Cattle, Crude Oil, Levels, Reports, Highlights; Your 5 Important Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on August 28th, 2025

Bullet Points, Highlights, Announcements

Cattle

By Mark O’ Brien, Senior Broker

cattle

General:

Within the last 12 months the futures markets have seen an impressive list of bullish moves up to all-time record highs:

Stock indexes, i.e., YM (Aug.): ±45,840

Gold (April): ±3,485/oz.

Copper (July): ±$5.89/lb.

Coffee (Feb.): ±$4.40/lb.

Bitcoin: (Aug.) ±$125,200

Cocoa (Dec. ’24) ±$12,931/metric ton

Orange juice (Sept. ’24): ± $5.89/lb.

Yet maybe the most dynamic futures market moves to all-time record highs – traded up to that level just today – can be seen in the Live Cattle and Feeder Cattle futures contracts. Since the first of the year, the two current front month futures contracts – Aug. – have made ±30% and ±26% price gains representing ±$23K and ±$48K per contract moves, respectively.

On the fundamental front, U.S. cattle inventories have plunged to their lowest levels since the early 1950s. As of this year, inventories are at or near 86 million head – the lowest in over 70 years. It has also been exceptionally dry across the heartland in recent years which has limited grazing acreage for cattle. Adding to these conditions, there is currently a ban on all cattle imports from Mexico due to the spread in that country of a devastating livestock pest called New World screwworm. Mexico is a leading source of cattle imports to meet U.S. beef demand, along with Canada.

There seems to be no real signs of stopping. Herd rebuilding takes years, not months and with herd sizes hitting multi-decade lows and producers cautious, supply won’t rebound quicky. Even if pasture conditions improve and ranchers begin to retain heifers to rebuild herds, analysts expect tight supply conditions will persist for several years.

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
  • Trump Tarriff News, anything goes

NVDIA Earnings, Fed Watch Pointing to Lower rates, Slew of Economic Data

NVDIA will report earnings next week, 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.

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 in September. (BTW, did you know there are more economists employed by the Federal Reserve Bank than there are stocks in the S&P 500?)

The last 3 Fed Rate reductions were 9/2024 when the rate of inflation as measured by CPI was 2.9 the month prior. (High) Rate moved down ½ bps. Next, 11/2024 when the prior month CPI was 2.6. (Better) Rate moved down ¼ bps. Finally, 12/2024 when the prior month CPI was 2.7. (Same as the past 2 months) Rate was reduced by the fed an additional ¼ bps.

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)

Remember to zoom out when reading your intraday time frame charts to daily and weekly time frames. December Gold is still rangebound! 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.

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.

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.

Volatility, December Oats, Levels, Reports; Your 4 Important Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on August 19th, 2025

9dc1e02e d5f7 4ff4 abf7 1df60775f196

Volatility

Quiet Start to the Week—Volatility Ahead with Powell & PMI

volatility

️ Monday Market Brief – August 18, 2025

Low Volume, Calm Waters… Before the Storm?

Today’s trading session opened with notably light volume across major asset classes—a familiar rhythm for an August Monday. With many market participants still in vacation mode and key macro events on the horizon, it’s no surprise we’re seeing range-bound price action and muted volatility.

That calm won’t last long. By Thursday, the tempo is expected to shift dramatically as a wave of economic data hits the tape. PMI reports and the Philadelphia Fed survey will headline the day, offering fresh clues on growth and inflation trends. Then on Friday, all eyes will turn to Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks following the Jackson Hole symposium—a moment that often sets the tone for monetary policy heading into Q4.

 Trading Insight

Recognizing the type of day ahead—like today’s low-volatility, sideways grind—can dramatically improve your tactical edge. In environments like this, fading the extremes of volume or volatility bands (buying the lows, selling the highs) tends to outperform breakout strategies. Of course, it’s always easier to see the ideal play in hindsight—but developing that intraday awareness is a skill worth sharpening.

Stay nimble, stay curious, and keep your powder dry for the back half of the week.

