What is our Edge?
   Trend-predicting trading system adapts & responds to markets like a highly experienced human trader: Core
    trading strategies are enhanced by quantitative methods and predictive models that navigate short and medium-
    term trading opportunities.
   Predictive technology & accuracy enhancements: A cycle based predictive overlay is employed which quite
    accurately forecasts trends and changes-in-trend 5-50 bars (market days) into the future. This improvement was
    implemented Nov 28, 2004, and has greatly enhanced entry filtering and profit targets. RESULTS: peak volatility was
    reduced by 70% for 2005, in a similar market environment to 2004. In November 2006, several new signals we
    implemented along with a new order management strategy. RESULTS: reduced maximum draw down to 3.22% over
    the past two years of trading.
   Multi-strategy system increases market opportunities while reducing risk: Four powerful trading strategies
    within one investment program: Swing, Trend & Trend-Exhaustion strategies, and Range Bound strategies. (Most
    systematic traders simply optimize numerous traditional indicators within in a single trading strategy.)
   Highly responsive in virtually any market environment: System often generates entry orders 1 to 3 price bars
    (daily & 240 minute data) after major & intermediate tops or bottoms due to the directional accuracy of the predictive
    algorithm and the responsive strategy triggers, thus reducing response time to changes in market direction as well as
    stop loss amount—initial risk—on each trade, thereby typically increasing risk adjusted performance.
   Accurate profit targets define profit potential before each trade: Each entry order has at least one corresponding
    predetermined yet adaptable profit target. 
   Portfolio of 20-40 markets is organized into 4 to 8 geo-political sectors enhance diversification for increased
    account safety:
   Signal ranking provides best choice among similar markets: Proprietary selection process used when there are
    competing entry signals within each sector and between correlated markets (used with some discretion).
   Risk controls: Stops are moved to breakeven very quickly. Then, “Best Available Stop Strategy” utilizes multiple
    stage trailing stop algorithms to reduce risk and enhance profits by switching algorithms based on time in a trade and
    market price in relation to its profit targets and other factors.
   Robust system: The system's self-adapting core model uses the same fixed parameter rules and proprietary
    indicators across all markets and currency pairs. System was originally cross tested on commodities, stocks, and
    financial futures with similar with success.
   Highly experienced management: Principal has 20+ years of trading and market experience; 3 well known
7   consultants work with MCM
GDFX Portfolio: 20-40+ Currencies
     Trades are selected from 20-40+ global cash Forex currencies from six or more
     foreign trade regions or Geo-political Sectors. Each country or region offers unique
     currency pairs determined by their dominant merchandise trading partners.
     The portfolio is currently made up of the following:

         European (EUR/USD,GBP/USD,EUR/CHF,EUR/GBP,GBP/CHF,USD/CHF)
         European (additional markets pending)
         Canadian (USD/CAD,EUR/CAD, GBP/CAD, AUD/CAD,NZD/CAD)
         Japan (USD/JPY,EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, CHF/JPY,CAD/JPY,AUD/JPY,NZD/JPY)
         Asia (USD/SGD) (China, once un-pegged to the USD)
         Australia region (AUD/USD,EUR/AUD, GBP/AUD,AUD/CHF,NZD/USD,NZD/EUR)
         Africa (USD/ZAR-South African Rand-pending)
         South America (USD/BRL—Brazilian Real-pending)
         Gold (cash gold is available at some clearing firms (FCMs)—as a hard currency)

    When multiple entry signals are generated on a given day, at least one market from each “geo-sector”
    would be a potential candidate for trade selection that day. Trade candidates are typically currencies
    with the highest profit-target to initial risk ratios, and/or they have a relatively high statistical probability
    of generating a profitable trade when compared to competing signals within the same or
    correlated sectors. The best performing currencies historically tend to receive more new trades.

    This proprietary selection technique is one of the creative hallmarks that we use in an attempt
    to increase the portfolio’s return possibilities while concurrently trying to reduce draw-downs
    that are intrinsic to any free market investment.

Trend-Predicting Forex Systems
    Muti-Strat is a non-traditional, multi-strategy program using linear and non-linear forecasts to assist core
    technical signals similar to those used by a highly experienced human trader, NOT some random
    computer optimization. Thus, Multi-Strat is quite adaptive across all markets. Based on technical analysis
    of the markets, it analyzes 20-40+ currencies from 6 or more geo-sectors to determine if a relatively high
    confidence trend is beginning, currently underway & likely to continue or, likely about to reverse. On Nov.
    28th, 2004, the firm implemented the cycle based “predictive overlay” which reduced peak volatility by
    70% in 2005. In October 2006, several new trading signals were added along with a new unique order
    management process which helped reduced maximum drawdown to 3.22% over the past two years of
    trading.
    When a trade setup entry signal is generated, various cycles and price-volume statistics are examined to
    determine if the signal is compatible with the dominate trend, cycle projections, price/volume force and
    range of movement forecasts.

