Risk Disclosures

Futures & Options Risk Disclosure

Futures, foreign currency, and options trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one’s financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading, and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Trading futures and options on futures is speculative, involves a high degree of risk, and is not appropriate for everyone. You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources, and you should not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

CFTC Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

CFTC Rule 4.41 — Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations.

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, because the 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. 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.

Any metrics, analytics, or projections presented within Katalyst are derived from your own recorded or imported trading activity and are provided for informational and journaling purposes only. They are not a guarantee of, and are not necessarily indicative of, future results.
