Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] | rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock | The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Funds portfolio turnover rate was 2,984% of the average value of its portfolio. |

Strategy [Heading] | rr_StrategyHeading | Principal Investment Strategies: |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | The Fund invests primarily in long and short positions in US Treasury bonds through a combination of (i) Underlying Funds linked to the performance of the current US Long Treasury Bond, (ii) exchange traded funds linked to the performance of various Treasury bonds, (iii) Treasury Bonds and (iv) Treasury bond futures and other derivatives. The Adviser believes that by applying systematic research (SR) and its multi-factor quantitative model, the strategy can produce returns in excess of buying and holding U.S. Long Treasury Bond mutual funds through various fixed income cycles (periods of rising and falling interest rates both on a shorter-term or long-term basis).
The Fund may invest in fixed income securities of U.S. companies, both directly and indirectly through mutual funds, including open-end funds (mutual funds), closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds (collectively, Underlying Funds). Exchange-traded funds or ETFs are registered investment companies that generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, such as the Standard & Poor's 500, or of a particular segment of the market such as an industry sector or geographic region. The Fund may invest in fixed income securities that are sometimes referred to as "high yield" or junk bonds. The Fund defines high yield bonds as those rated lower than Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") or lower than BBB- by Standard and Poor's Rating Group ("S&P ), or determined to be of similar quality by the Funds Adviser. Such securities are considered speculative investments that carry greater risk of default. The Fund may also hold U.S. Government securities or cash equivalents for collateralization obligations, to pay redemption requests or while pending investment. The Fund may invest in a wide range of instruments, markets and asset classes, including but not limited to U.S. and foreign equities (including equity securities of companies in developing countries or emerging markets), other types of investment companies and derivative investments such as futures and options. Derivative investments may be used by the adviser for hedging purposes or for speculative purposes. The Fund (or the Underlying Funds in which the Fund may invest) may sell securities short or leverage its assets through borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in any one issuer than a diversified fund.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in US Treasury bonds, corporate bonds or Underlying Funds which invest primarily in US Treasury or corporate bonds (80% Investment Policy). The Adviser utilizes its own proprietary research as well as the research of independent third parties such as statistical reporting organizations or signal providers to identify suitable investments for the Fund during various fixed income cycles. The strategy indicators that have varying weights are used to determine the Funds investment in Long Treasury Bond funds, ETFs, Treasury Bonds, futures contracts and derivatives on fixed income securities. Each indicator will generate a signal indicating a long or short position. The signals are blended to determine the appropriate investment. |

Risk [Heading] | rr_RiskHeading | Principal Investment Risks: |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk Narrative [Text Block] | rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock | As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Many factors affect the Funds net asset value and performance.
Derivatives Risk The Fund may use derivatives (including futures and options) to enhance returns or hedge against market declines. The Funds use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments.
Fixed Income Risk The value of the Fund's investments in fixed income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of bonds and bond funds owned by the Fund. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of the fixed income securities generally increases. Your investment will decline in value if the value of the Funds investments decreases.
Issuer-Specific Risk The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
Leveraging Risk The use of leverage, such as borrowing money to purchase securities, will magnify the Fund's gains or losses.
Management Style Risk The Adviser's judgments about the potential appreciation of a particular security in which the Fund invests or calls it writes may prove to be incorrect.
Non-Diversification Risk The Fund has a greater potential to realize losses upon the occurrence of adverse events affecting a particular issuer.
Portfolio Turnover Risk Portfolio turnover refers to the rate at which the securities held by the Fund are replaced. The higher the rate, the higher the transactional and brokerage costs associated with the turnover which may reduce the Funds return, unless the securities traded can be bought and sold without corresponding commission costs. Active trading of securities may also increase a Funds realized capital gains or losses, which may affect the taxes you pay as a Fund shareholder.
Short Position Risk The Fund may invest in short futures positions which will prevent the Fund from participating in market gains.
Short Selling Risk The Fund (and the Underlying Funds) may engage in short selling activities, which are more risky than "long" positions (purchases) because the cost of the replacement security or instrument is unknown.
Stock Market Risk Equity prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.
Underlying Funds Risk Mutual funds, closed-end funds and ETFs are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in other investment companies and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each other investment company and ETF is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the fund. |