Joseph Easton, breaks down trading options in ten easy steps.

December Oats

December oats are showing some stability after satisfying their second downside PriceCount objective earlier this month. At this point, IF the chart can sustain further weakness, the third count would project a possible run to the $3.18 area which is consistent with a test of the contract low.

And that’s December Oats for you, Traders! Make it a great trading week!

The Growing Relevance of Futures Options Brokers in Modern Trading

In today’s rapidly evolving financial landscape, the role of a futures options broker has become more critical than ever. With the explosion of algorithmic and AI-powered futures options trading platforms, more traders—from retail to institutional—are seeking experienced and technologically advanced brokerages to help navigate the complexities of commodities trading and speculative derivatives. This is where brokerage services like E-Futures.com shine, delivering unparalleled expertise, reliability, and technological edge through their top-tier platform, CannonX powered by CQG.

To understand what makes a futures broker options provider like E-Futures.com exceptional in 2025, we must first explore the historical development of futures options trading, including the pivotal moments and individuals that shaped the speculative markets we know today.

Historical Origins of Options in Speculation and Commodity Markets

Ancient Roots of Options Trading

Though futures options trading may seem like a product of modern finance, its roots stretch back thousands of years. One of the earliest known uses of options-like contracts occurred in ancient Greece. The philosopher Thales of Miletus reportedly used early options contracts to secure the rights to olive presses in advance of harvest, anticipating high demand. This speculative use of future rights demonstrated the powerful concept of leveraging predictions about future value.

The concept resurfaced in early Japanese rice markets in the 1600s. The Dojima Rice Exchange in Osaka became the world’s first formal commodity trading exchange, where merchants employed forward contracts and proto-options to hedge against price fluctuations. These mechanisms were vital in establishing confidence and liquidity in agricultural markets—principles that remain foundational to futures options trading today.

The Birth of Modern Futures and Options Markets

The modern era of commodities trading began with the founding of the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) in 1848. Initially focusing on agricultural futures contracts, the CBOT provided a formalized structure to a previously informal network of spot trading and forward agreements. Traders could now lock in prices for commodities like corn and wheat, reducing exposure to volatility.

By the 1970s, the CBOT and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) began introducing standardized futures options trading contracts. These contracts allowed speculators to trade options on futures contracts themselves—a significant leap in market complexity and flexibility.

The 1973 introduction of options on futures was revolutionary, enabling traders to control leveraged positions in commodities with reduced upfront capital and predefined risk. This development transformed how both hedgers and speculators approached the market.

Key Innovators Behind Futures Options Trading

Fischer Black and Myron Scholes

The creation of the Black-Scholes model in 1973 by Fischer Black and Myron Scholes—later extended by Robert Merton—provided the mathematical foundation for pricing options. Their work enabled market participants to determine fair values for options based on volatility, time to expiration, and interest rates.

This pricing model, while initially developed for stock options, was quickly adapted for futures options trading, fueling the growth of options markets globally. Their work earned Scholes and Merton a Nobel Prize in Economics (Fischer Black died before he could be awarded).

Leo Melamed and the CME

Leo Melamed, a former chairman of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, was instrumental in transforming Chicago into the global hub of commodity trading innovation. Under his leadership, the CME launched the International Monetary Market and introduced financial futures, including options on currency and interest rate futures.

Melamed was a strong advocate for electronic trading and helped lay the groundwork for today’s high-speed futures options trading platforms. His vision of global access, market transparency, and trader education still informs how brokerages like E-Futures.com operate.

The Role of Regulation

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) was created in 1974 to regulate the U.S. derivatives markets, followed by the National Futures Association (NFA) in 1982. These organizations provided crucial oversight and investor protection, helping to legitimize futures broker options services and foster trust in the emerging industry.

Today’s Futures brokers USA, including E-Futures.com, operate under these regulatory bodies, ensuring that traders are protected and markets remain transparent.

