Risk disclosure

The National Futures Association (NFA) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the regulatory agencies for the futures and forex markets in the United States, require that customers be informed about potential risks in financial markets. If you don't understand any of the information provided on this page, please contact us or seek advice from an independent financial advisor.

Risk associated with trading financial markets

Trading financial markets on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade or invest you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite.

The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and, therefore, you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading financial markets and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.

Government required risk disclaimer and disclosure statement

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 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, all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

U.S. government required disclaimer

Futures and options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in the futures and options markets. Don't trade with money you can't afford to lose. This is neither a solicitation nor an offer to buy or sell futures or options. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed on this website. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Trade at your own risk. The information provided here is of the nature of a general comment only and neither purports nor intends to be specific trading advice. It has been prepared without regard to any particular person's investment objectives, financial situation, and particular needs. Information should not be considered as an offer or enticement to buy, sell, or trade.

You should seek appropriate advice from your broker or licensed investment advisor before taking any action. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Simulated performance results contain inherent limitations. Unlike actual performance records, the results may under- or over-compensate for factors such as lack of liquidity. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

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.

Margin, liquidation, and order risk

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.

Results are not typical

No promises of profit are made anywhere on this site. Testimonials and results shared are individual experiences, not typical outcomes, and your results depend on factors entirely outside our control. Most retail traders lose money. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

Hypnosis and mindset material

The Reset, the Hypnotic Audios, and all mindset material are self-development tools using guided relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques. They are performance conditioning — not medical, psychological, or therapeutic treatment, and not a substitute for professional care. If you are struggling with your mental health, speak to a qualified professional. Do not listen to any audio while driving or operating machinery.
