Past performance is no indication of future results. Futures and options trading always involves substantial risk of loss. Clients may lose more than their initial investment. Commodity futures trading is not for everyone so that it makes sense to investigate thoroughly the risks involved and to tap into the brain trust of an experienced futures trading firm and search for experienced commodity futures broker before you decide whether trading is suitable for you in light of your financial circumstances. In the case of individual speculators, only risk capital should be used.
