TRADING BACKGROUND<br />

How many years of trading experience do the developer or strategy team have?<br />

21 years<br />

How did the developer or team get involved in trading? My Navy platoon buddy advised me to meet his<br />

brother after we returned from deployment. He traded stock options from a variety of 50 of the best<br />

volume traded companies available at that time. At the end of the next year, I learned to trade commodity<br />

futures and had the privilege to meet – who is still my teacher, mentor, and friend to this day – Larry<br />

Williams. Larry’s guidance early on catapulted my trading and learning curve, but most of all<br />

CONFIDENCE.<br />

What are the biggest strengths does the developer or strategy team have? My biggest strengths as a trader is<br />

being able to research my strategies to find trading parameters to accommodate what I learned early on in<br />

this business, and that is to take ALL TRADES with the trend. I have no problem “pulling the trigger”<br />

with my exclusive signals because every trade has history and statistics behind it.<br />

What are the biggest weaknesses? I have recently overcome my biggest w eakness I had as a trader which<br />

was “skipping” trades based on the recent volatility of the market – far. Most of he time there were no<br />

trades following high-volatility days, but when there were, I missed some good trades thinking I was<br />

“doing the right thing” by protecting equity. I’ll divulge how I accomplished this in comments below…<br />

What was a trading experience where the developer learned valuable lesson about the markets and yourself?<br />

19 years ago I took my biggest trading loss when I veered away from my trading plan. It should have been<br />

my biggest trading “win” to that date, but there were two of us trading one account. BIG MISTAKE.<br />

So I forced myself to do more research on my trading strategy and documented it on paper for reference<br />

(documenting your work in a journal is powerful some of you already know). When you write your rules<br />

down you tend to stick to them with better conviction I have reinforced my trading strategies based upon<br />

this lesson.<br />

What are the developers and teams trading expertise (Stocks, Futures, Forex, Options, ETF’s, etc.) I have<br />

been strictly trading commodity futures (and options) for 21 years now.<br />

How would the developer describe the trading style of your strategy (intraday, swing trading, long-term, trend)?<br />

The core of my trading style is trend-following, but I do not commit to any position for any longer than I<br />

have to, so I look to take advantage of the swings of the market as well – swing-trading. Finally, my trading<br />

style is more mechanically inclined with strict rules and parameters than discretionary in nature.<br />

TRADING STRATEGY<br />

CERTIFIED<br />

Is the system based on technical or fundamentals? My trend following trading strategy utilizes specific entry<br />

& exit signals based on price structure, market volatility, and trading psychology. Once a trade is placed<br />

and I am in the market, a protective “stop-loss” is automatically utilized. My trading strategy’s goal is to<br />

buy the dips and sell the rallies and to remain in the market as long as the market (and my position) is<br />

trading in the direction of the overall trend.<br />

What are the benefits of the trading strategy? Why would an investor choose the strategy/style over another?<br />

The benefits of this trading strategy, and why an investor/trader would choose my style is because if a<br />

market is trending, then chances are I will be in that market with a position. The only way to make money<br />

in the marketplace is to be in the market. Even when the market is experiencing high volatility, I have<br />

restructured my trading strategies to have a maximum dollar stop-loss, as well as target prices for EACH<br />

CONFIDENTIAL Page 2 of 4


Step 2<br />

4<br />

FarnsField Research, Inc.<br />

TRADE – allowing me to take the maximum number of trades and to be “in the market” with fear, or<br />

hesitation. I am trading according to the winning statistics I researched long ago.<br />

How many trades are made on average each per month? For the $25K portfolio of markets: 18-23 For the<br />

$50K portfolio of markets: 33-38<br />

What are the average non-compounded returns per year? For the $25K portfolio: 47% and for the $50K<br />

portfolio: 45% (based on actual fills reported by accommodating brokers and $10 “all in” round-turn<br />

commission rate).<br />

What is the average drawdown? For 13 years record (for ALL statistics below), the $25K portfolio: 10-12%<br />

For the $50K portfolio: 10-12%<br />

What was the biggest drawdown? For the $25K portfolio: $15,603 from December 2010 – September<br />

2011. For the $50K portfolio: $29,527 from December 2010 – August 2011.<br />

What is the stop loss for each trade? It varies with each market and with each individual trade on a daily<br />

basis, but each market has a maximum dollar stop loss to prevent unforeseable “runaway” trades.<br />

