NinjaTrader Ecosystem Disclosures

General Risk Disclosure

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading, and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. There are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. Hypothetical performance results are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. Hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. The ability to withstand losses or adhere to a trading program despite trading losses can materially affect actual results. Market conditions and implementation factors can also adversely affect actual trading results.

Testimonials appearing on this website may not be representative of other clients or customers and are not a guarantee of future performance or success. Any paid testimonial will be identified as such.

Virtual Currencies

Virtual-currency trading carries additional risks. Review the CFTC customer advisories before making any trading decision.