The higher the rate, the higher the transactional and brokerage costs associated with the turnover which may reduce the Funds return, unless the securities traded can be bought and sold without corresponding commission costs. Active trading of securities may also increase a Funds realized capital gains or losses, which may affect the taxes you pay as a Fund shareholder.
Short Position Risk - The Fund may invest in short futures positions which will prevent the Fund from participating in market gains.
Short Selling Risk - The Fund (and the Underlying Funds) may engage in short selling activities, which are more risky than "long" positions (purchases) because the cost of the replacement security or instrument is unknown.
Stock Market Risk - Equity prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.
Underlying Funds - Mutual funds, closed-end funds and ETFs are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in other investment companies and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each other investment company and ETF is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the fund. |

Strategy [Heading] | rr_StrategyHeading | Principal Investment Strategies: |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | The Fund seeks to generate capital appreciation in rising and falling markets using two principal strategies:
Tactical Long Short Investment Strategy Fixed Income Investment Strategy
Using the tactical long short investment strategy, the Fund actively trades Standard &P Poor's 500 Index futures contracts. These futures contracts are used as a substitute for investing in the stocks that compose the S&P 500 Index. The objective is to generate capital appreciation by investing, long or short, in positions linked to the S&P 500 Index using a proprietary quantitative investment model. The model is designed to identify long, intermediate and short term trends in the S&P 500 Index. This strategy attempts to generate high probability-of-profit trades, typically with a holding period of one to three days. If the strategy identifies positive price (Bullish) trends across these time frames, the strategy will invest long on a levered basis targeting 200% of the S&P 500 Index. If the strategy identifies negative price (Bearish) trends across these time frames, the strategy will invest short on a levered basis targeting 200% of the inverse S&P 500 Index. The strategy also utilizes certain indicators to identify periods of market dislocation that can result in high probability-of-profit trades. Specifically, when a high volume of stock trades occur at ever-higher prices, an overbought condition is indicated; or when a high volume of stock trades occur at ever-lower prices, an oversold condition is indicated. The Fund may engage in trades based on these indicators in an attempt to profit from mean reverting (back to the average) price movements in the S&P 500 Index, independent of the core trend model. During periods when the models trends are not aligned, absent of a trade signal, the strategy will signal investing in fixed income investments. The Fund invests in a variety of investment grade fixed income securities that are not expected to have returns that are highly correlated to the general equity market or the Funds tactical long short investment strategy. The Fund defines fixed income securities to include: bills, notes, debentures, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness issued of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, state and local political subdivisions, corporations and other business entities. The Fund defines investment grade fixed income securities as those rated, at the time of purchase, in the top four categories by a rating agency such as Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or Standard &P Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P"), or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality. The Fund's fixed income strategy is designed to generate interest income, capital appreciation and to diversify returns from those of the tactical long short investment strategy. To control interest rate risk, the Fund maintains an average fixed income portfolio maturity that ranges between short-term, (less than 1 year) and intermediate-term (4-7 years). However, the Fund purchases individual fixed income securities of any maturity. The Adviser seeks to reduce volatility, in part, by keeping the Fund's fixed income portfolio average maturity below a maximum of seven years, which can reduce sensitivity to capital losses caused by rising interest rates. The Adviser sells fixed income securities when a security's expected return declines, or issuer credit quality deteriorates and to adjust portfolio-level maturity. Specific weighting and allocation among the various types of fixed income investments will be made on the basis of the Adviser's assessment of the opportunities for income, capital appreciation and capital preservation relative to the risk, as measured by maturity and return volatility.
The Fund's investment adviser, CMG Capital Management Group, Inc. (the "Adviser") manages the fixed income strategy portion of the Fund's portfolio directly and delegates the management of the Fund's tactical long short investment strategy to Scotia Partners, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"). The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in any one issuer than a diversified fund. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser may each engage in active and frequent trading to achieve the Fund's investment objective. |