What is the ratio of winners to losers?<br />

For the $25K portfolio: 47% accuracy with a 1.5 profit loss ratio<br />

$50K portfolio.<br />

which is exactly the same with the<br />

When does the strategy take profits on each trade? There are three ways, two of which can be objective: 1)<br />

when the mechanics of the trading strategy stop us out; ) when an “Ultimate Profit Objective” is reached.<br />

The third method requires on sight market supervision to visually “see” when a market is unable to hold<br />

its gains (when long), or a weak market making an unexpected come-back higher (when short) which only<br />

happens few and far between. These are the three ways.<br />

Does a trader/investor need to watch the market all day in order to trade the strategy? No, not at all. But if<br />

the trader/investor would like to be notified of any intra-day change in the trading plan, I am happy to<br />

add to my e-mail distribution list notifying of a change to the plan.<br />

TRADING ACCOUNT<br />

CERTIFIED<br />

What minimum trading account size does the developer recommend to effectively trade the system? There are<br />

two main trading strategies: the $25K & $50K suggested trading portfolios. This is the minimum<br />

suggested trading amount for both, and there are also variations of these two portfolios that denote the<br />

minimum amounts with the exception of the $10K & $15K portfolios – I would suggest $2,500 more<br />

minimum for these two.<br />

What are the developer’s thoughts on money management? Money management is the key to a successful<br />

trading experience with longevity. Money management must come first before all else. This is why each<br />

trade has specific parameters such as mandatory protective stops, a maximum dollar stop loss, as well as<br />

an ultimate target objective to anticipate when the markets become unexpectedly volatile.<br />

What is the maximum percent that the developer recommends exposing to risk on any single trade? As far as<br />

the maximum percent exposing on any single trade… this strategy is one of the few that is MORE<br />

conservative than using a straight percent as my peers. The mechanics of the actual trading strategy<br />

CONFIDENTIAL Page 3 of 4


Step 2 5<br />

FarnsField Research, Inc.<br />

require the market (price structure, volatility, and history) to determine where the risk is going to be at<br />

any given moment of the open trade.<br />

Is the developer willing to offer a guarantee? Yes, if the customer is not completely satisfied at the end of the<br />

subscription service-term – for any reason – I will invite the customer to continue trading with me in<br />

three-month increments until the subscription fee and a minimum 12% profit has been realized<br />

(excluding commissions). This is why the customer must negotiate with the variety of recommended<br />

brokers as low a commission rate as possible. I pay $10 per “all in” round-turn fee. For traders<br />

positioned with $25K accounts sizes or less, expect as low as $12-15 “all in” rates with some of<br />

recommended brokers.<br />

COMPETITION<br />

Which traders/websites are the developer’s main competitors? I only compete with my inner-psyche. I have<br />

learned others see me as their competition when I was a World Cup Advisor top-trader. <br />

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS (Farnsfield may want to utilize or republish for marketing purposes)<br />

Has the developer or team written any articles or reports that we may review? I have a World Cup Advisor<br />

website snapshot of my standing with them and their traders dated September 9 th 2009 you are welcome<br />

to use provided you block out my name and image (World Cup won like it, but they do not respect<br />

copyright laws anyway). You will see<br />

stock option program that was added a couple of<br />

months before this date. Investors needed a $150K minimum sized account in order to realize those<br />

profits - $35K with mine.<br />

Is there anything else that the developer would like to add? Before working with Farnsfield, I was a trader<br />

with a new program at World Cup Advisor. After the end of the first year, my $50K (they were allowing<br />

customers with $35K) portfolio climbed to the top and surpassed ALL OTHER TRADERS AND THEIR<br />

PROGRAMS DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR. My unique strategy stayed at the #1 position for the next 3.5 years<br />

and my only reason for leaving them was promotion of other traders programs when mine was in a<br />

drawdown phase. Even during these periods, no other trader surpassed my strategy’s cumulative profits.<br />

THANK YOU!<br />

Farnsfield appreciates that you took the time in completing this survey. Your input is critical to the success of<br />

our mutual partnership! We will review your survey and be back in touch in setting up another conversation<br />

within the next few weeks.<br />

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL, OR IS LIKELY TO, ACHIEVE PROFITS, OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. THERE IS A RISK OF LOSS IN ALL TRADING.<br />

"HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. 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<br />

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN<br />

ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING<br />

PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE<br />

FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS."
