Price Extremes

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

price

General:

Day 15 of the U.S Government shutdown.

Stock Index Futures:

Dec. stock index futures returned to solid gains late today as markets remained alert over US-China trade tensions and amid hopes for interest rate cuts and strong quarterly earnings results from Wall Street banks. Traders have cemented bets on a rate cut later this month, and odds of a rate cut in December have jumped in recent days to around 96% according to the CME Group FedWatch tool:

Prices Metals:

It’s the broken record metals report. Dec. gold futures rose to new all-time highs today – its 47th new record of the year – trading up to $4,235.80/ounce intraday.

Alongside gold, Dec. silver rocketed up nearly $2.00/oz. today to set its own all-time record high, trading intraday up to $52.55/ounce. This after yesterday when the contract took out a 45-year-old record closing price of $48.70/ounce, during the time when the Hunt brothers tried to corner the market.

Prices Energies:

November crude oil futures have remained on their lows this week – with a new multi-month intraday low of $58.20/barrel on continued concerns about oversupply and the possible impact on demand of rekindled U.S.-China trade tensions – its fourth day in a row closing below $60/barrel.

Livestock:

Dec. live cattle and Jan. feeder cattle both closed little changed today and within pennies of their own all-time record high closing prices at the close of trading yesterday. Tight supplies and strong feeder markets pushed cash cattle higher and the futures markets followed suit. The supply of cattle has lingered at a near 75-year low, with the closure of the US-Mexico border to Mexican cattle imports further constraining an already tight supply.

December KC Wheat

December KC wheat satisfied its third downside PriceCount objective and reacted with a key reversal higher. It would be normal to get a mean reversion from this level in the form of a consolidation or corrective phase, at least. If the chart can sustain further weakness, we are left with the low percentage fourth count to aim for in the $4.37 area. That we trade down to this level is a realistic target although we have traded that low just 5 years ago.

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved.

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend.

Crypto Trading, December Dollar Index, Levels, Reports; Your 4 Important Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on October 9th, 2025

Around the Clock Crypto Futures Trading Ahead

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

crypto

General: Crypto Trading Round-The-Clock

Big news. CME Group, the world’s largest derivatives marketplace, plans to offer customers round-the-clock trading for its cryptocurrency products next year.

The timetable anticipates 24/7 trading of futures and options starting in early 2026. Currently this will cover the CME Group’s main offerings in Bitcoin and Ethereum, but starting Oct. 13, they will be joined by Solana and XRP derivatives.

Trading in cryptocurrency derivatives has been growing steadily since CME first offered Bitcoin futures in 2017. Notional open interest, which represents the outstanding value of contracts, reached a record $39 billion in mid-September.

All-hours access lets investors respond to price swings in real time, which could add additional legitimacy and liquidity to these digital assets.

Stock Index Futures:

The Dec. E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini Nasdaq futures contracts traded to new all-time record highs intraday today. Volume has tended to be lighter on this the sixth day of the U.S. government shutdown.

Traders have been negligibly on edge at these highs with some uncertainty about the U.S. shutdown, the state of the jobs market and the delay of scheduled releases of U.S. government economic reports.

Looking elsewhere for clues on the U.S. jobs front, last week a report from global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas indicated U.S. employers announced fewer layoffs in September but hiring plans so far this year were the lowest since 2009. It came a day after a weaker-than-expected ADP National Employment Report.

Metals:

Dec. gold futures rose to new all-time highs for the sixth of seven trading sessions today, barreling through yesterday’s first move through $4,000 per ounce to trade intraday up to $4,081 per ounce, a $76.6 per ounce follow-through move.

Gold and silver futures have surged roughly 55% and 65% year to date, respectively, as expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts have boosted the appeal of metals, which tend to perform better when interest rates are lower.

Energies:

Despite today’s report that U.S. crude oil inventories rose more than expected last week, crude oil futures oil futures staged a modest recovery today after last week’s decline to a 16-week low as the U.S. government shutdown fed worries about the global economy, while traders expected more oil supply to come on the market with the planned output boost announced by OPEC+ over the weekend.

