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 rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. The Fund does not pay transaction costs
when buying and selling shares of other mutual funds, however, the underlying
funds pay transaction costs when buying and selling securities for their
portfolio. 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 of the Fund
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock The Fund operates as a fund of funds, investing primarily in registered mutual
funds advised by the Fund's sub-advisor, Altegris Advisors, LLC ("Altegris"),
including the Altegris® Futures Evolution Strategy Fund, the Altegris® Managed
Futures Strategy Fund, the Altegris® Macro Strategy Fund and the Altegris®
Equity Long Short Fund. Both Altegris and the Advisor are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Genworth Financial, Inc. The Fund may also invest directly in
securities, other affiliated or unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded
products, such as exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and exchange-traded notes
("ETNs"). The funds in which the Fund may invest are referred to herein as the
"Underlying Funds." By investing in the Fund, you will indirectly bear fees and
expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the Fund's direct fees and
expenses.
  
Under normal circumstances, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective
by investing in Underlying Funds that pursue investment strategies that include,
but are not limited to: a Managed Futures Strategy, a Global Macro Strategy, an
Equity Long/Short Strategy and a Fixed Income Strategy (each described
below). Additional strategies may be added over time. The Fund's sub-advisor
will use portfolio construction techniques to optimize the portfolio mix with
specific consideration to the Fund's objective. The Fund's portfolio will be
reviewed and reallocated over time as the environment or characteristics of the
portfolio change, additional Underlying Funds and strategies become available
and/or underlying managers are changed within Underlying Funds and strategies.

Assets managed pursuant to a Managed Futures or Global Macro Strategy may
be invested primarily in pooled investment vehicles, including commodity pools,
as well as swap contracts and structured notes. They may also be invested in
options, futures, forwards, and/or spot contracts, each of which may be tied to
commodities, financial indices and instruments, foreign currencies or equity
indices. A Managed Futures Strategy is a trend-following strategy that alerts
portfolio managers when to take long or short positions, giving them the
opportunity to potentially profit from both positive and negative developments
in multiple markets and asset classes simultaneously. In contrast to a Managed
Futures Strategy that reacts to trends, portfolio managers following a Global
Macro Strategy seek to predict trends by anticipating changes in world trade,
commodity supply and demand and currency values, among other global market
conditions. Both a Managed Futures Strategy and a Global Macro Strategy may give
the Fund exposure to emerging markets.

Assets managed pursuant to an Equity Long/Short Strategy may be invested in
long or short positions in equity securities of domestic and foreign companies
(including those located in emerging market countries) of any capitalization and
in any style (from growth to value). Assets under this strategy may be invested
in common and preferred stocks, stock warrants and rights and convertible debt
securities.

Assets managed pursuant to a Fixed Income Strategy may be invested in a wide
variety of domestic and foreign (including emerging markets) fixed income
securities of any credit quality or maturity, including debt securities issued
by government and corporate issuers throughout the world, bank loans and
assignments, mortgage- or asset-backed securities and fixed income related
futures, options and/or swaps.

Certain Underlying Funds (including the Altegris® Futures Evolution Strategy
Fund, the Altegris® Managed Futures Strategy Fund and the Altegris® Macro
Strategy Fund) may gain exposure to certain strategies that trade non-financial
commodity futures contracts within the limitations of the federal tax
requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended
by investing up to 25% of its assets through a wholly-owned and controlled
subsidiary ("Subsidiary"). The Fund may invest substantially all of its assets
in Underlying Funds that have Subsidiaries.

Certain Underlying Funds may invest in convertible debt securities of any
maturity or credit quality, including those rated below investment grade ("high
yield securities" or "junk bonds"). Below investment grade debt securities are
those rated below Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service or equivalently by another
NRSRO.

