COMMODITYTRENDS MAKES NO REPRESENTATION THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are mentioned below, and there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. 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. 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 to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of the trading losses are material points, which can also adversely affect trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the market 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.

CommodityTrends contains information regarding some of CommodityTrends's successful hypothetical trades. CommodityTrends also has hypothetical trades where it lost money (not including fees and commissions). Past Results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

For customers trading options, the futures charts are presented for informational purposes only. They are intended to show how investing in options can depend on the underlying futures prices; specifically, whether or not an option purchaser is buying an in-the-money, at-the-money, or out-of-the-money option. Furthermore, the purchaser will be able to determine whether or not to exercise his or her right on an option depending on how the option's strike price compares to the underlying futures price. The futures charts are not intended to imply that option prices move in tandem with futures prices. In fact, option prices may only move a fraction of the price move in the underlying futures. In some cases, the option may not move at all or even move in the opposite direction of the underlying futures contract.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT FUTURES AND OPTION TRADING INVOLVES HIGH RISKS THAT MAY RESULT IN YOUR LOSS OF LARGE SUMS OF MONEY.

When investing in futures, you may lose more than the funds you invested. When purchasing options, you may lose all of the money you invested.

Trading on commodity futures or options involves substantial risk of loss. According to many experts, most individual investors who trade commodity futures or options lose money.

Being a successful PAPER TRADER during one time period does not mean that you will make money when you actually invest during a later time period. Market conditions constantly change.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT PARTICIPATING IN COMMODITY TRADING ENTAILS INHERENT RISKS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE RISKS DESCRIBED IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE. NOTWITHSTANDING THESE RISKS, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN COMMODITY TRADING WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGERS INVOLVED AND HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL RISKS OF FINANCIAL LOSS ARISING THEREFROM, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF COMMODITYTRENDS OR OTHERWISE.

DECISIONS TO BUY, SELL, HOLD OR TRADE IN SECURITIES, COMMODITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS INVOLVE RISK AND ARE BEST MADE BASED ON THE ADVICE OF QUALIFIED FINANCIAL PROFESSIONALS. ANY TRADING IN SECURITIES OR OTHER INVESTMENTS INVOLVES A RISK OF SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES. THE PRACTICE OF “DAY TRADING” INVOLVES PARTICULARLY HIGH RISKS AND CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOSE SUBSTANTIAL SUMS OF MONEY. BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY TRADING PROGRAM, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A QUALIFIED FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL. PLEASE CONSIDER CAREFULLY WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND ABILITY TO BEAR FINANCIAL RISKS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE YOU OR ANYONE ELSE INCURS AS A RESULT OF ANY TRADING OR INVESTMENT ACTIVITY THAT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE ENGAGES IN BASED ON ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIAL YOU RECEIVE THROUGH THE COMMODITYTRENDS SERVICES.

COMMODITYTRENDS CONTENT IS NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE TAX, LEGAL OR INVESTMENT ADVICE AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION BY COMMODITYTRENDS OF THE PURCHASE OR SALE OF SECURITIES.

Neither Jim Prince or anyone employed by CommodityTrends is registered as a securities broker-dealer, broker, an investment advisor, commodity trading advisor, or an investment advisor representative with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, any state securities regulatory authority, or any self-regulatory organization. Employees and Owners of CommodityTrends are paid in whole or in part by commission based on their sales of CommodityTrends Services to subscribers.

Trade alerts CommodityTrends may send to you via email or text can occur in advance of the trade being executed. CommodityTrends, however, cannot guarantee due to technology limitations that you will receive the alert before the trade is executed. CommodityTrends also cannot guarantee that the alerted trade will, in fact, occur as the conditions and other variables upon which the alerted proposed trade is based may not materialize. Further, CommodityTrends cannot guarantee that you will be able to execute the same trade at the alerted price or position size as market conditions change rapidly. CommodityTrends encourages you not to simply copy alerted trades in your own portfolio. Trade alerts are presented to help you learn how to make investment decisions for yourself. You are responsible for your own trading activity and investment decisions.

CommodityTrends offers its end users and clients SMS services for the delivery of information, including Trade Alerts. The information received is requested by the end user or is based on a business relationship or transaction with CommodityTrends. The information sent does not contain advertising or a solicitation. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Users can text HELP to the sending number for help and reply STOP to cancel receiving text messages.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CommodityTrends and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, partners and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, demands, or fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to and content you submit, post, transmit, modify or otherwise make available through the CommodityTrends Services, your use of CommodityTrends Sites and Services, your connection to the CommodityTrends Services, your violation of the Terms of Service, or your violation of any rights of another.