December Dollar Index

The December dollar index broke out into a new high and completed its first upside PriceCount objective. It would be normal to get a near term reaction from this level in the form of a consolidation or corrective trade. If the chart can sustain further strength, the second count projects a possible run to the 99.60 area, consistent with a challenge of the August reversal high.

Fed Speakers & PCE to Dominate the Week Ahead

fed speakers

Fed Chair Powell to speak in Warwick, RI Wednesday, Heavy week of Fed speakers as well.

The Spice you should be ordering now that Fall is right around the corner should be anything but the pumpkin variety!

The spice building into these markets is what traders look for, Volume is back and so is volatility on many fronts.

With the FOMC meeting behind us, listen for more nuanced language, outside of the 3 cuts prior to years end, Chair Powell shared during after his rate cut speech Wednesday. You will be hearing from a slew of Fed Speakers posting up this week (schedule is below). This unit by themselves, will, no doubt be responsible for bringing additional spice to the marketplace

Those trading markets other than the indices understand rates effect nearly all the markets we trade. To name a few: precious metals (inflation), Bonds (long term rates following short term to varying degrees), the energy complex (cheaper capital higher demand), Equities (cheaper capital), Currencies (capital flows out of US dollar denominated assets to higher interest rate debentures) Grains, Lumber, etc.

           As for earnings reports we are truly at the end of Q2 Reporting. We have but a few laggards reporting this week

The on again off again nature of Tariff news has created golden opportunities for breakouts in some markets, rangebound trades in others. The market is just bored with the talk about Russia/Ukraine war cessation, until there is major movement, looks like it’s all up to Putin to move the needle.

Continued volatility to come as next week all markets will be reacting to whatever comes out of U.S. Govt leadership relating to conflicts cessation and trade deals, especially with China great talks with XI and Trump tda, India, Canada and Russia. Also, remember that Mexico’s extension will end October 29.

IMPORTANT RISK DISCLOSURE

Futures trading is complex and carries the risk of substantial losses. It is not suitable for all investors. The ability to withstand losses and to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can adversely affect investor returns.

The returns for trading systems listed throughout this website are hypothetical in that they represent returns in a model account. The model account rises or falls by the average single contract profit and loss achieved by clients trading actual money pursuant to the listed system’s trading signals on the appropriate dates (client fills), or if no actual client profit or loss available – by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by the system’s trading signals on that day in real time (real-time) less slippage, or if no real time profit or loss available – by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by running the system logic backwards on backadjusted data (backadjusted).

Please read carefully the CFTC required disclaimer regarding hypothetical results below. 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 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 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 WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.

Important Notices: The Week Ahead

Labor Day, Non Farm Payrolls

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

Labor Day

Abbreviated Futures Market hours on Labor Day (Labor Day Schedule), Non Farm Payroll Friday, EIA Statistics for Crude and Natural Gas will be released Thursday due to the Holiday.

A heavy dose of economic data points will be released next week providing plenty of food for thought to chew on for the fed voting members as they continue to assess whether a freeze on Fed Funds or a reduction of .25 to .50 is the best medicine for the economy when they announce a rate decision September 20th.

CME FedWatch tool has the probability of a Fed Fund rate reduction on Sep 20th at 89.2 %, 10.8% chance of no reduction. This is a 30+ percentage point improvement from 1 month ago. The purpose of markets is to take in all information and adjust price according to that information.

Markets have already priced in this probability so it’s important to watch these numbers to see how the markets react today to these probabilities changing,  I am talking about Precious metals (inflation), Bonds (long term rates following short term to varying degrees), the energy complex (cheaper capital higher demand), Equities (cheaper capital), Currencies (capital flows out of US dollar denominated assets to higher interest rate debentures)

The on again off again nature of Tariff and Russia/Ukraine war talks has created golden opportunities for breakouts in some markets, rangebound trades in others. (see gold commentary below)  Crude Oil is knocking on the ceiling of it’s range near $65.00 bbl.

Remember to zoom out when reading your intraday time frame charts to daily and weekly time frames. December Gold is still rangebound! High end of the range this week trading above $3500.00 for the first time since august 8th. Last week I wrote this:  This week, the psychological low was challenged in the 3350.00 area basis December and bounced, as of this writing, current price is 3420.00. Three weeks ago, I wrote this: Watch for the gold market to maintain its rangebound stance, close below 3350 (basis December) or above 3500 should denote a breakout, begin trading the December(Z) contract next week.

