To trade any one commodity by itself from the DIT, it is suggested to have at least four times the margin requirement available. Most successful traders use stops that are 2% or less of their total equity. Most trades will be losing trades. Investors are cautioned that proper money management is crucial to success and should be emphasized at all times.

I do not guarantee that profits will be achieved or that losses will not occur. Losses in commodity trading can be substantial, and can exceed the level of your initial investment. Therefore, carefully consider this type of investment in light of your financial situation. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results. Trading Commodities and Futures involves Significant Risk of Loss. It is not suitable for every investor. Information contained herein is the opinion of the writer and may change at any time. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Information obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but in no way guaranteed.

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 subsequently 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 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 and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
