It is
ever eager to multiply when
opportunity presents itself.
Mutual Fund Managers would have you believe that a fool and his money are soon
parted. They “the wise” are paid large fees from your money to underperform.
They go around in their expensive suits and gold cuff links to impress their clients,
Swiss watches to convey the importance of their time, and other similar displays
designed to impress and intimidate their customers.. Ah the many splendored to-
tems of those who are paid too much to make too little. Your Money and future are
important that is why it is time you take your future into your own hands.

RISK MANAGEMENT
(2 STRATEGIES)
Wise investors are fully aware of the past pitfalls
and “Ponzy” schemes, bad investment decisions,
and lousy trade advice that occurred in the past
years on Wall Street. To address these concerns,
Lucid Financial has created an avenue for inves-
tors to control their money at all times while al-
lowing a professional trader to trade the funds.
Lucid has an Investor Qualification Process with
each client to ensure that the trade strategy
matches each individual’s current situation. We currently have three different trade
strategies in place to fit each and every client’s needs. These strategies do use pro-
tections like stop losses, hedging, and sub-accounts to fully protect your money from
large draw-downs. We feel these strategies best meet investors’ criteria for an effec-
tive balance of growth and risk.
“Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not
replace you as the driver. You must learn to take the wheel and get to
the destination of your desire.” Ayn Rand
STRATEGY 1: Correlation (FOREX)
This strategy is one of my favorite and uses Randomness to combat the random-
ness of the markets. Currency pairs move in correlation to one another which can
be used to make great gains. Correlation trading strategies are primarily preva-
lent in other financial markets but are rather unorthodox in FOREX. Lucid took
some of the basic theories and concepts of correlation trading and developed
strategies to cater to the FOREX markets that have attributed to success every
year.

WHY INVEST?
Why? To outperform! There’s no reason to invest in anything unless you believe
that by doing so you can out do the uneventful 5% in compounded growth you’ll
get via a mutual or pension fund. We do not think you’ll outperform the market
without taking matters into your own hands. The unfortunate thing, of course, is
that these are just the sorts of unstudied dice rolls that thousands of greenhorn
investors casually toss each year. All it takes for some is a few moments of
weakness on the line with a jelly-voiced broker. This isn’t investing, of course,
it’s gambling-an excellent long-term approach to losing money.
No one on the institutional side of the financial markets is going to suggest that
you can consistently outperform the markets without hard work and great effort.
Mutual funds and pension funds don’t generate high commissions by telling their
clients to take matters into their own hands. If you choose to go out on your own,
learn to take control of your own funds, and place them where you want to place
them, you will be able to enjoy the excitement that comes with watching your
funds outperform the markets day in and day out.
Percent Allocation Management Module (PAMM)
The Percent Allocation Management Module (PAMM) is a technical solution pro-
vided to Forex Clients and allowing them to have their accounts managed by a
trader appointed by them on the basis of a limited trading power of attorney.
PAMM solution allows the trader (Lucid) on one trading platform to manage simul-
taneously unlimited quantity of managed accounts. Depending on the size of the
deposit each managed account has its own ratio in PAMM. Total sum of all ratios
under one PAMM account is always equal to 100%. By using this system the client
has total control over their funds and has the ability to block trading activity any-
time.

(PAMM)
35% Performance
FEE
Investor opens an account with FXCM (the broker) and wires in funds to fund
their account
Lucid gains power of attorney from client to trade the funds in the account and
fee agreement is signed. This power of attorney only allows us to trade the funds.
Around the 25th of each month the 35% trading fee is pulled. (Lucid Fund DOES
NOT share in profit until the investor has a profit. We are paid on gains only
which are calculated on a monthly basis)
Clients have total access to their accounts thus providing them with the maximum
amount of control. The Client can close out the account, check daily balances and
trades, take profits, pull cash out, or change investment strategies.
PERFORMANCE HISTORY
Although Lucid did not come into the FOREX markets until 2006. Our Traders have
been involved with FOREX since 2002. The Correlation Fund is our most prominent
Fund and has experienced exceptional growth. Past Results do not indicate future
performance and although we have had and exceptional return we want to remind
everyone that FOREX may not be suitable for all investors. When the markets
crashed in August 2008 we experienced our biggest draw down, but we were able to
recover by years end.
Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of
leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider
your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some
or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
Shaun came upon FOREX trading back when there was very little information avail-
able and very few brokers for that matter. He dabbled in trading part time believing
there was incredible potential with the right approach. After several months of trad-
ing he met with a business associate and friend who was a trader with a national bank
in Canada. Shaun began to study and learn about the methodology and trading tech-
niques that this bank used pertaining to the FOREX market. This is where the Corre-
lation trading style and technique took root.
He traded for a few years with his money and a couple of individuals until his talent
was discovered in 2004 when he returned a whopping 1300%. Thereafter Shaun
brought on more funds and was often times contracted out by large managed accounts
to help steer them out of large draw downs with the Correlation technique.
WHAT IS FOREX?
If you’ve travelled to another country, you probably had to exchange your “native”
currency for that of the country you were visiting. Typically, one currency does not
have an equal exchange rate value to another. Whenever you convert currencies, one
is weaker (has less value) while the other is stronger (has more value). In FOREX
trading, you can take advantage of this difference by trading currency pairs. For ex-
ample, you might buy one currency, such as the EURO, while simultaneously selling
your DOLLARS. As the value of these currencies changes in response to news and
other events throughout the day, you can find profit potential in those exchange rate
differences. Unlike other financial markets like the New York Stock Exchange, the
FOREX spot market has neither a physical location nor a central exchange. The
FOREX market is considered an Over-the-Counter (OTC) or 'Interbank' market, due
to the fact that the entire market is run electroni-
cally, within a network of banks, continuously
over a 24-hour period.
GAINS
Just like you can expect a drawdown you can expect large equity gains in your ac-
count. Gains can be just as much of a problem for clients as a drawdown can be.
Some clients, will deposit funds and have an immediate 20% month gain on their
equity. They will feel like they have arrived at the city of Richistan and life has now
provided them with a luxury of wealth. Many of you
might have the tendency to go out and spend the
money even though it is just a paper gain DON’T!
Do all that you can to let things grow and compound
over the next few months. Once you get the feel for
how we trade and you see what goes on with the
accounts feel free to pull the profits and spend them
however you would like. We just feel it is our duty
to warn you against all emotions. They are part of
trading and are the cause of so many lost fortunes.
Q. Can I withdraw my funds or does it have to sit there for a certain period of time?
A. You can withdraw your funds at any time we do not have restrictions or control
over your funds. However we do recommend that you wait until the account is
flat.
The forex, stock market, and options market, while volatile, has provided and will
continue to provide the best annual returns of any investment vehicle, by a large mar-
gin. That's because it will always offer investors the best, most liquid opportunities at
capitalizing on the greatest business growth opportunities available in the known gal-
axy. Taking advantage of these situations and committing yourself to long-term pros-
perity, come hell or high water in the near term—all of these will contribute to the
great financial and emotional reward associated with taking matters into your own
hands and becoming investors with Lucid