Two weeks ago, I wrote:  Dec gold traded below 3350 today and the past three days but never closed meaningfully below 3350.0 (3348.60 Thurs.) Today we have breached $3500.00 oz with a high in the $3543.00 area per oz. while currently trading @$3493.00 oz as of this writing. Look for a close above $3500.00 on successive days to again accumulate longs.

This may be the break from this range we are looking for. Manage your downside risk according to your account size, risk no more than 15-20% whether with options or futures.   Today, August 15th as of this writing that 3500.00 oz did not hold, always wait for confirmation prior to taking a position, several consecutive closes above or below a range is a start. We are teasing the bottom of the range today Dec gold in the 3380’s, I see psychological support @ 3350.00 

Continued volatility to come as next week all markets will be reacting to whatever comes out of U.S. Govt leadership relating to conflicts cessation and trade deals, especially with China, India, Canada and Russia. Also, remember that Mexico’s extension will end October 29.

We’ll see you next week! Please enjoy a safe and memorable weekend.

Using Fundamental Analysis When Evaluating Trades

Course Overview

Fundamental analysis is the process of determining the model price of a futures contract, now and in the future, using factors like economic data and industry financial conditions. A trader using fundamental analysis to inform their decisions is looking at how supply and demand could move price, now and in the future. The type of information a trader will use to formulate their opinions will differ across products, in this course we’ll look at each class of products and cover some of the variables that could impact price.

NVDIA, December Corn, Levels, Reports – even Kelce/Swift! Your 5 Important News for Trading Futures on August 27th, 2025

9dc1e02e d5f7 4ff4 abf7 1df60775f196

Dog Days of August and

Travis Kelce/ Taylor Swift are getting hitched!

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

Markets Ease After Friday’s Surge

S

nvdia

What does the Redbook, Case Shiller Home Price Index, CB Consumer Confidence, Richmond Fed Svc and Mfg. Index, Dallas Fed Svc. index and the announcement of the Swift / Kelce nuptials have in common?

I am sure you are glad I asked, “They have everything in common with each other.” The markets failed to move on any of the breaking economic releases and celebrity gossip columns today.

For the Equity index markets, this is typical behavior at the end of the dog days of summer.

Low Volume, low energy. It seems like last Friday’s rally was months ago. And then? There is NVDIA.

Earnings will be released tomorrow after the NYSE close for NVDIA. The star AI Chipmaker EPS estimate is 1.01 usd with Revenues @ 45.94B usd. This 4.34 trillion market cap. company’s Q2 release and future guidance will move the Equity indexes after Wednesday’s NYSE cash market close and perhaps deep into Thursday’s trading session.

Below are the last few high-profile quarters and how NQ futures reacted in the hours after

results hit:

  • Feb 2024: NVDIA crushed expectations; Nasdaq futures jumped nearly ~2% overnight.
  • May 2024: NVDIA beat and guided strong; Nasdaq/S&P 500 hit intraday records the next session (futures were bid after the print).
  • Aug 2024: NVDIA beat, but guidance/GM underwhelmed lofty expectations; Nasdaq 100 E-mini futures were flat to slightly down (around –0.1% to –0.7%) that night/morning.
  • Feb 2025: Heading into results, NVDIA was the market focus; stock-index futures led gains as the print eased some AI demand fears (positive lean for Nasdaq futures).

Pattern: when NVDA positively surprises NQ futures usually pop; when results meet but don’t wow—or guidance suggests doubt—NQ futures are flat/down. This is consistent with NVDIA’s outsized weight in the Nasdaq-100 and its role as the AI bellwether. The NFL is 2 weeks away.

  • Earnings tomorrow NVDIA and Crowdstrike
  • Fed Speaker: Wed.  9:45 am Barkin.
  • Wed.  EIA Crude Stocks, 17-week Bill auction

Micro XRP Futures; Your 8 Important Need-To-Knows for Trading Micro XRP Futures

Cannon Trading Final v2

Micro XRP Futures

trustpilot 250731micro xrp futures

The world of digital assets continues to evolve, and among the key innovations driving trader interest in 2025 is the emergence and growing popularity of micro XRP futures. As a smaller contract size of the more traditional XRP futures, micro XRP futures allow traders to access this fast-moving asset class with lower capital requirements, increased flexibility, and hedging precision. In the last two trimesters of 2025—covering the months of May through December—market watchers are keen to anticipate price trajectories, macroeconomic impacts, and the infrastructure supporting this segment.

