COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION 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 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.
Options Trading
The risk of loss in trading options and other securities or other financial assets can be substantial. Consider all relevant risk factors, including your own personal financial situation, before engaging in any options trading. The possibility exists that you could sustain a substantial loss which could total more than your initial investment in a short period of time. Therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the risks associated with trading, you should confer with a trusted and reliable independent financial advisor. None of the Information or the Website provided by the Company constitutes a solicitation to trade any investment or security or financial asset of any kind.
Options are widely considered a volatile investment class, and are priced according to complex factors involving (among other factors) price, the volatility of the underlying asset, time until expiration, and interest rates. By their nature, therefore, options involve a high degree of financial risk. Risks associated with acquiring options include (without limitation): (i) the risk of losing your entire investment increases as the option goes out of the money and as expiration approaches; (ii) the risk that certain options do not have secondary markets on which to sell them, meaning that their value can only be realized upon expiration; (iii) the risk that a particular option contract may have specific exercise provisions that create additional risk; (iv) U.S. or other regulatory agencies may impose regulations or rules that impair your ability to realize value from options; and (v) the risk of losing your entire investment in a relatively short period of time.
Options, and the trading of options, are typically governed by a series of complex contracts. The intent of the legal documents and contracts might be unclear, and even clear drafting could be misconstrued by counterparties or by judges and arbitrators. A dispute over interpretation of any of these documents or contracts could arise, which may result in unenforceability of the contract or other outcome that is adverse to you.
The option market will be affected by general economic and market conditions, as well as by changes in laws, currency exchange controls, and international, national and regional political and socioeconomic circumstances. The option market may be sensitive to general downward swings in the overall economy or in particular industries or geographies. Factors affecting economic conditions, including, for example, inflation rates, currency devaluation, exchange rate fluctuations, industry conditions, competition, technological developments, domestic and worldwide political, military and diplomatic events and trends and innumerable other factors outside of your control and that of the Company, which can materially and adversely affect the availability or desirability of segments of the options market.