          Short-Term Swing Trades (pullbacks within a trend): Multi-Strat screens for qualified pullbacks /
           retracements within the trend to buy or sell into, but only after the market starts back in the direction
           of the calculated trend. Thus, pullback entries still require a small breakout.

          Medium-Trend Breakouts (without a qualified setback): Multi-Strat screens for significant support
           or resistant patterns to breakout from, and usually in the direction of the dominant cycle projected
           trend unless also a Trend Exhaustion trade setup (below).

          Exhaustion Trades (counter-trend trades): Occur at certain times when a trend’s momentum has
           slowed, as shown by our Price-Volume-Ranking or Cycle-Projected-Trend. Meaning: tradable
           change-in-trend (CIT) is probable.

     Bottom line: The model’s dynamic formulas adapt to recent price behavior. The predictive-overlay
     attempts to predict the likely future path of a market and its expected range of movement, along with other
     formulas, to help determine the profit targets and to approve or disapprove of trades. Combining these
     components and a dose of extensive human experience creates our superior reward to risk ratios and raw
9
     performance in various market conditions.
Stringent Risk Management
          Each currency is systematically “micro managed” using dynamic risk controls that
          generate initial protective stops, breakeven & trailing stops and profit targets, all
            known before entry, contingent upon entry. They are self-adjusting based on
                             volatility, volume and/or cycle characteristics.
          EXIT MANAGEMENT is a highly important function and occurs in one of five ways:

     1.    Initial protective stop loss—Mitigates each trade’s initial risk exposure, if signal is wrong
     2.    Breakeven stop--Moves initial stop loss to entry price very quickly, relative to our peers
     3.    Trailing stops – 3 separate algorithms reduce initial trade exposure, then lock in profits
     4.    Profit target —Helps capitalize on rapid price movement that might not otherwise be
           realized, because markets can quickly return to previous levels. Example: Off target
           economic reports, unexpected political events and disasters.
     5.    Stop and reverse — Exit a market position and simultaneously enter a new position in the
           opposite direction.

      HOW THIS WORKS: Initial protective stops helps control initial trade risk & allows us to
      calculate total theoretical portfolio risk (VaR). If a trade moves in the anticipated direction by a
      specific mathematical ratio, a breakeven stop kicks in to reduce trade risk to zero (plus any
      slippage). If movement continues, a trailing stop order is generated that takes over from the
      breakeven stop and follows the price action to lock in profits. Further movement may reach one
      of several profit targets. Conversely, if a market does not move in the anticipated direction, the
      position will be stopped out with a loss, as a normal part of doing business. Finally, at certain
      times a stop loss or trailing stop is placed simultaneously as a new entry order in the opposite
      direction. In this case, the protective stop would also be called a “stop and reverse” entry.

Additional Risk Management Controls
         Money management— the Optimal Contract System:
          The Optimal Contract System (OTS) is a three tiered money management overlay
          that makes recommendations to add to or reduce trading position size based on
          equity growth (or decreases), market volatility and system performance in order to
          increase growth opportunities or reduce market risk exposure. OTS is used with
          discretion as we tend to lean on the conservative side in the application of the
          various money management suggestions provided by OTS.

         Leverage—Margin deposit usage - Margin to Equity Ratio:
          The percentage of the fund that will be allocated toward margin deposits for
          trading purposes is typically between 5% to 20% of total account value (20% =
          maximum margin deposits). That means that typically between 80% to 95% of the
          Fund’s total value is typically held in cash or cash equivalent reserves.

          Raw leverage will typically range from less than 1:1 to usually 2 to 3:1, but no
          more than 10:1, a level rarely used but reserved if markets ever warranted it.

         Average Trade Risk:
          The average risk per trade / per market, for fully funded accounts, is typically
          between 0.5% to 2% of account value. Winning trades typically last 2 to 12 days,
          but one trade lasted 45 days. Winning trades are structured to last longer and
          make more money per trade than losing trades, yet there are no guarantees this
          will always be the case.

