General Trading Risk Disclaimer

es
Futures, stocks and options trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The valuation of futures, stocks and

ic
options may fluctuate, and, as a result, clients may lose more than their original investment. The impact of seasonal and geopolitical events is

rv
already factored into market prices. The highly leveraged nature of futures trading means that small market movements will have a great impact
on your trading account and this can work against you, leading to large losses or can work for you, leading to large gains.

Se
If the market moves against you, you may sustain a total loss greater than the amount you deposited into your account. You are responsible for
all the risks and financial resources you use and for the chosen trading system. You should not engage in trading unless you fully understand
the nature of the transactions you are entering into and the extent of your exposure to loss. If you do not fully understand these risks you must

g
seek independent advice from your financial advisor.

in
All trading strategies are used at your own risk.
Any content on “TTW Trading Services Ltd.” should not be relied upon as advice or construed as providing recommendations of any kind. It is

ad
your responsibility to confirm and decide which trades to make. Trade only with risk capital; that is, trade with money that, if lost, will not
adversely impact your lifestyle and your ability to meet your financial obligations. Past results are no indication of future performance. In no

Tr
event should the content of this correspondence be construed as an express or implied promise or guarantee.
“TTW Trading Services Ltd.” is not responsible for any losses incurred as a result of using any of our trading strategies. Loss-limiting strategies

TW
such as stop loss orders may not be effective because market conditions or technological issues may make it impossible to execute such
orders. Likewise, strategies using combinations of options and/or futures positions such as “spread” or “straddle” trades may be just as risky as
simple long and short positions. Information provided in this correspondence is intended solely for informational purposes and is obtained from
,T
sources believed to be reliable. Information is in no way guaranteed. No guarantee of any kind is implied or possible where projections of future
conditions are attempted.
