DISCLAIMER
Hypothetical or simulated performance results have
certain inherent limitations unlike actual performance
record: simulated results do no not represent actual
trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been
executed, the results may have under- or
overcompensated of the impact, if any, of certain market
factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading
programs in general are also subject to the fact that they
are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No
presentation is being made that any account will or is
likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those
predicted or shown.