Why Invest in Foreign Exchange?
     The account or fund gives individual investors access to a market
     that has been dominated by multinational banks and corporations
     for decades. This is a market that many of the world’s largest banks,
     money managers and traders consider to be one of the finest
     markets available for trading and money management opportunities.
      Why?
         The Forex market is the direct pathway to capitalize on countries or regions perceived
          strengths or weaknesses as well as interest rate differentials.

         Currencies are also known for maintaining strong trend characteristics in both up and
          down markets, through wars, inflation and recessions.

         Forex offers the ability to leverage one’s assets. Unlike most stocks traded on U.S.
          exchanges that require an up-tick in price in order to sell short, Forex trading rules
          make selling short as easy as buying.

         There are virtually no price gaps with the exception of weekends, as Forex is traded 24
          hours per day, generally from Sundays at 5:00 pm Eastern time until Friday at 5:00 pm
          Eastern time.

         Due to Forex's unparalleled liquidity, trade execution slippage tends to be less of an
          issue for large traders when compared to most other markets.

       both areas, often mapping out time, price and wave structure years into the future.


     • March 16, 2009, Mansfield Mapped out the explosive SP500 rally, in terms of time, price and wave structure, then next crash
     (see charts below). As of 11/09/09, the market is at Schiff Median line resistance again. Could very well stop here (with
     bottom in USD, but there remains one higher target (see charts below).

     • November 2007, during a live recorded speech in Minnesota, stating that US stocks had likely topped and would crash,
     ultimately taking stocks down at least 50% to 70% and perhaps as low as 90% down, like the 1933 low in the Dow. Cycle
     turning points are expected in 2011-4, 2016, 2023.

     • In 2004 when Crude Oil was $37bl, and again in August 2005, at $58bl, he publish that Crude Oil would trade at $90-$100 or
     higher and showed future wave structure.

     • In 2005, webinars and many speeches, stated that global real estate would crash and then the world would experience a
     global depression (still on its way).

     •In August 2004, he published the US Dollar Market MAP forecast 4 years into the future showing an expected low in early
     2005, then an anticipated Wave 2 rally, then the USD's expected Wave 3 low in 2008. Right on the money.

     • In July 2003, published on Internet and in many speeches, showed, how gold, then around $375/oz, would top between
     $750-1400/oz or higher, have intermediate top in 2008-2009, then major top in 2012, when its 8 year high to high cycle top is
     due.

     • In his 2001 Techonometrics Research Special Report, Mike called a large additional sell off in the NYSE on August 4, 2001,
     with a low in the latter part of 2002 (low was 10/10/2002).

     • June 2002, called for long-term dollar weakness, further crash in US stocks, and major rally in gold, during a radio
     interview with Winning on Wall Street Radio Show.

     • July 1982- Feb 1983, Noticing a 4 week up 3 week down cycle progression and perfect Elliott Wave structure developing,
     Mike was able to ride the 1982-83, 200% increase in silver then exit 99% of his brokerage clients at the exact 3-day triple top
     in February 1983. Three weeks later silver collapsed 30%.

MultiStrat system example on EUR/USD, with automated (pink)
   and manually drawn (red and green) forecasts, 2009-1015,
1:47AM EST. Calling for intermediate top around 1.5010 to 1.52,
then likely sharp sell off to 1.42 or lower, if Andrews Median line
                                holds.
MultiStrat system on SP500, with automated (pink) and manually drawn (red and
green) forecasts, 2009-0831. At that time, sys was long SP at potential resistance,
but auto-forecast was higher. Now, 2009-1015. the SP500 is at CYAN Schiff Line
 target; weekly auto-forecasts says lower, daily says a bit higher, possibly Median
          Line (but cyan Schiff Line may hold), then sharp sell off. MCM
DOW forecast, 2009-0328. Mike Mansfield called the big move up
and also drew out the time and price wave for top then next crash.

forecasts shown were made public during seminars and webinars. Many
       are recorded and available. MansfieldCapital@Gmail.com
GOLD forecast, 2005-0823. Mansfield suggested pullback then explosive rally in
gold, likely having an intermediate high in 2008-09, then 8 year cycle top in 2012. All

