FXCM (http://www.fxcm.com), one of the largest Forex Dealer Members, recently introduced two new managed programs: the Short-Term Opportunity Program and the Short-Term Opportunity Aggressive Program.

Both Short-Term Opportunity Programs utilize 4 different trading approaches:

• Short-Term range trading
• Short-Term breakout opportunities
• Long-Term trends
• Long-Term carry trading

The majority of the trades generated by these programs have short-term time horizons, while longer-term systems are used to stabilize the short-term volatility.

The aggressive program applies the same trading model as the Short-Term Opportunity Program, but with higher leverage. Performance should move in tandem with the Short-Term Opportunity Program, with higher gains and losses on a percentage basis.

FXCM added the Short-Term Programs to their already popular Sentiment and Sentiment Aggressive Managed Programs. Short-Term Opportunity Programs were designed to have low correlation with the Sentiment Programs.  Short-Term and Sentiment Programs won't necessarily move against each other, but should be independent. Investors are able to diversify their portfolios by investing in both programs.*

*Diversification among various accounts may smooth out your performance over time. It is more valuable to have smaller amounts among various accounts than to have a larger amount in only one. As market conditions change, various accounts will come into and out of profitability.
