Risk disclosure
Futures 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 one’s financial security or lifestyle. 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 disclaimer
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 subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.
One limitation of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. Hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. The ability to withstand losses or to follow a trading program despite trading losses are material points that can adversely affect actual results.
Other factors related to markets generally, or to the implementation of a specific trading program, cannot be fully accounted for when hypothetical performance results are prepared. Those factors can also adversely affect actual trading results.