Risk [Heading] | rr_RiskHeading | Principal Investment Risks: |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk Narrative [Text Block] | rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock | As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program. Many factors affect the Fund's net asset value and performance.
Credit Risk - Debt issuers may not make interest and principal payments on securities held by the Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by the Fund may be lowered if an issuer's financial condition deteriorates.
Derivatives Risk - The Fund's use of futures involves leverage risk and tracking risk.
Fixed Income Risk - The value of the Fund's investments in fixed income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by the Fund.
Issuer-Specific Risk - The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
Leveraging Risk - The Fund's use of leverage through futures will magnify the Fund's gains or losses.
Management Style Risk - The Adviser's and/or Sub-Adviser's judgments about the potential appreciation of a particular security or derivative in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect. The Adviser's judgments about the investment management skill of the Sub-Adviser may prove to be incorrect.
Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund has a greater potential to realize losses upon the occurrence of adverse events affecting a particular issuer.
Portfolio Turnover Risk - Portfolio turnover refers to the rate at which the securities and derivatives held by the Fund are replaced. The higher the rate, the higher the transactional and brokerage costs associated with the turnover which will reduce the Fund's return. Active trading of securities may also increase the Fund's realized capital gains or losses, which may affect the taxes you pay as a Fund shareholder.
Short Position Risk - The Fund may invest in short futures positions which will prevent the Fund from participating in market gains.
Stock Market Risk - Equity prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.
Underlying Funds Risk - Mutual funds, closed-end funds and ETFs are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in other investment companies and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each other investment company and ETF is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the fund. |

Credit Risk - Debt issuers may not make interest and principal payments on securities held by the Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by the Fund may be lowered if an issuer's financial condition deteriorates.
Derivatives Risk - The Fund's use of futures involves leverage risk and tracking risk.
Fixed Income Risk - The value of the Fund's investments in fixed income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by the Fund.
Issuer-Specific Risk - The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
Leveraging Risk - The Fund's use of leverage through futures will magnify the Fund's gains or losses.
Management Style Risk - The Adviser's and/or Sub-Adviser's judgments about the potential appreciation of a particular security or derivative in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect. The Adviser's judgments about the investment management skill of the Sub-Adviser may prove to be incorrect.
Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund has a greater potential to realize losses upon the occurrence of adverse events affecting a particular issuer.
Portfolio Turnover Risk - Portfolio turnover refers to the rate at which the securities and derivatives held by the Fund are replaced. The higher the rate, the higher the transactional and brokerage costs associated with the turnover which will reduce the Fund's return. Active trading of securities may also increase the Fund's realized capital gains or losses, which may affect the taxes you pay as a Fund shareholder.
Short Position Risk - The Fund may invest in short futures positions which will prevent the Fund from participating in market gains.
Stock Market Risk - Equity prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.
Underlying Funds Risk - Mutual funds, and ETFs (Underlying Funds) in which the Fund invests are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the Underlying Funds and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each of the Underlying Funds is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the fund. |