In this in-depth article, we’ll explore what traders can expect from micro XRP futures in the remainder of 2025, delve into micro XRP futures price dynamics, and illustrate why Cannon Trading Company stands as one of the best futures brokers in the U.S. for those involved in trading futures—particularly digital asset derivatives.

Understanding Micro XRP Futures: A Strategic Gateway to Digital Asset Derivatives

Before diving into forecast-based analysis, it’s essential to understand what micro XRP futures are and why they matter. Micro futures contracts are smaller versions of standard futures—often just 1/10th the size—which allow traders to manage exposure in a more controlled manner. In the case of micro XRP futures, these contracts allow speculators and hedgers to track XRP’s price movement without having to commit to the larger notional value of traditional XRP futures.

These contracts are particularly attractive for retail traders and institutions looking to fine-tune their strategies. With increased volatility in the digital asset space and growing adoption of XRP in international remittances and banking systems, micro XRP futures present an effective, capital-efficient trading tool.

The Second Two Trimesters of 2025: What Traders Can Expect

The remaining two trimesters of 2025—Q3 (July through September) and Q4 (October through December)—will be critical periods for XRP and by extension, micro XRP futures. Several macroeconomic, regulatory, and technical factors are likely to play significant roles.

  1. Ripple’s Expanding Use Case and Institutional Interest

Ripple Labs, the company behind XRP, continues to expand its partnerships with financial institutions across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. By mid-2025, announcements regarding adoption of XRP for cross-border settlements and treasury management are expected to intensify. These developments will likely stimulate upward pressure on the micro XRP futures price, especially as institutional participation grows.

Institutional investors typically use futures contracts to hedge risk or gain leveraged exposure, and the availability of micro contracts allows even smaller institutions or sophisticated retail traders to follow suit. Expect volume in micro XRP futures to increase in parallel with the announcement of such partnerships.

  1. U.S. Regulatory Landscape and Clarity on XRP Classification

One of the main points of contention in the crypto space has been regulatory clarity. XRP has been at the center of legal and regulatory scrutiny for several years, particularly involving the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, as we move through 2025, there are expectations of finalized legislation around digital asset classification in the United States.

If XRP receives a formal designation as a commodity or a digital payment token, this could create positive momentum in the market. That kind of certainty would bolster trader confidence, increase institutional involvement, and potentially drive micro XRP futures prices higher in the last half of the year.

  1. Technical Analysis and XRP Price Trends

XRP entered 2025 with a moderate upward trend, building upon a strong Q4 in 2024. After a brief consolidation in Q2 2025, technical analysts expect a breakout pattern in Q3 based on symmetrical triangle formations and increasing trade volume.

As XRP’s spot price aims for the $1.50–$1.75 resistance zones by late Q3, micro XRP futures are likely to show significant price responsiveness. Traders involved in trading futures will need to watch closely for short-term volatility spikes, likely driven by speculative volume and news cycles. Precise entry and exit points will become crucial, and utilizing the flexibility of micro contracts will allow for tighter risk controls.

  1. Macro Influences: Fed Policy, Inflation, and Risk Appetite

The U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate policies and inflation data remain pivotal to all financial instruments, including crypto-based futures. If the Fed leans toward dovish policies in Q3 and Q4 2025, risk-on assets like XRP could experience tailwinds. That would reflect positively on micro XRP futures price movement as well.

Moreover, growing risk appetite due to a softer dollar and improving economic indicators may lead to broader participation in the futures trading space, including alternative digital assets like XRP. Micro contracts will serve as the gateway product for this fresh influx of interest.

FOMC Minutes Tomorrow & Gold Bear Put Spread Insight

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

fomc

Markets have been calm so far this week (FOMC Minutes tomorrow)

What goes up must come down?

Does Newtons law of Gravity capsulized by the quote” what goes up, must come down” apply metaphorically to prices on assets? this quote reminds us of the inherent predictability and order found in nature by earths gravitational pull.

