that the level of risk is clearly
defined at the onset of the trade. There are two primary trading seasons, each encompassing specific
markets where weather is a key factor:
• Grain, coffee and cotton markets are traded May through August.
• Energy, complex and tangible commodities, such as orange juice, are traded between November and
March. This does not however, preclude trading these markets during other months.
The trading approach of Forecast relies substantially on weather maps, as well as technical analysis to
establish entry and exit points. The general time horizon for Forecast's investment style is short (0-5 days)
to medium-term (1 to 3 weeks), and occasionally 2 to 3 months.