Strategy [Heading] | rr_StrategyHeading | Principal Investment Strategies: |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | The Fund intends to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of publicly listed companies, and at least 40% of its assets in securities issued by companies domiciled outside of the United States, from a minimum of three foreign countries.
The Funds adviser, CMG Capital Management Group, Inc., (the Adviser) uses a screening process to construct a portfolio of equity securities that it believes will produce long-term total returns with less volatility than global equity markets in general. The Fund may invest in companies of any size or geographic location. The Fund will invest in foreign securities, including American depositary receipts (ADRs), securities issued by foreign companies or a foreign exchange, and may invest in emerging market securities. The adviser delegates execution of the Funds active volatility management process (Active Volatility Management) to a sub-adviser, AlphaSimplex Group, LLC. The Fund is designed to reduce the portfolios risk profile by utilizing a sub-adviser to identify periods of high risk in global equity markets and hedging equity exposure by investing in liquid equity index future contracts (Active Volatility Management).
The Adviser manages the Funds portfolio by using research from a third party provider for its screening and investment process to:
(1) identify companies with at least 3 years of audited financials; (2) rank companies by profit per-share and balance leverage; (3) re-rank favorable companies by variability of profits and leverage; (4) screen out equities with insufficient liquidity relative to the Funds size; (5) invest in top equities, as determined by the this screening process, on an equally-weighted basis; (6) daily review and replacement of any substantially deteriorating companies with next best ranked equities; (7) monthly re-identification and purchase of top equities, as determined by the Advisers screening process; and (8) annual rebalancing to equally-weight the top equities, as determined by the Advisers screening process.
The Adviser believes this quantitative investment process will select equities that provide long-term total returns. The Adviser initially intends to build a portfolio of 50 equity positions, but the total number held by the Fund may vary from time-to-time as determined by the Adviser. The Adviser is responsible for the day to day management and compliance of the equity portfolio, and the Adviser delegates the Active Volatility Management to AlphaSimplex Group, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"). The Adviser, on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Fund and other funds it advises or may advise in the future that are each a series of Northern Lights Fund Trust, was granted an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits the Adviser, with Board of Trustee approval, to enter into or amend sub-advisory agreements with sub-advisers without obtaining shareholder approval. The order eliminates the need for a shareholders meeting and vote to approve sub-advisers. Shareholders will be notified if and when a new sub-adviser is employed by the Adviser.
The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in any one issuer than a diversified fund. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser may each engage in active and frequent trading to achieve the Fund's investment objective. |

Strategy Portfolio Concentration [Text] | rr_StrategyPortfolioConcentration | The Fund intends to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of publicly listed companies, and at least 40% of its assets in securities issued by companies domiciled outside of the United States, from a minimum of three foreign countries. |

||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk Narrative [Text Block] | rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock | As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program. Many factors affect the Fund's net asset value and performance.
Derivatives Risk - The Fund's use of futures involves leverage risk and tracking risk.
Non-Diversification Risk: As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one or more issuers. The Fund's performance may be more sensitive to any single economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence than the value of shares of a diversified investment company.
Issuer-Specific Risk - The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
Leveraging Risk - The Fund's use of leverage through futures will magnify the Fund's gains or losses.
Management Style Risk - The Adviser's and/or Sub-Adviser's judgments about the potential appreciation of a particular security in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect. The Adviser's judgments about the investment management skill of the Sub-Adviser may prove to be incorrect.
Limited History of Operations Risk- The Fund is a new mutual fund and has a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate.
Hedging Risk- Although derivative instruments may be used to offset or hedge against losses on an opposite position, such hedges can also potentially offset any gains on the opposite position. The Fund may also be exposed to the risk it may be required to segregate assets or enter into offsetting positions in connection with investments in derivatives, but such segregation will not limit the Fund's exposure to loss. The Fund may also incur risk with respect to the segregated assets to the extent that, but for the applicable segregation requirement in connection with its investments in derivatives, the Fund would sell the segregated assets.
Short Position Risk- The Fund may invest in short futures positions which will prevent the Fund from participating in market gains.
Stock Market Risk - Equity prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.
Foreign Investment Risk - The Fund's performance may depend on issues other than the performance of a particular company or U.S. market sector. The values of foreign investments may be affected by changes in exchange control regulations, application of foreign tax laws (including withholding tax) changes in governmental administration or economic or monetary policy (in this country or abroad) or changed circumstances in dealings between nations. The value of foreign securities is also affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
Foreign Emerging Market Risk - In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in foreign securities, countries with emerging markets also may have relatively unstable governments, social and legal systems that do not protect shareholders, economies based on only a few industries, and securities markets that trade a small number of issues.
Smaller Company Risk - Smaller companies may experience higher failure rates than do larger companies. Securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than the securities of larger companies, which may disproportionately affect their market price. |