  • 7. What is our Edge?  Trend-predicting trading system adapts & responds to markets like a highly experienced human trader: Core trading strategies are enhanced by quantitative methods and predictive models that navigate short and medium- term trading opportunities.  Predictive technology & accuracy enhancements: A cycle based predictive overlay is employed which quite accurately forecasts trends and changes-in-trend 5-50 bars (market days) into the future. This improvement was implemented Nov 28, 2004, and has greatly enhanced entry filtering and profit targets. RESULTS: peak volatility was reduced by 70% for 2005, in a similar market environment to 2004. In November 2006, several new signals we implemented along with a new order management strategy. RESULTS: reduced maximum draw down to 3.22% over the past two years of trading.  Multi-strategy system increases market opportunities while reducing risk: Four powerful trading strategies within one investment program: Swing, Trend & Trend-Exhaustion strategies, and Range Bound strategies. (Most systematic traders simply optimize numerous traditional indicators within in a single trading strategy.)  Highly responsive in virtually any market environment: System often generates entry orders 1 to 3 price bars (daily & 240 minute data) after major & intermediate tops or bottoms due to the directional accuracy of the predictive algorithm and the responsive strategy triggers, thus reducing response time to changes in market direction as well as stop loss amount—initial risk—on each trade, thereby typically increasing risk adjusted performance.  Accurate profit targets define profit potential before each trade: Each entry order has at least one corresponding predetermined yet adaptable profit target.   Portfolio of 20-40 markets is organized into 4 to 8 geo-political sectors enhance diversification for increased account safety:  Signal ranking provides best choice among similar markets: Proprietary selection process used when there are competing entry signals within each sector and between correlated markets (used with some discretion).  Risk controls: Stops are moved to breakeven very quickly. Then, “Best Available Stop Strategy” utilizes multiple stage trailing stop algorithms to reduce risk and enhance profits by switching algorithms based on time in a trade and market price in relation to its profit targets and other factors.  Robust system: The system's self-adapting core model uses the same fixed parameter rules and proprietary indicators across all markets and currency pairs. System was originally cross tested on commodities, stocks, and financial futures with similar with success.  Highly experienced management: Principal has 20+ years of trading and market experience; 3 well known 7 consultants work with MCM
  • 8. GDFX Portfolio: 20-40+ Currencies Trades are selected from 20-40+ global cash Forex currencies from six or more foreign trade regions or Geo-political Sectors. Each country or region offers unique currency pairs determined by their dominant merchandise trading partners. The portfolio is currently made up of the following:  European (EUR/USD,GBP/USD,EUR/CHF,EUR/GBP,GBP/CHF,USD/CHF)  European (additional markets pending)  Canadian (USD/CAD,EUR/CAD, GBP/CAD, AUD/CAD,NZD/CAD)  Japan (USD/JPY,EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, CHF/JPY,CAD/JPY,AUD/JPY,NZD/JPY)  Asia (USD/SGD) (China, once un-pegged to the USD)  Australia region (AUD/USD,EUR/AUD, GBP/AUD,AUD/CHF,NZD/USD,NZD/EUR)  Africa (USD/ZAR-South African Rand-pending)  South America (USD/BRL—Brazilian Real-pending)  Gold (cash gold is available at some clearing firms (FCMs)—as a hard currency) When multiple entry signals are generated on a given day, at least one market from each “geo-sector” would be a potential candidate for trade selection that day. Trade candidates are typically currencies with the highest profit-target to initial risk ratios, and/or they have a relatively high statistical probability of generating a profitable trade when compared to competing signals within the same or correlated sectors. The best performing currencies historically tend to receive more new trades. This proprietary selection technique is one of the creative hallmarks that we use in an attempt to increase the portfolio’s return possibilities while concurrently trying to reduce draw-downs that are intrinsic to any free market investment. 8
  • 9. Trend-Predicting Forex Systems Muti-Strat is a non-traditional, multi-strategy program using linear and non-linear forecasts to assist core technical signals similar to those used by a highly experienced human trader, NOT some random computer optimization. Thus, Multi-Strat is quite adaptive across all markets. Based on technical analysis of the markets, it analyzes 20-40+ currencies from 6 or more geo-sectors to determine if a relatively high confidence trend is beginning, currently underway & likely to continue or, likely about to reverse. On Nov. 28th, 2004, the firm implemented the cycle based “predictive overlay” which reduced peak volatility by 70% in 2005. In October 2006, several new trading signals were added along with a new unique order management process which helped reduced maximum drawdown to 3.22% over the past two years of trading. When a trade setup entry signal is generated, various cycles and price-volume statistics are examined to determine if the signal is compatible with the dominate trend, cycle projections, price/volume force and range of movement forecasts.  