D. Investments and Results:
1. The purchase and sale of securities, futures, or commodities involve a high degree of risk and is speculative in nature. The purchase and sale of securities should only be conducted by persons who understand and accept the risks involved therewith and who have independently reviewed and determined their acceptance and suitability of these risks and the financial and tax consequences thereof. Only persons who are able to bear the risk of substantial or complete loss of funds should engage in the purchase and sale of securities, futures or commodities.
2. Trading Drills and the content and information contained on the Site, and in other products and services of Trading Drills does not indicate or guarantee any predictable, general, specific or other results. The purchase and sale of securities, and any other investment activity, involves a high degree of risk, and a number of factors could materially and adversely affect the results and lead to a substantial or complete loss of an investment.
3. As more fully set forth herein, Trading Drills and its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and affiliates, make no representation, warranty or guarantee as to the validity, adequacy, timeliness, accuracy, reliability or completeness of any data, content or information. You should independently analyze, review and confirm any such data, content or information.
4. Trading Drills may express or utilize testimonials or descriptions of past performance, but such items are not indicative of future results or performance, or any representation, warranty or guarantee that any result will be obtained by you. Your results may differ materially from those expressed or utilized by Trading Drills due to a number of factors.
5. COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION RULE 4.41: 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 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 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 and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
E. Testimonials Disclaimer
