any of the information provided will generate profits or

CFTC Rule
4.41:
HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE
CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE
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. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE
THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFIT OR
LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.
Trading performance
displayed herein is hypothetical. 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 trading 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 is 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.
The risk of loss in
trading can be substantial. You should therefore
carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for
you in light of your financial condition. If you
purchase or sell Equities, Futures, Currencies or
Options you may sustain a total loss of the initial
margin funds and any additional funds that you deposit
with your broker to establish or maintain your position.
If the market moves against your position, you may be
called upon by your broker to deposit a substantial
amount of additional margin funds, on short notice in
order to maintain your position. If you do not provide
the required funds within the prescribed time, your
position may be liquidated at a loss, and you may be
liable for any resulting deficit in your account.
Under certain
market conditions, you may find it difficult or
impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for
example, when the market makes a "limit move." The
placement of contingent orders by you, such as a "stop-loss" or
"stop-limit" order, will not necessarily
limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market
conditions may make it impossible to execute such
orders.
