CFTC Rule 4.41 & Risk Disclosure Regulatory Notice

CFTC Rule 4.41 & Risk Disclosure: Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since 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. Trading forex and commodities on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
