HOW THE STRATEGY WORKS

One coordinated process.

The options position and futures hedge are designed to be managed together rather than as isolated trades.

01Weekly Campaign

The strategy operates within a repeatable weekly framework.

02Options Writing

Short options create premium income potential and market exposure.

03Futures Hedge

A futures position helps manage changing directional exposure.

04Systematic Response

Predefined rules guide position changes as prices move.

OPTIONS WRITING

Premium is part of the strategy — not the whole strategy.

Selling options allows the writer to receive premium while accepting the obligations and risks of the contract.

When the underlying market moves significantly, directional exposure can increase. EP-AIM addresses that exposure through its futures component.

Why use a futures hedge?

The hedge is intended to change the strategy's directional exposure as market conditions change.

It is not a guarantee against loss, and the hedge itself can generate gains or losses.

SYSTEMATIC METHODOLOGY

Rules before emotion.

EP-AIM is not built around predicting every market move. It is built around deciding in advance how the strategy should respond when conditions change.

Create the process before the market forces a decision.

Risk Disclosure

Understand the complete relationship.

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment.

Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

Hypothetical trading does not involve actual financial risk and cannot fully account for the impact of market conditions, liquidity, execution, trading costs, financial pressure, or adherence to a trading strategy.

These factors can materially affect actual trading results.