Short-Term Swing Trades (pullbacks within a trend): Multi-Strat screens for qualified pullbacks / retracements within the trend to buy or sell into, but only after the market starts back in the direction of the calculated trend. Thus, pullback entries still require a small breakout.  Medium-Trend Breakouts (without a qualified setback): Multi-Strat screens for significant support or resistant patterns to breakout from, and usually in the direction of the dominant cycle projected trend unless also a Trend Exhaustion trade setup (below).  Exhaustion Trades (counter-trend trades): Occur at certain times when a trend’s momentum has slowed, as shown by our Price-Volume-Ranking or Cycle-Projected-Trend. Meaning: tradable change-in-trend (CIT) is probable. Bottom line: The model’s dynamic formulas adapt to recent price behavior. The predictive-overlay attempts to predict the likely future path of a market and its expected range of movement, along with other formulas, to help determine the profit targets and to approve or disapprove of trades. Combining these components and a dose of extensive human experience creates our superior reward to risk ratios and raw 9 performance in various market conditions.
  • 10. Stringent Risk Management Each currency is systematically “micro managed” using dynamic risk controls that generate initial protective stops, breakeven & trailing stops and profit targets, all known before entry, contingent upon entry. They are self-adjusting based on volatility, volume and/or cycle characteristics. EXIT MANAGEMENT is a highly important function and occurs in one of five ways: 1. Initial protective stop loss—Mitigates each trade’s initial risk exposure, if signal is wrong 2. Breakeven stop--Moves initial stop loss to entry price very quickly, relative to our peers 3. Trailing stops – 3 separate algorithms reduce initial trade exposure, then lock in profits 4. Profit target —Helps capitalize on rapid price movement that might not otherwise be realized, because markets can quickly return to previous levels. Example: Off target economic reports, unexpected political events and disasters. 5. Stop and reverse — Exit a market position and simultaneously enter a new position in the opposite direction. HOW THIS WORKS: Initial protective stops helps control initial trade risk & allows us to calculate total theoretical portfolio risk (VaR). If a trade moves in the anticipated direction by a specific mathematical ratio, a breakeven stop kicks in to reduce trade risk to zero (plus any slippage). If movement continues, a trailing stop order is generated that takes over from the breakeven stop and follows the price action to lock in profits. Further movement may reach one of several profit targets. Conversely, if a market does not move in the anticipated direction, the position will be stopped out with a loss, as a normal part of doing business. Finally, at certain times a stop loss or trailing stop is placed simultaneously as a new entry order in the opposite direction. In this case, the protective stop would also be called a “stop and reverse” entry. 10
  • 11. Additional Risk Management Controls  Money management— the Optimal Contract System: The Optimal Contract System (OTS) is a three tiered money management overlay that makes recommendations to add to or reduce trading position size based on equity growth (or decreases), market volatility and system performance in order to increase growth opportunities or reduce market risk exposure. OTS is used with discretion as we tend to lean on the conservative side in the application of the various money management suggestions provided by OTS.  Leverage—Margin deposit usage - Margin to Equity Ratio: The percentage of the fund that will be allocated toward margin deposits for trading purposes is typically between 5% to 20% of total account value (20% = maximum margin deposits). That means that typically between 80% to 95% of the Fund’s total value is typically held in cash or cash equivalent reserves. Raw leverage will typically range from less than 1:1 to usually 2 to 3:1, but no more than 10:1, a level rarely used but reserved if markets ever warranted it.  Average Trade Risk: The average risk per trade / per market, for fully funded accounts, is typically between 0.5% to 2% of account value. Winning trades typically last 2 to 12 days, but one trade lasted 45 days. Winning trades are structured to last longer and make more money per trade than losing trades, yet there are no guarantees this will always be the case. 11
  • 12. Why Invest in Foreign Exchange? The account or fund gives individual investors access to a market that has been dominated by multinational banks and corporations for decades. This is a market that many of the world’s largest banks, money managers and traders consider to be one of the finest markets available for trading and money management opportunities. Why?  The Forex market is the direct pathway to capitalize on countries or regions perceived strengths or weaknesses as well as interest rate differentials.  Currencies are also known for maintaining strong trend characteristics in both up and down markets, through wars, inflation and recessions.  Forex offers the ability to leverage one’s assets. Unlike most stocks traded on U.S. exchanges that require an up-tick in price in order to sell short, Forex trading rules make selling short as easy as buying.  There are virtually no price gaps with the exception of weekends, as Forex is traded 24 hours per day, generally from Sundays at 5:00 pm Eastern time until Friday at 5:00 pm Eastern time.  Due to Forex's unparalleled liquidity, trade execution slippage tends to be less of an issue for large traders when compared to most other markets. 12
