Investment in JWH Master [Abstract] 
Investment in JWH Master
5.   Investment in JWH Master:
 
The Advisor trades a portion of the assets allocated to the Advisor directly, in accordance with the systematic JWH Diversified Plus Program. On January 2, 2008, 80% of the assets allocated to the Advisor for trading were invested in JWH Master, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of New York. The Partnership purchased 29,209.3894 units of JWH Master (each, a “Unit of Member Interest”) with cash equal to $39,540,753. JWH Master was formed in order to permit accounts managed by the Advisor using the Global Analytics Program, a proprietary, systematic trading system, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner is also the managing member of the JWH Master. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by the Advisor, including the Partnership, are permitted to be non-managing members of JWH Master. The General Partner and the Advisor believe that trading through this structure promotes efficiency and economy in the trading process. Expenses to investors as a result of the investment in JWH Master are approximately the same and redemptions rights are not affected.
 
The General Partner is not aware of any material changes to the trading program discussed above during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011.
 
JWH Master’s trading of futures and forward contracts, if applicable, on commodities is done primarily on U.S. commodity exchanges and foreign commodity exchanges. JWH Master engages in such trading through commodity brokerage accounts maintained by CGM.
 
A non-managing member may withdraw all or part of its redeemable capital contributions and undistributed profits, if any, from JWH Master in multiples of the net asset value per Unit of Member Interest as of the end of any day (the “Redemption Date”), after a request for redemption has been made to the General Partner at least three days in advance of the Redemption date. The Unit of Member Interest is classified as a liability when the non-managing member elects to redeem and informs JWH Master.
 
Management and incentive fees are charged at the Partnership level. All exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage, and National Futures Association fees (collectively, the “clearing fees”) are borne by the Partnership and through its investment in JWH Master. All other fees including CGM’s direct brokerage fees are charged at the Partnership level.
 
At September 30, 2011, the Partnership owned approximately 78.7% of JWH Master. At December 31, 2010, the Partnership owned approximately 78.7% of JWH Master. The Partnership intends to continue to invest a portion of its assets in JWH Master. The performance of the Partnership is directly affected by the performance of JWH Master.

     JWH Master considers prices for exchange-traded commodity futures and forward contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The values of non-exchange-traded forward contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by broker-dealers that derive fair values for those assets from observable inputs (Level 2). As of and for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, JWH Master did not hold any derivative instruments for which market quotations were not readily available and which were priced by broker-dealers that derive fair values from those assets from observable inputs (Level 2) or that were priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of management’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).
