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.

Trading forex and commodities on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
