Given that our current position is +400 Futures contracts, we generally believe that the market is moving up.  However, in the event that our forecasts are wrong, we prepared three alternate strategies for different possible market and volatility scenarios.
 
We researched and developed all of our positions using the market information from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange website.
