It should not be assumed that the methods, techniques, or indicators

NFA 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 subsequently achieved by any 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 of
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 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 which can adversely affect actual trading results.
CFTC Disclaimer: "HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE
CERTAIN INHERENT LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD,
SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE
TRADES HAVE NOT ACTUALLY BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER- OR
OVER-COMPENSATED FOR 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 REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY
ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN."