Strategy [Heading] | rr_StrategyHeading | Principal Investment Strategies: |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | The Fund invests primarily in high yield fixed income securities, directly or by investing in other mutual funds or exchange traded funds ( ETFs) (collectively, Underlying Funds) which invest primarily in high yield bonds and other debt securities that are rated below investment grade by Moodys or Standard and Poors respectively. The Funds investment adviser (the Adviser) adjusts the Funds portfolio to obtain maximum total return (income and price appreciation) in up trending high yield bond markets and focuses on capital preservation in down trending price environments. The Adviser utilizes its proprietary risk management Asset Allocation Program in managing the Fund. In down trending price environments, the Fund can also invest in put and call options as a means to protect (hedge) the portfolios high yield bond exposure and/or move its high yield bond exposure temporarily to cash or short-term cash equivalents in an attempt to mitigate market declines as well as lower portfolio volatility.
The Fund invests in fixed income securities that are sometimes referred to as high yield or junk bonds. The Fund defines high yield bonds as those rated lower than Baa3 by Moodys Investors Service (Moodys) or lower than BBB- by Standard and Poors Rating Group (S&P), or determined to be of similar quality by the Funds Adviser. Such securities are considered speculative investments that carry greater risk of default. The Fund may hold U.S. Government securities or cash equivalents for collateralization obligations, to pay redemption requests or while pending investment. The Fund may invest in a wide range of instruments, markets and asset classes, including but not limited to U.S. securities), Underlying Funds and derivative investments such as futures and options. Derivative investments may be used by the Adviser for hedging purposes or for speculative purposes. The Fund (or the Underlying Funds in which the Fund may invest) may sell securities short or leverage its assets through borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in any one issuer than a diversified fund. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk [Heading] | rr_RiskHeading | Principal Investment Risks: |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk Narrative [Text Block] | rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock | As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Many factors affect the Funds net asset value and performance.
Credit Risk Debt issuers may not make interest and principal payments on securities held by the Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by the Fund may be lowered if an issuer's financial condition deteriorates.
Derivatives Risk The Fund may use derivatives (including futures and options) to enhance returns or hedge against market declines. The Funds use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments.
Fixed Income Risk The value of the Fund's investments in fixed income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of bonds and bond funds owned by the Fund. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of the fixed income securities generally increases. Your investment will decline in value if the value of the Funds investments decreases.
High-Yield Bond Risk Lower-quality bonds, known as "high yield" or "junk" bonds, present greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased risk of default. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these bonds and reduce the Funds ability to sell its bonds. The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease the Funds share price.
Issuer-Specific Risk The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
Leveraging Risk The use of leverage, such as borrowing money to purchase securities, will magnify the Fund's gains or losses.
Limited History of Operations Risk: The Fund is a new mutual fund and has a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate.
Liquidity Risk The markets for high-yield, convertible and certain lightly traded equity securities (particularly small cap issues) are often not as liquid as markets for higher-rated securities or large cap equity securities. Accordingly, these secondary markets (generally or for a particular security) could contract under real or perceived adverse market or economic conditions. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Funds ability to dispose of particular portfolio investments and may limit the ability of the Fund to obtain accurate market quotations for purposes of valuing securities and calculating net asset value.
Management Style Risk The Adviser's judgment about the potential appreciation of a particular security or currency in which the Fund invests or calls it writes may prove to be incorrect.
Non-Diversification Risk The Fund has a greater potential to realize losses upon the occurrence of adverse events affecting a particular issuer.
Sector Risk The Fund's investments in a sector bear the risk that securities within the same group of industries will decline in price due to sector-specific market or economic developments.
Short Selling Risk The Fund (and the Underlying Funds) may engage in short selling activities, which are more risky than "long" positions (purchases) because the cost of the replacement security or instrument is unknown.
Stock Market Risk Market prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.
Underlying Funds Risk Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the Underlying Funds and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each of the Underlying Funds is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the fund. |

Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] | rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock | The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. |

