Forex (or FX or off-exchange foreign currency futures and options) trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The value of currencies may fluctuate and investors may lose all or more than their original investments. Risks also include, but are not limited to, the potential for changing political and/or economic conditions that may substantially affect the price and/or liquidity of a currency. The impact of seasonal and geopolitical events is already factored into market prices. Prices in the underlying cash or physical markets do not necessarily move in tandem with futures and options prices. The leveraged nature of FX trading means that any market movement will have an equally proportional effect on your deposited funds and such may work against you as well as for you. Loss-limiting strategies such as stop loss orders may not be effective because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. Likewise, strategies using combinations of positions such as “spread” or “straddle” trades may be just as risky as simple long and short positions. Past results are no indication of future performance. Information contained in this correspondence is intended for informational purposes only and was obtained from sources believed to be reliable. Information is in no way guaranteed. No guarantee of any kind is implied or possible where projections of future conditions are attempted.

This brief statement does not disclose all of the risks and other significant aspects of trading in leveraged investments and in the purchase or sale of spot foreign currencies. In light of the risks, you should undertake such transactions only if you understand the nature of the contracts (and contractual relationships) into which you are entering and the extent of your exposure to risk. Past Performance is not indicative of future results. This is not a solicitation to invest. To invest the Account documents must be read and agreement forms signed.

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 or discussed. 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. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performances record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed , the results may have under –or-over compensated for the impact, if any , of certain market factors , such as lack of liquidity . Simulated trading programs in general , are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight . 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 . Past Performance is not indicative of future results. Prospective clients should not base their decision on investing in this trading program solely on the past performance presented. Past performance does not guarantee future results and market conditions change. The performance quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
