The Tape Reader LLC

The Tape Reader LLC is registered with the CFTC as a CTA and is a member of the NFA ID#0533183. We run a trend following model named ARA: Absolute Return Alpha « ARA » is a proprietary systematic managed futures and spot FX trading strategy which trades all four major futures asset classes: Commodities, FX, Interest Rates and Equity Indices. The strategy includes two complementary proprietary trend-driven trading models that work in tandem to identify opportunities across a diversified basket of the most liquid trading assets: The Trend Breakout Model – Buys or sells technical breakouts, thereby ensuring participation in every major trend. The Pullback Trend Model – Buys or sells short-term and / or intermediate-term pullbacks within the context of the major trend. With no long-term bias to any market, we trade short-term as well as intermediate-term corrections within the context of the longer-term trend, (along with trend-following breakouts) and are therefore uncorrelated to both “long only” investment strategies as well as traditional long-term trend following managed futures funds.