The Fund is classified as a non-diversified investment company, which means that
it may invest, through the Underlying Funds, in a limited number of issuers, and
therefore, an investment in the Fund may involve a higher degree of risk than
would be present in a diversified portfolio. The Fund or the Underlying Funds
may engage in active and frequent trading of securities and other
investments. Effects of frequent trading may include higher transaction costs
and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs may adversely affect the Fund's performance.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of
significant market volatility. There is the risk that you could lose all or a
portion of the money you have invested in the Fund. The Fund is subject to a
number of risks either directly or indirectly through its investments in
Underlying Funds. For purposes of this section, the term "Fund" should be read
to mean the Fund and the Underlying Funds. The following risks could affect the
value of your investment in the Fund:
  
Fund of Funds Risk:  The Fund is subject to fund of funds risk, which means that
the ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to
the ability of the Underlying Funds to meet their investment objectives. There
can be no assurance that either the Fund or the Underlying Funds will achieve
their investment objectives.

Alternative Strategies Risk:  Certain Underlying Funds that use alternative
investment strategies may be subject to risks including, but not limited to,
derivatives risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and commodities risk. Certain
alternative strategies involve the risk that a counterparty to a transaction
will not perform as promised, which would result in losses to the
Fund. Furthermore, alternative strategies may employ leverage, involve extensive
short positions and/or focus on narrow segments of the market, which may magnify
the overall risks and volatility associated with such investments.

Commodities Risk:  The Fund's investment in commodity-linked investments and
other commodity/natural resource-related securities may subject the Fund to
greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Commodity-linked
investments may have a substantial risk of loss with respect to both principal
and interest, and their returns may deviate significantly from the return of the
underlying commodity, instruments, or measures. The ability of the Fund to
invest in commodity-linked investments without exposing the Fund to entity-level
tax is limited under the Internal Revenue Code.

Convertible Securities Risk: The value of convertible securities tends to
decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to
vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities.

Credit Risk: Individual issues of fixed income securities may be subject to the
credit risk of the issuer. The issuer of a fixed income security may experience
financial problems, causing it to be unable to meet its payment obligations.

Derivatives Risk: A derivative is an instrument with a value based on the
performance of an underlying financial asset, index or other measure. The use of
derivatives involves risks different from, or greater than, the risks associated
with investing in more traditional investments. Derivatives may be volatile,
difficult to value, and the Fund may not be able to close out or sell a
derivative position at a particular time or at an anticipated price.

Emerging Markets Risk: In addition to the risks generally associated with
investing in foreign securities described above, countries with emerging markets
may also have relatively unstable governments, fewer shareholder protections,
and more limited economies and securities markets.

Exchange-Traded Funds Risk:  An ETF may represent a portfolio of securities, or
may use derivatives in pursuit of its stated objective. The risks of owning an
ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities held by the
ETF, although a lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in it being more
volatile. ETFs have management fees and other expenses which the Fund will
indirectly bear.

Foreign Exchange Trading Risk: The Fund may actively trade in spot and forward
currency positions and related currency derivatives. The trading of foreign
currencies directly generates risks separate from those faced from the risks of
inactive or indirect exposures to non-dollar denominated instruments, insofar as
the Fund may take a loss from the buying and selling of currencies without any
related exposure to non-dollar-denominated assets.

Foreign Securities Risk: The risks of investing in ADRs and foreign securities
can increase the potential for losses in the Fund and may include currency
fluctuations, political and economic instability, less government regulation,
less publicly available information, limited trading markets, differences in
financial reporting standards, fewer protections for passive investors and less
stringent regulation of securities markets.

High-Yield Debt Securities Risk:  High-yield debt securities or "junk bonds" are
debt securities rated below investment grade by an NRSRO. Junk bonds are subject
to greater credit risk than higher-grade securities and have a greater risk of
default. Issuers of junk bonds are more likely to experience financial
difficulties that may impair their ability to make principal and interest
payments.
  
Interest Rate Risk: The market value of fixed income securities will fluctuate
with changes in interest rates. For example, when interest rates rise, the
market value of fixed income securities declines.

Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that certain securities may be
difficult or impossible to buy or sell at the time and price that a Fund would
like to buy or sell the security.