NFP Tomorrow, September Dollar Index, Levels, Reports; Your 4 Crucial Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on August 1st, 2025

9dc1e02e d5f7 4ff4 abf7 1df60775f196

NFP Tomorrow

By Ilan Levy-Mayer, VP

nfp

Prepare for Tomorrow’s First Friday: NFP Meets Month-Start Volume

Tomorrow marks the first Friday of the month, which means two things for futures and FX traders: the release of the U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report and the natural volume uptick that often comes with month-beginning flows. Combining a high-impact economic release with typically heavier order flow sets the stage for elevated volatility—and potential opportunity.

Why NFP Drives Volatility

– The headline jobs number and the unemployment rate are among the most influential data points for Fed policy expectations.

– Surprises (even by a few thousand jobs) can trigger immediate swings in stock index futures, Treasury futures, FX and commodities.

– High-frequency and algorithmic traders often reload positions right before and after the print, amplifying short-term moves.

Month-Start Volume Patterns

– Corporate and institutional managers adjust exposures at month boundaries, generating extra order flow in equity and bond futures.

– Portfolio rebalancing, pension contributions, and cash withdrawals/additions create natural buy/sell pressure.

– Combining these flows with an NFP release can lead to deeper liquidity pockets—but also faster fills and bigger gaps.

Key Trading Considerations

1. Pre-print positioning

– Lighten large directional bets ahead of the 8:30 am Eastern release.

– Identify key levels (prior-month high/low, round numbers) to bracket potential moves.

2. Execution tools

– Use volume- or range-bar charts to filter noise during rapid price swings.

– Consider spread or straddle strategies to capture volatility without outright directional risk.

3. Risk management

– Widen initial stops to account for wider spreads and slippage.

– Trade smaller size or switch to highly liquid markets (e.g., E-mini S&P, 30-year bonds) if you’re concerned about whipsaw.

Action Plan for Tomorrow

– Monitor the Atlanta Fed’s jobs tracker and ADP release for hints of the NFP surprise factor.

– Set alerts at your chosen intraday levels and be ready to step aside if the market action outpaces your risk limits.

– After the print, watch volume‐profile clusters for early signs of trend continuation or exhaustion.

Tomorrow’s convergence of NFP data and month-start flows often produces some of the liveliest—and most tradable (riskier?)—sessions of the calendar. Prepare your playbook, mind your risk, and get ready to capture high-probability setups. Good luck!

September Dollar Index

The September dollar index found stability earlier this month and now it has activated upside PriceCount objectives on the correction. The first count projects a possible run to the 100.58 area.

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

Trading in futures, options, securities, derivatives or OTC products entails significant risks which must be understood prior to trading and may not be appropriate for all investors. Past performance of actual trades or strategies is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Corn, Soybean, Copper, Crude Oil; Your 4 Important Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on July 31st, 2025

9dc1e02e d5f7 4ff4 abf7 1df60775f196

Corn

Bullet Points, Highlights, Announcements

By Mark O’ Brien, Senior Broker

corn

General:

The Federal Reserve held rates steady for a fifth straight meeting today but faced rare dissents from two officials seeking an immediate cut. Officials maintained their benchmark policy rate in a range between 4.25% and 4.5%. Dissent came from two Fed governors and marks the first meeting since 2020 in which more than one Fed official voted differently than chair Powell, and the first since 1993 in which more than one board governor dissented.

Grains: Soybean, Corn

Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures fell for the fourth consecutive session today, dragged down by favorable weather across the U.S. Midwest and sluggish export demand, analysts said. Weighing on prices were forecasts for cooler temperatures and periodic rainfall in the U.S. Midwest, bolstering expectations for big U.S. soy and corn harvests. Prior to tomorrow’s First Notice Day for the contract, August futures touched $9.77 3/4 per bushel, its lowest price of the year. Sept. corn futures matched yesterday’s intraday low of $3.87 3/4 per bushel, nearly a 2-year low.

Energy: Crude Oil

Crude futures rose for the third day, buoyed by concerns U.S. sanctions could reduce flows of Russian crude, optimism over trade deals such as those with the EU and Japan.

