Last updated: July 9, 2025

IMPORTANT RISK WARNING

TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS.

You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources. You may lose all or more than your initial investment.

General Risk Disclosure

The risk of loss in trading commodity futures contracts can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. You should be aware of the following:

Complete Loss of Investment

You may sustain a total loss of the funds you deposit with your broker. If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon to deposit substantial additional margin funds on short notice. If you do not provide the required funds within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.

Past Performance Disclaimer

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results. Market conditions change, and strategies that worked in the past may not work in the future.

Specific Trading Risks

Market Volatility

Futures markets can be highly volatile. Price movements for futures contracts are influenced by, among other things:

  • Changing supply and demand relationships
  • Government trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs
  • National and international political and economic events
  • Changes in interest rates
  • Trading activities in futures and underlying cash markets

Leverage Risk

The high degree of leverage obtainable in futures trading can work against you as well as for you. Leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited.

Liquidity Risk

Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur when the market reaches a daily price fluctuation limit or there is insufficient trading volume.

Electronic Trading Risks

Trading through an electronic trading system exposes you to risks associated with system or component failure. In the event of system or component failure, it may not be possible to enter new orders, execute existing orders, or modify or cancel orders.