The question becomes, what pulls asset prices down? and how does the investor protect or benefit from forces pulling prices down?

Since the forces pushing prices of assets lower are much harder to determine than a simple law like gravitational pull without doubt make what goes up must come down a truest statement, that doesn’t mean we can’t protect our investments or even benefit from selloffs of commodities, equities and other assets we hold.

Gold will be a good example to explain 2 common risk management strategies since this asset has been range bound for some time now, having become comfortable in a relatively narrow price range since Memorial Day after a runup to start the year.

One report indicates that gold opened at $2,633 per ounce on January 2, 2025, and as of August 15, 2025, it was trading around $3,383 per ounce, marking a 24.9% increase,

Protecting your long gold futures contracts, GLD ETF or your personal gold stash you can use futures options as an insurance policy to cover your downside risk.

You believe the price of gold is ready to fall on a breakout to the downside. You can buy Comex Gold Puts. How Gold Puts Work:

Buying a Put

  • You buy a gold put option when you expect gold prices to fall.
  • The put gains value as gold declines.
  • If gold drops below the strike price, you can:
  1. Sell the put at a profit, or
  2. Exercise it to take a short position in gold futures at the strike price.

Gold option premiums consist of intrinsic value and time value:

Premium=Intrinsic Value+Time Value\text{Premium} = \text{Intrinsic Value} + \text{Time Value}Premium=Intrinsic Value+Time Value

  • Intrinsic Value = Max(Strike − Futures Price, 0)
  • Time Value = Based on volatility, time to expiration, and interest rates

For example:

If gold = $3380.00 and your put strike = $3400.00:

  • Intrinsic = $20
  • If option trades at $28 → Time Value = $8

A bear put spread is an options strategy used when you expect the price of gold to decline moderately.

You buy a put option (higher strike) and sell a put option (lower strike) with the same expiration date.

  • The long put gives you downside profit potential.
  • The short put helps reduce the cost of the trade.
  • This caps both your risk and your max profit.

Dec. Cocoa

December cocoa completed its first upside PriceCount objective and is correcting lower. IF the chart can resume its rally with new sustained highs, the second count would project a possible run to the 9379 area. It takes a trade above the June reactionary high to formally negate the remaining unmet downside objectives

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved.

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk. Learn more at www.qtchartoftheday.com

Important Notices: The Week Ahead

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

Heavy Earnings reports, a bit over 13000 reports.

Tariff impacts are creating volatility in commodity markets (industrial metals, Orange Juice, Coffee, Grains) look for news about China, Canada and Mexico Tariffs in addition to those already discussed, it seems the markets are moving to the changes in prospects for signed deals. The on again off again nature of the talks has created golden opportunities for breakouts in some markets, rangebound trades in others.

Remember that current market drivers for Equities are hard data on Jobs, Inflation, Trump tweets and Geopolitics. Last week I wrote this: Watch for the gold market to maintain its rangebound stance, close below 3350 (basis December) or above 3500 should denote a breakout, begin trading the December(Z) contract next week.

Dec gold traded below 3350 today and the past three days but never closed meaningfully below 3350.0 (3348.60 Thurs.) trading above 3400 today with the Dollar index taking a strong retreat today with last night’s tariff news.

Continued volatility to come as next week all markets will be reacting to whatever comes out of Big Earnings, U.S. Govt leadership relating to conflicts cessation and trade deals, especially with China, Canada (35% as of last night, subject to change) and Mexico (current 90-day extension).

IMPORTANT RISK DISCLOSURE

Futures trading is complex and carries the risk of substantial losses. It is not suitable for all investors. The ability to withstand losses and to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can adversely affect investor returns.

The returns for trading systems listed throughout this website are hypothetical in that they represent returns in a model account. The model account rises or falls by the average single contract profit and loss achieved by clients trading actual money pursuant to the listed system’s trading signals on the appropriate dates (client fills), or if no actual client profit or loss available – by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by the system’s trading signals on that day in real time (real-time) less slippage, or if no real time profit or loss available – by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by running the system logic backwards on backadjusted data (backadjusted).

Please read carefully the CFTC required disclaimer regarding hypothetical results below. 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 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 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 WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
