*Disclaimer: Trading Foreign Exchange (Forex) carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all
investors. There is a possibility that you could sustain a loss of all or more of your investment therefore
you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks
associated with foreign exchange trading. Unique experiences and past performances do not
guarantee future results! Testimonials herein are unsolicited and are non-representative of all clients;
certain accounts may have worse performance than that indicated. Trading stocks, futures, options and
foreign exchange spot currencies involves substantial risk and there is always the potential for loss.
Your trading results may vary. Because the risk factor is high in foreign exchange market trading, only
genuine "risk" funds should be used in such trading. If you do not have the extra capital that you can
afford to lose, you should not trade in the foreign exchange market. No "safe" trading system has ever
been devised, and no one can guarantee profits or freedom from loss.
Forex, futures and options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk. You must
be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in the foreign exchange, futures
and options markets. Do not trade with money you can not afford to lose. This is neither a solicitation
nor an offer to Buy/Sell stocks, futures, options, and foreign exchange spot currencies. No
representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to
those discussed within this document. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is
not necessarily indicative of future results.
CFTC RULE 4.41 - 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 IN 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 OF WHICH CAN
ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
