Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates  
Use of Estimates.
The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates, and those differences could be material.
Profit Allocation
Profit Allocation.
Except for class specific
expenses
, the General Partner and each limited partner of the Partnership share in the profits and losses of the Partnership in proportion to the amount of Partnership interest owned by each, except that no limited partner is liable for obligations of the Partnership in excess of its capital contributions
and
profits, if any, net of distributions or redemptions and losses, if any.
Statement of Cash Flows
Statement of Cash Flows.
The Partnership has not provided a Statement of Cash Flows, as permitted by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 230,
“Statement of Cash Flows.”
The Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital is included herein, and as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Partnership carried no debt and all of the Partnership’s and the Funds’ investments were carried at fair value and classified as Level 1 or Level 2 measurements.
Partnership's Investment in the Funds
Partnership’s Investment in the Funds.
The
Partnership carries its investment in Drakewood Master based on the Partnership’s (1) net contribution to Drakewood Master and (2) its allocated share of the undistributed profits and losses, including realized gains or losses and net change in unrealized gains or losses, of Drakewood Master. The Partnership carried its investment in NL Master based on the Partnership’s (1) net contribution to NL Master and (2) its allocated share of the undistributed
profits
and losses, including realized gains or losses and net change in unrealized gains or losses, of NL Master.
Partnership's/Funds' Derivative Investments
Partnership’s/Funds’ Derivative Investments.
All commodity interests held by the Partnership/Funds, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments, are held for trading purposes. The commodity interests are recorded on the trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described in Note 5, “Fair Value Measurements”) at the measurement date. Investments in commodity interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated and are determined using the
first-in,
first-out
method. Net unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account in the Partnership’s/Funds’ Statements of Financial Condition. Net realized gains or losses and net change in unrealized gains or losses are included in the Partnership’s/Funds’ Statements of
Income
and Expenses.
The Partnership/Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments due to fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in total trading results in the Partnership’s/Funds’ Statements of Income and Expenses.
Partnership's Cash
Partnership’s Cash
. The Partnership’s restricted cash is equal to the cash portion of assets on deposit to meet margin requirements, as determined by the exchange or counterparty, and required by MS&Co. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amount of cash held for margin requirements was $4,925,480 and $7,364,913, respectively. Cash
that
is not classified as restricted cash is therefore classified as unrestricted cash. The Partnership’s restricted and unrestricted cash includes cash denominated in foreign currencies of $472,934 (cost of $417,002) and $179,838 (cost of $173,642) as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes.
Income
taxes
have not been recorded as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on its share of the Partnership’s income and expenses. The Partnership follows the guidance of ASC 740,
“Income Taxes,”
which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are
“more-likely-than-not”
of being sustained “when challenged” or “when examined” by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions determined not to meet the
more-likely-than-not
threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or liability in the Partnership’s Statements of Financial Condition for the current year. If a tax position does not meet the minimum statutory threshold to avoid the incurring of penalties, an expense for the amount of the statutory penalty and interest, if applicable, shall be recognized in the Statements of Income and Expenses in the period in which the position is claimed or expected to be claimed. The General Partner has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Partnership files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination.
The 2021 through 2024
tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.
 
Investment Company Status
Investment Company Status
. The Partnership has been
deemed
to be an investment company since inception. Accordingly, the Partnership follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of
Financial Services—Investment Companies (Topic 946)
and reflects its investments at fair value with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected
in
the Statements of Income and Expenses.
Net Income (Loss) per Redeemable Unit
Net Income (Loss) per Redeemable Unit.
Net income (loss) per Redeemable Unit is calculated in accordance with ASC 946,
“Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
See Note 3, “Financial Highlights.”
Segment Reporting
Segment Reporting
. During the year
ended
December 31, 2024, the Partnership adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update
No. 2023-07,
Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, (ASU
2023-07)
, which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity’s reportable segments. The Partnership operates as a single reportable segment, as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) monitors the operating results of the Partnership as a whole against its investment objective, which is included in Note 1. The Partnership’s President acts as the Partnership’s CODM and is responsible for assessing the performance of the Partnership’s single segment and deciding how to allocate the segment’s resources. To perform this function, the CODM reviews the total trading results as reflected in the accompanying statements of income and expenses and total return as reflected in the financial highlights as included in the notes to the Partnership’s Financial Statements. Additionally, segment assets are presented in the accompanying
Statements
of Financial Condition and significant segment expenses are reported in the accompanying Statements of Income and Expenses.
There have been no material changes with respect to the Partnership’s critical accounting policies as reported in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2024.
