IMPORTANT NOTICE

RISK WARNING

THE ESTIMATE OF THE FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF (FINANCIAL) INSTRUMENTS, SEE ABOVE, IN THIS REPORT MAY DEVIATE FROM THE ACTUAL PERFORMANCE OF THE INSTRUMENTS. HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. IN ADDITION, SINCE SOME OR ALL TRADES HAVE NOT ACTUALLY BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY OR FAST MARKET CONDITIONS.

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 (AND INCUR ACCOUNT DRAW DOWNS) OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE IMPORTANT ISSUES WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.

ONLY RISK CAPITAL SHOULD BE USED FOR FOREX, COMMODITIES, FUTURES AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS TRADING DUE TO THE HIGH RISK OF LOSS.

THE CALCULATED RISK/REWARD SHOULD BE REGARDED AS HYPOTHETICAL ALSO AND AS AN ESTIMATE OF POTENTIAL GAIN AND LOSS. THE CALCULATIONS DO NOT TAKE TRADING COSTS AND SPREADS INTO ACCOUNT. THERE WILL HOWEVER, BE CALCULATED A SLIPPAGE WHEN THE HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE IS BEING CALCULATED.

Customers should be aware of the risks associated with over-the-counter, spot Forex trading. In the off-exchange market, also called the over-the-counter market, a retail customer trades directly with a counterparty and there is no exchange or central clearing house to support the transaction. Trading forex, commodities and other financial instruments is highly speculative in nature, which can mean prices may become extremely volatile. Forex trading is highly leveraged. Since low margin deposits normally are required, an extremely high degree of leverage is obtained in over-the-counter trading. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited. You may sustain a total loss of your funds. Since the possibility of losing your entire cash balance does exist, speculation in the over-the-counter market should only be conducted with risk capital you can afford to lose and which will not dramatically impact your lifestyle.

As each individual situation is unique, questions relevant to personal finances and specific to the individual should be addressed to an appropriate professional to ensure that the situation has been carefully and appropriately evaluated. Any advice is general and does not take into account your objectives, financial situation and needs. You should always consider whether it is appropriate for You.
