The risk of loss in trading commodity futures and options is substantial. Before trading, you should carefully consider your financial position to determine if futures trading is appropriate. When trading futures and/or options, it is possible to lose more than the full value of your account. All funds committed should be risk capital. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
You should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite before deciding to trade in the forex market. Trading Foreign Exchange carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. There is a possibility that you could sustain a loss of all or more of your investment therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with Foreign Exchange trading.
There are several risk factors that may substantially affect the price, or liquidity of a currency or currency pair including, but not limited to creditworthiness, leverage, limited regulatory protection and market volatility. Because forex transactions are leveraged, any market movement will have an equally proportional effect on your deposited funds. This effect may work for you as well as against you. Further, the likelihood exists that you could sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and be required to deposit additional funds to maintain your position.
Seasonal tendencies are a composite of some of the most consistent commodity futures seasonals that have occurred in the past several years. There are usually underlying, fundamental circumstances that occur annually that tend to cause the futures markets to react in similar directional manner during a certain calendar year. Even if a seasonal tendency occurs in the future, it may not result in a profitable transaction as fees and the timing of the entry and liquidation may impact on the results. No representation is being made that any account has in the past, or will in the future, achieve profits using these recommendations. No representation is being made that price patterns will recur in the future.
