DISCLAIMERS AND RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS
Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations unlike actual performance records: simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under or over compensated 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.
Redshell Pty Ltd trading as Global Trading Tools (“Global Trading Tools”) RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS
This statement does not disclose all of the risks and other aspects of trading. You should undertake such transactions only if You understand the nature of the contracts (and contractual relationships) into which You are entering and the extent of your exposure to risk. Trading is not suitable for many members of the public. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for You in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances.
Investments and trading involve risks, including possible loss of principal and other losses. The Software and the Services are designed, provided and/or presented as a training tool. By subscribing to the Software and/or Services, You understand that any trades that will be displayed and/or discussed are based around analysis owned by Redshell Pty Ltd, and are intended to be for educational purposes only. Please read all risk disclosures and agree to accept full responsibility for your own actions or inactions and agree to the limitations of electronic delivery of educational information.
RISK DISCLOSURES: Futures, options and foreign exchange
Transactions in futures carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the futures contract so that transactions are “leveraged”. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately greater impact on the funds You have deposited or will have to deposit: this may work against You as well as for You. You may sustain a complete loss of your initial margin funds and additional funds deposited with the firm to sustain your position. If the market moves against your position and/or margin levels are increased, You could be called upon to pay substantial additional funds immediately to maintain your position. If You do not comply with a request for additional funds within the time allotted, your position may be liquidated at a loss and You will be liable for any resulting deficit.
The placing of certain orders (e.g. “stop loss” orders, where permitted under local law, or “stop limit” orders) which are intended to limit losses to certain amounts may not be effective because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. Strategies using combinations of positions, such as “spread” and “straddle” positions may be as risky as taking simple “long” or “short” positions.
Transactions in options carry a high degree of risk. Purchasers and sellers of options should familiarize themselves with the type of option (ie put or call) which they contemplate trading and the associated risks. You should calculate the extent to which the value of the options must increase for your position to become profitable, taking into account the premium and all transaction costs.
The purchaser of options may offset or exercise the options or allow the options to expire. The exercise of an option results either in a cash settlement or in the purchaser acquiring or delivering the underlying interest. If the option is on a future, the purchaser will acquire a futures position with associated liabilities for margin (see the section on futures above). If the purchased options expire worthless, You will suffer a total loss of your investment which will consist of the option premium plus transaction costs. If You are contemplating purchasing deep out-of-the-money options, You should be aware that the chance of such options becoming profitable ordinarily is remote
Selling (“writing” or “granting”) an option generally entails considerably greater risk than purchasing options. Although the premium received by the seller is fixed, the seller may sustain a loss well in exce3ss of that amount. The seller will be liable for additional margin to maintain the position if the market moves unfavourably. The seller will also be exposed to the risk of the purchaser exercising the option and the seller will be obligated to either settle the option in cash or to acquire or deliver the underlying interest. If the option is on a future, the seller will acquire a position in a future with associated liabilities for margin (see section on futures above). If the position is “covered” by the seller holding a corresponding position in the underlying interest or a future or another option, the risk may be reduced. If the option is not covered, the risk of loss can be unlimited.
Certain exchanges in some jurisdictions permit deferred payment of the option premium, exposing the purchaser to liability for margin payments not exceeding the amount of the premium. The purchaser is still subject to the risk of losing the premium and transaction costs. When the option is exercised or expires, the purchaser is responsible for any unpaid premium outstanding at that time.
You should ask the firm with which You deal about the term and conditions of the specific futures or options which You are trading and associated obligations (e.g. The circumstance under which You may become obligated to make or take delivery of the underlying interest of a futures contract and, in respect of options, expiration dates and restrictions on the time for exercise). Under certain circumstances the specifications of outstanding contracts (including the exercise price of an option) may be modified by the exchange or clearing house to reflect changes in the underlying interest.
Market conditions (e.g. lack of liquidity) and/or the operation of the rules of
certain markets (e.g. The suspension of trading in any contract or contract month because of price limits or “circuit breakers”) may increase the risk of loss by making it difficult r impossible to effect transactions or liquidate/offset positions. If You have sold options, this may increase the risk of loss.
Further, normal pricing relationships between the underlying interest and the future, and the underlying interest and the option may not exist. This can occur when, for example, the futures contract underlying the option is subject to price limits while the option is not. The absence of an underlying reference price may make it difficult to judge “fair” value.
You should familiarize yourself with the protections accorded money or other property You deposit for domestic and foreign transactions, particularly in the event of a firm insolvency or bankruptcy. The extent to which You may recover your money or property may be governed by specified legislation or local rules. In some jurisdictions, property which had been specifically identifiable as your own will be pro-rated in the same manner as cash for purposes of distribution in the event of a shortfall.
Before You begin to trade, You should obtain a clear explanation of all commission, fees and other charges for which You will be liable. These charges will affect your net profit (if any) or increase your loss.
Transactions on markets in other jurisdictions, including markets formally linked to a domestic market, may expose You to additional risk. Such markets may be subject to regulation which may offer different or diminished investor protection. Before You trade You should inquire about any rules relevant to your particular transactions. Your local regulatory authority will be unable to complete the enforcement of the rules of regulatory authorities or markets in other jurisdictions where your transactions have been effected. You should ask the firm with which You deal for details about the types of redress available in both your home jurisdiction and other relevant jurisdictions before You start to trade.
The profit or loss in transactions in foreign currency-denominated contracts (whether they are traded in your own or another jurisdiction) will be affected by fluctuations in currency rates where there is a need to convert from the currency denomination of the contract to another currency.
Most open-outcry and electronic trading facilities are supported by computer-based component systems for the order-routing, execution, matching, registration or clearing of trades. As with all facilities and systems, they are vulnerable to temporary disruption or failure. Your ability to recover certain losses may be subject to limits on liability imposed by the system provider, the market, the clearing house and/or member firms. Such limits may vary; You should ask the firm with which You deal for details in this respect.
Trading on an electronic trading system may differ not only from trading in an open-outcry market but also from trading on other electronic trading systems. If You undertake transactions on an electronic trading system, You will be exposed to risk associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software. The result of any system failure may be that your order is either not executed according to your instructions or is not executed at all.
In some jurisdictions, and only then in restricted circumstances, firms are permitted to effect off-exchange transactions. The firm with which You deal may be acting as your counter party to the transaction. It may be difficult or impossible to liquidate an existing position, to assess the value, to determine a fair price or to assess the exposure to risk. For these reasons, these transactions may involve increased risks. Off-exchange transactions may be less regulated or subject to a separate regulatory regime. Before You undertake such transactions, You should familiarize yourself with applicable rules and attendant risks.
Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange You should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risks involved. The possibility exists that You could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and potentially more than your initial investment and therefore You should not invest money that You cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if You have any doubts as to these risks.
HYPOTHETICAL DISCLAIMER
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results achieved by any particular trading program. 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 trading losses, are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets 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.
