Risk Disclosure
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could
potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without
jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and
only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily
indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described
below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses
similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical
performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading
program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally
prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial
risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of
actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading
program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading
results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the
implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the
preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
Testimonial Disclosure
Testimonials appearing on this website may not be representative of other clients or customers and
is not a guarantee of future performance or success.
Live Trade Room Disclosure
This presentation is for educational purposes only and the opinions expressed are those of the
presenter only. All trades presented should be considered hypothetical and should not be expected
to be replicated in a live trading account.
Virtual Currency Disclosure

currencies.