Strategy [Heading] | rr_StrategyHeading | Principal Investment Strategies: |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | The Fund invests primarily in high yield fixed income securities, directly or by investing in other mutual funds or exchange traded funds (ETF s) (collectively, Underlying Funds) which invest primarily in high yield bonds and other debt securities that are rated below investment grade by Moodys or Standard and Poors respectively. The Funds investment adviser (the Adviser) adjusts the Funds portfolio to obtain maximum total return (income and price appreciation) in up trending high yield bond markets and focuses on capital preservation in down trending price environments. The Adviser utilizes its proprietary risk management Asset Allocation Program in managing the Fund. In down trending price environments, the Fund can also invest in put and call options as a means to protect (hedge) the portfolios high yield bond exposure and/or move its high yield bond exposure temporarily to cash or short-term cash equivalents in an attempt to mitigate market declines as well as lower portfolio volatility. The Fund invests in fixed income securities that are sometimes referred to as high yield or junk bonds. The Fund defines high yield bonds as those rated lower than Baa3 by Moodys Investors Service (Moodys) or lower than BBB- by Standard and Poors Rating Group (S&P), or determined to be of similar quality by the Funds Adviser. Such securities are considered speculative investments that carry greater risk of default. The Fund may hold U.S. Government securities or cash equivalents for collateralization obligations, to pay redemption requests or while pending investment. The Fund may invest in a wide range of instruments, markets and asset classes, including but not limited to U.S. securities), Underlying Funds and derivative investments such as futures and options. Derivative investments may be used by the Adviser for hedging purposes or for speculative purposes. The Fund (or the Underlying Funds in which the Fund may invest) may sell securities short or leverage its assets through borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in any one issuer than a diversified fund. |

Risk [Heading] | rr_RiskHeading | Principal Investment Risks: |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk Narrative [Text Block] | rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock | As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Many factors affect the Funds net asset value and performance.
Credit Risk Debt issuers may not make interest and principal payments on securities held by the Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by the Fund may be lowered if an issuer's financial condition deteriorates.
Derivatives Risk The Fund may use derivatives (including futures and options) to enhance returns or hedge against market declines. The Funds use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments.
Fixed Income Risk The value of the Fund's investments in fixed income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of bonds and bond funds owned by the Fund. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of the fixed income securities generally increases. Your investment will decline in value if the value of the Funds investments decreases.
High-Yield Bond Risk Lower-quality bonds, known as "high yield" or "junk" bonds, present greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased risk of default. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these bonds and reduce the Funds ability to sell its bonds. The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease the Funds share price.
Issuer-Specific Risk The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
Leveraging Risk The use of leverage, such as borrowing money to purchase securities, will magnify the Fund's gains or losses.
Limited History of Operations Risk: The Fund is a new mutual fund and has a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate.
Liquidity Risk The markets for high-yield, convertible and certain lightly traded equity securities (particularly small cap issues) are often not as liquid as markets for higher-rated securities or large cap equity securities. Accordingly, these secondary markets (generally or for a particular security) could contract under real or perceived adverse market or economic conditions. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Funds ability to dispose of particular portfolio investments and may limit the ability of the Fund to obtain accurate market quotations for purposes of valuing securities and calculating net asset value.
Management Style Risk The Adviser's judgment about the potential appreciation of a particular security or currency in which the Fund invests or calls it writes may prove to be incorrect.
Non-Diversification Risk The Fund has a greater potential to realize losses upon the occurrence of adverse events affecting a particular issuer.
Sector Risk The Fund's investments in a sector bear the risk that securities within the same group of industries will decline in price due to sector-specific market or economic developments.
Short Selling Risk The Fund (and the Underlying Funds) may engage in short selling activities, which are more risky than "long" positions (purchases) because the cost of the replacement security or instrument is unknown.
Stock Market Risk Market prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.
Underlying Funds Risk Mutual funds, and ETFs (Underlying Funds) in which the Fund invests are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the Underlying Funds and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each of the Underlying Funds is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the fund. |
