1. General Futures and Forex 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.

High degree of leverage often obtainable in commodity futures trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains. You should carefully consider whether trading in futures, options on futures, or retail off-exchange foreign currency contracts is appropriate for you in light of your financial condition and risk tolerance.

2. CFTC Rule 4.41 – Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

CFTC RULE 4.41 — HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS:

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.

Any interactive tools, backtesting calculators, win-rate simulators, Monte Carlo models, or historical performance comparisons appearing on this website are hypothetical and simulated in nature. They do not reflect live execution, slippage, liquidity gaps, latency, broker downtime, or psychological pressures experienced during live trading.

5. Digital Currencies & Crypto Assets Disclosure
