Invariant Futures

Commodity futures provide a path toward higher portfolio returns for market participants willing to accept more risk. They seem scary at first, but most newcomers come to realize that they are like driving on the freeway vs. taking surface streets: the action is faster, but if you stay in your lane and keep calm, the pace becomes normal and you arrive at your destination sooner.

Invariant Futures provides short-term timing research for commodity contracts initiating or extending price trends. Our research is easily implemented at authorized brokerages. We offer three bundles of three diversified contracts each -- Invariant E20, N20 and Y20 -- plus one bundle, A60, that includes all nine contracts.

Why consider adding futures to your portfolio mix? The opportunity for superior performance. It's pretty hard to meet your retirement goals with conventional investment strategies. You need a boost to turn savings into real wealth. Our job is to provide expert, active research that gives you a fighting chance with professional-grade research that mixes daring with prudence. Risk rewarded.

BACKSTORY

Accurate market timing demands both consistency and flexibility, a paradox our research attempts to solve. In math, "invariance" describes a property that remains unchanged when a transformation is applied to a formula. Likewise, our research adapts to changing conditions while adhering to an invariant central thesis, providing a bedrock of conviction for trades as they unfold.

Our tests and experience show that the E20, N20 and Y20 research bundles can make gains well in excess of the market over time, but at different paces that leapfrog each other. Position holding periods range from hours to days. Research-driven stops are provided and tightened frequently.

We do not offer brokerage services, so customers must engage a professional futures broker to manage their accounts under a "letter of direction." We provide a list of qualified brokers with experience at implementing our research, and regularly update customers on their progress. Our tests suggest a minimum portfolio size of $20,000 for each three-contract bundle is ideal, but members should determine the appropriate portfolio size after discussion with their broker.

Each three-contract research bundle costs $275/month, or $1,500/six months. Our tests indicate that subscribing to two to three bundles to diversify is ideal. The A60 bundle, our most popular, offers all nine contracts for six months at a discount. Ask your broker for performance details.

In summary, Invariant offers proactive, adaptive, practical futures research that can play an important role in investors' efforts to meet or exceed financial goals. Futures can be traded in an IRA account, and offer certain tax benefits over equities.

HOW TO START

We provide customers with a list of qualified futures brokers authorized to trade based on Invariant research. The brokers have different commission rates and personalities. After you choose one, they will send you a "letter of direction," or LOD, that allows them to trade your account based on Invariant research. You next fund the brokerage account, then visit the Invariant website to subscribe to one or more research programs. At that point, trading can commence.

NOTICE

Past results are no guarantee of future returns. All accounts may not achieve comparable results. Futures trading involves the risk of substantial loss. Although Invariant is systematic, it is also leveraged and speculative so only use risk capital -- i.e., money you can afford to lose.

Our research is largely governed by algorithms but human discretion is often applied. 

Each three-contract Invariant research bundle assumes a model portfolio size of $20,000. Reported returns are net of the cost of subscription and commissions and are not compounded.

Subscribers' accounts must be managed by approved professional brokers under letters of direction. This is an economical, hassle-free way to make sure research is handled accurately while also ensuring the integrity of the system. Invariant research only makes recommendations. Members control their brokerage positions.

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