Once your account is setup and funded at ProFunds , BTI will assume responsibility of managing your account. Our investment decisions are strictly based upon our advanced systems that monitor trends in two of the major market indexes: The S&P 500, and the NASDAQ 100.

Each index is traded independently; therefore we will place 50% of your assets into each index strategy. This is accomplished by allocating your money into the appropriate fund to take advantage of the forecasted trend in a particular index.

About the ProFunds We Trade

There are two general types of ProFunds that are utilized: Bullish ProFunds, and Bearish ProFunds. As the name implies, Bullish ProFunds have the objective of gaining value when the underlying index they are tracking is also gaining in value. Bearish ProFunds seek exactly the opposite; they move inversely to the index they are tracking. For example, if the S&P 500 Index loses 1% today, then the Bearish ProFunds will seek to produce gains of 1%.

Bullish ProFunds - Long Positions

• ProFunds UltraBull: Purchased when our system identifies an upward trend in the S&P 500 Index. This fund seeks daily investment results that correspond to twice (200%) the daily performance of the S&P 500 Index.
• ProFunds UltraOTC: Purchased when our system identifies an upward trend in the NASDAQ 100 Index. This fund seeks daily investment results that correspond to twice (200%) the daily performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index.

Bearish ProFunds - Short Positions

• ProFunds UltraBear: Purchased when our system identifies a downward trend on the S&P 500 Index. This fund seeks daily investment results that correspond to twice (200%) the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of the S&P 500 Index.  
• ProFunds UltraShortOTC: Purchased when our system identifies a downward trend in the NASDAQ 100 Index. Seeks daily investment results that correspond to twice (200%) the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index.

Neutral ProFund - Money Market / Cash Positions

• ProFunds Money Market: If our system reaches an unacceptable level of loss, we will sell out of that position, and move assets into a money market position until we reconfirm a trend. Historically the stop/loss trigger has been in the range of 3% to 10%. It is adjusted periodically to account for changing volatility in the stock market.

BrainTrader Investments is an independent Registered Investment Advisor and is not affiliated with ProFunds. As is the case for any investment, the advisor cannot guarantee future performance and there can be no certainty that the investment objectives of the strategy can be achieved. An investment in the strategy is a high-risk investment. Investors may lose a substantial portion or all of the money they invest in the strategy, which is suited only to sophisticated investors who can afford the risk involved. Only capital that the investor can afford to lose should be invested in a strategy of this nature, and investors are recommended to consult with their tax professional before investing in the strategy.