Management Risk: An investment or allocation strategy used by the Fund may fail
to produce the intended results.

Market Risk: The value of the Fund's investments and the net asset values of
the shares of the Fund will fluctuate in response to various market and economic
factors related to the equity, fixed income and currency markets as well as the
financial condition and prospects of companies in which the Fund invests.

Maturity Risk: The Fund may invest in fixed income securities with a range of
maturities. Generally, the longer a security's maturity, the greater the risk
that interest rate fluctuations may adversely affect the value of the security.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed
securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk that the borrower
will prepay some or all of the principal owed to the issuer. If that happens,
the Fund may have to replace the security by investing the proceeds in a less
attractive security.

Non-Diversification Risk: The Fund is a non-diversified investment company,
which means that more of its assets may be invested, directly or indirectly, in
the securities of a single issuer than a diversified investment company. As a
non-diversified fund, the Fund has a greater potential to realize losses upon
the occurrence of adverse events affecting a particular issuer.

Pooled Investment Vehicle Risk: Pooled investment vehicles are subject their own
expenses, which would be indirectly paid by the Fund. The cost of investing in
the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the underlying
pooled investment vehicle and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest
directly in stocks and bonds. Underlying pooled investment vehicles are subject
to specific risks, depending on the nature of the vehicle.

Portfolio Turnover Risk: Depending on market and other conditions, the Fund may
experience high portfolio turnover, which may result in higher brokerage
commissions and transactions costs, as well as higher taxes.

Real Estate Risk: The value of real estate-linked derivative instruments and
other real estate-related securities may be affected by risks similar to those
associated with direct ownership of real estate, in addition to the risks of
poor performance by a REIT's manager, changes to tax laws, and failure by the
REIT to qualify for favorable treatment. REITs may have limited diversification
and may not exhibit the same (or any) correlation with inflation that real
estate or other real estate securities exhibit.

Regulatory Change Risk: Certain Underlying Funds advised by Altegris have filed
with the National Futures Association ("NFA"), a notice claiming an exclusion
from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" under Section 4.5 of
regulations of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, with respect to the
Altegris Funds' operation. Recently the CFTC proposed and adopted changes to
Section 4.5, and other regulations which are anticipated to be both effective
and subject to mandatory compliance by the Fund and Underlying Funds on or about
the end of 2012. These changes will result in additional registration and
disclosure obligations, may potentially limit or restrict the ability of an
Altegris Underlying Fund to pursue its investment strategies in substantially
the same manner as it currently does, and may increase future operating and
investment costs of the Underlying Funds and, consequently, the Fund.

Short Selling and Short Position Risk: The Underlying Funds may engage in short
selling and short position derivative activities, which are significantly
different from the investment activities commonly associated with conservative
stock funds. The potential loss on an uncovered short is unlimited. Shorting
will also result in higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes.
  
Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk: Small and medium capitalization
companies often have narrower markets, fewer products or services to offer and
more limited managerial and financial resources than do larger, more established
companies. As a result, their performance can be more volatile, and they face a
greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility and risk
of loss of a Fund's assets.

Structured Note Risk: Structured notes involve tracking risk, issuer default
risk and may involve leverage risk.

Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Risk: A Subsidiary will not be subject to all of the
investor protections of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Changes
in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could affect the
inability of the Fund and/or Subsidiary to operate as described herein and could
negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. By investing in the Fund, you
indirectly bear the expenses of the Subsidiary. Furthermore, any income received
from the Subsidiary's investments in underlying pooled investment vehicles may
be taxed at less favorable rates than capital gains.
Risk Lose Money [Text] rr_RiskLoseMoney There is the risk that you could lose all or a portion of the money you have invested in the Fund.
Risk Nondiversified Status [Text] rr_RiskNondiversifiedStatus The Fund is a non-diversified investment company, which means that more of its assets may be invested, directly or indirectly, in the securities of a single issuer than a diversified investment company. As a non-diversified fund, the Fund has a greater potential to realize losses upon the occurrence of adverse events affecting a particular issuer.
