Trading Methodology - Data Management - Trade Decisions - Trade Desk Operations - Trade/Position Tracking  “Technical Analysis” The theory that market prices repeat similar patterns over time.  “Systems Trading” Trading based on computer systems that identify trends across a broad range of markets to provide buy and sell signals to trade instruments in these markets in an attempt to profit from the price trends.  Proprietary Systems Trading Methodology Developed by Bartholomew P. Bacon utilizing pattern recognition techniques (including Elliott Wave Theory), moving averages and volatility statistics.  Sophisticated, Autonomous Trading Highlighted by automated:

© Copyright Dolphin Capital Management Ltd. All rights reserved internationally. Trading Systems  System 25 - long-term trend following system.  System 55 - medium-term trend following system, excludes grains and cotton.  System 54 - medium-term trend following system, includes grains and cotton.  Incorporates an “add on” feature that gradually adds to a given position consistent with a profitable trend.  Systems 25, 55 and 54 are applied to almost all of the markets in the portfolio at all times.  The medium-term (55 and 54) and long-term (25) systems are designed to work together.  System 16 – infrequently traded cyclical pattern recognition system that attempts to profit from major bear markets in stock indices only.

© Copyright Dolphin Capital Management Ltd. All rights reserved internationally. External Variables  Open, High, Low and Close price information is the main data input used by the systems.  Cash currency interest rates and forward points are used for currencies.  Foreign exchange rates are utilized for non-U.S. futures instruments.

© Copyright Dolphin Capital Management Ltd. All rights reserved internationally. System Characteristics  Can be “flat” – no position in market.  Entry stops are far away from market  No order generated by the system.  Long-term and medium-term systems can take opposite positions, resulting in a very small net position.  The systems’ diversification, risk control, and trend-following techniques provide an expectation of profits whenever markets are trending over the medium and long term.  Conversely, if many markets are simultaneously displaying non-trending, choppy patterns, the system may generate losses.

© Copyright Dolphin Capital Management Ltd. All rights reserved internationally. Diversification & Risk Management  Diversified across an average of about 50 different markets every day, including currency, short interest rate, bond, stock index, precious metal, agricultural and energy instruments.  Risk between 0.1% and 0.6% of the total portfolio equity from entry price to stop loss on each trade.  Position size scaled based on correlation between markets.

© Copyright Dolphin Capital Management Ltd. All rights reserved internationally. Types of Instruments Traded  Futures contracts, cash and forward contracts, options on futures contracts and physical commodities, foreign exchange forwards contracts, and other financial instruments are traded the following underlying: Currencies Agriculturals Short-Term Interest Rates Soft Commodities Bonds Energies Stock Indices Precious Metals  Accordingly, given its commitment to research, DCMI may change the portfolios of its trading programs at any time to take advantage of trading any liquid market in the world.  Technical Analysis is a continuous process, and the challenge is to find algorithms and pattern recognition in a dynamic environment.

© Copyright Dolphin Capital Management Ltd. All rights reserved internationally. Discipline  Positions and trades are determined almost entirely by the algorithms of the systems.  Discretionary overrides occur infrequently, when either unusual risk or unusual opportunity is present in the markets.  Example of discretionary override - No short energy positions due to Crisis in the Middle East

© Copyright Dolphin Capital Management Ltd. All rights reserved internationally. Trade Entry  Systems generate entry signals based on pattern recognition and/or trend following.  System 16 enters positions mainly against the trend.  The trading algorithms not only calculate the entry point for a given position, but also the stop loss price before that position is entered, thereby allowing the system to determine how many contracts to trade in order to risk a defined amount of equity.  Systems 25, 54, and 55 enter positions only with the trend.

© Copyright Dolphin Capital Management Ltd. All rights reserved internationally. Trade Exit  System calculates an exit stop on every existing position every day and exit stops are resting in the market every minute the markets are open. 50% - On trailing stop prices, which move to lock in profit as the market is in a middle of a trend. 40% - On reversal prices, when the trend has reversed direction. 10% - On signal that trend has ended.  Losing positions are exited according to the stop loss price predetermined at entry by the system.  Winning positions are exited as follows:

© Copyright Dolphin Capital Management Ltd. All rights reserved internationally. Trade Execution  8 AM to 8 PM EST - Trading Desk watches the stops using alarms on market machines.  8 PM to 8 AM EST - Brokers and Dealers watch stops and have access to multiple DCMI traders every night.  When a stop is triggered, the Trading Desk immediately exercises discretion on how to execute the order at the best possible fill price.  Explicit Trading Rules emphasize limitation of risk and protection of capital as primary tenets.  Slippage - the difference between the system- generated stop price and the market fill price - is reviewed for each trade every day to monitor the quality of trade execution.

© Copyright Dolphin Capital Management Ltd. All rights reserved internationally. Your Decision to Invest  “Heart” of the systems derived from the principals and philosophies utilized by Mr. Bacon in the architecture and development – DISCIPLINE and RISK CONTROL  DISCIPLINE – to follow the systems algorithms with diligence and vigor  RISK CONTROL – to preserve the client’s capital via broad diversification and minimization of risk on any given market position. - Double-digit returns in 8 of the past 9 years in a non-correlated asset class.
