Nothing written or suggested on these pages, related web-sites, live charts, real-time trade communicator applet or in the commentary box should be considered a trading recommendation.

The eTradernet and EFT Capital web-sites together with its Real time market entry signal charts are intended as an educational tool only. It permits the reader to observe a trading desk's approach to trading certain products in the financial derivatives (Forex, Futures and CFD's) markets. Although the material here is intended to assist traders to make and possibly improve, their own personal investment and trading decisions, everything displayed on these pages remains opinion and is offered as such, with no guarantees or warranties, implied or otherwise.

WARNING: Anyone using any material or displayed function on this site for actual trading purposes does so at their OWN RISK, understanding that it may result in substantial financial losses.

Derivative margin trading involves a high degree of risk, and it is not a suitable investment vehicle for many people. Only risk capital should be used.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described here. No representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those simulated on the trading charts or commentary dialogs. In fact, there are often sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading or teaching program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally obtained without financial involvement or 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 draw-downs or to adhere to a trading plan in spite of losses is a material point, which can adversely affect actual trading results.

Online Futures, Foreign Currency and Equities trading is not for everyone. Trading these products and markets involves substantial risk. Past performance is also not necessarily indicative of future results.

The risk of loss in derivative products trading is substantial. Careful consideration should be given as to whether such trading is suitable in light of your financial condition, objectives and temperament. In considering whether to trade, an investor should be aware of the following:

A trader may sustain a total loss of the initial trading funds and any subsequent funds that he/she deposited with his/her broker to establish or maintain a position in the commodities and derivatives markets. If the market moves against a trader's position, he/she may be called upon by his/her broker to deposit a substantial amount of additional margin funds, on short notice, in order to maintain a position. If a trader does not provide the required funds within the prescribed time, his/her position will or may be liquidated at a loss and he/she will be liable for any resulting deficit in his account.

Under certain market conditions, a trader may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, when the market makes a limit move. Placing contingent orders, such as stop loss or stop limit orders, does not necessarily limit losses to the intended amounts because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. A spread position may not be less risky than a simple long or short position. The high degree of leverage that is often attainable in margin trading can work against an investor as well as for him/her. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as large gains.

Derivatives trading is not appropriate for all investors.

Only risk capital should be used to invest in the commodities and derivatives markets. You should only invest what you can afford to lose.