Focus ahead will be on the weekend meeting where OPEC+ will determine September output levels. The September West Texas futures contract on the NYMEX traded above $70/barrel for the first time since June 23, a ±$5.00/barrel in three trading sessions, equal to a $5,000 per contract move.

Metals: Copper

Last week, copper futures hit a new record high with the front month September contract trading to $5.9585/lb. Today, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a proclamation ordering 50% tariffs on certain copper imports, citing national security. However, the levies applied only to semi-finished products, such as copper pipes and wires and so-called derivate products such as pipe fittings and cables. It excluded refined materials such as copper ores and concentrates. Reacting to the anticipated limited impact on the base metal, September copper futures plunged over $1.20/lb. to below $4.60/lb. – a ±19% drubbing and a ±$30,000 per contract move for the contract, the largest single-day decline since 1989.

December Corn

December Corn is testing support against the contract low and key reversal. If violated, new sustained lows would project a potential slide to the third PriceCount objective to the $3.88 area.

Crude Oil, The Dollar, FOMC, September KC Wheat, Levels, Reports; Your 6 Crucial Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on July 30th, 2025

9dc1e02e d5f7 4ff4 abf7 1df60775f196

Dollar Strength, Crude Oil Rally’s hard, FOMC tomorrow

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

crude oil

The Federal Reserve is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged at its meeting tomorrow, July 30, 2025. Market analysts and interest rate traders currently assign a very high probability—over 95%- a pause, with no rate hike or cut anticipated at this meeting.

Economists are expecting the first look at US 2Q 2025 GDP to show the economy grew by +2.4% on quarter over quarter terms, if realized that would be up from the final 1Q report -0.5% contraction. The advanced 2Q 2025 chain weighted price index is expected up +2.3%, and compares with the final 1Q report, up +3.8%. The data will be released at 7:30 am CT Wednesday morning.

The Crude market rally’s hard today on news Trump threatens 100% tariff on China if it continues to buy Russian crude oil. Front month September +$2.77 as of this writing. $2700.00 per contract. Crude has rallied nearly $5.00 bbl since the opening of Sunday evenings session. Yesterday’s OPEC+ maintained its current oil output policy at the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) meeting, with no changes to production plans.

The JMMC (Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee) emphasized the critical importance of full conformity with agreed production levels, noting uneven compliance among some members.

The US Dollar may have bottomed in the short term as the past week we have seen signs of life. A 2.5% rally from the July 1 lows. The awakening of the dollar is not bullish for our export markets.

Tomorrow:

Econ Data:  GDP, FOMC Rate decision, EIA Crude Stocks, Beige book

FED:  Rate decision @ 1:00pm, followed by 1:30 press conference.

Earnings:  Qualcomm, Meta, Microsoft

Tariff news:   Anything goes!

Building a Trading Plan

He who fails to plan is planning to fail” -Winston Churchill

Traders who win consistently treat trading as a business. While there is no guarantee that you will make money, developing a trading plan is crucial if you want to become consistently successful and thrive in the trading game. Every trader—no matter your experience—needs a plan.

Why are you here?

  • You want to know what constitutes a trading plan
  • You realize you need a trading plan
  • You want to be successful at futures trading

You’re in the right place for any those objectives. At the end of this course, you’ll understand why you need a trading plan and how to build one to support your success as a futures trader.

What is a trading plan?

A trading plan is a business plan for your trading career. Like any business plan, a trading plan is a working document in which you make assumptions about projected costs, revenues, and business conditions. Some of your assumptions may be right, some will surely be wrong. You wouldn’t start a business without a business plan, so why would you start trading without a trading plan?

The real value in writing a trading plan is that it forces you to think about every part of your trading business, including confronting your strengths and weaknesses, and formulating reasonable expectations.

Any solid trading plan consists of the following five components. There are no shortcuts to developing a trading plan that will support your objectives. Take the time now to think about each of these components thoroughly and you will thank yourself later.

  1. Objective
  2. Methodology
  3. Risk Management

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.
