Distribution

This information is not intended for distribution, or use by, any person in any country where such distribution or use would be contrary to local law or regulation.  None of the services or information referred to herein are available to persons residing in any country where the provision of such services or information would be contrary to local law or regulation.  It is the responsibility of users of this information to ascertain the terms of and comply with any local law or regulation to which they are subject.

 

Performance Results

Past performance results are shown for illustration and example only, are hypothetical and as such have many inherent limitations.  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 significant differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading technique or methodology.  One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are 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 despite trading losses are material factors which can 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 can not be fully accounted for in a preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
