What are your concepts for Linn Hare & Huckabay?

“Diversifying risks by trading over several markets while simultaneously utilizing all the markets tools with total focus on maintaining initial equity. If I divulge more than that, I might jeopardize what I consider our trading advantage.”

How do you reduce risks and maximize returns as suggested in your promo?

“You try to find unique ways to let your profits run while gleaning small losses before they become big losses. Certain option or spread strategies offer opportunities to enjoy a bull or bear wave without the exposure and volatility of an outright futures or option position. This is where a broad understanding of the cash fundamentals and daily communication with a significant network of fundamental and technical traders is so important.”

How is Linn Hare & Huckabay different from other trading advisors?

“Diversity of trades with over 50% of trades non-directional in nature. Utilizing options and spreads within the mix to enhance and to protect positions. Placing the customer first – protecting that initial equity as an everyday focus.”

What is the key to being a successful CTA in these new volatile markets?

“You must enjoy the daily challenge of the marketplace and be willing to limit losses on any one trade to a fault. Trading strategies must now embrace a more volatile marketplace where the utilization of all the options and futures tools and concepts is necessary. And, you must limit overnight exposure attempting to reduce potential market surprises whenever possible.”

Any advice to young traders wanting to be a professional CTA?

“To young traders I would suggest understanding the technical side of the marketplace intimately and to not be naïve that there is any one system that can create the perfect signals. To old traders, particularly equity focused investors, I would suggest to immediately start diversifying your portfolio utilizing the new asset classes to reduce risk and potentially enhance opportunity.”
