FOREX and Futures Risk DisclaimerTrading in the off exchange retail foreign currency market or futures markets is one of the riskiest forms of investments available in the financial markets and suitable for sophisticated individuals and institutions. The possibility exists that you could sustain a substantial loss of funds and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. Nothing in this presentation is a recommendation to buy or sell currencies or futures and Timothy Morge is not liable for any loss or damage, including without limitation, any loss of profit, which may arise directly or indirectly from the use of Timothy Morge’s tools or reliance on such information. ResultsPast performance does not guarantee future results.This is one persons experience, your experience may differ.Results are not guaranteed, individual experiences may vary.Market VolatilityIn volatile market conditions, substantial losses may occur.In volatile market conditions, orders may not be filled as placed.LeverageThe leveraged nature of FX trading and Futures trading means that any market movement will have an equally proportional effect on your deposited funds. This may work against you as well as for you. The possibility exists that you could sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and be required to deposit additional funds to maintain your position. If you fail to meet any margin call within the time prescribed, your position will be liquidated and you will be responsible for any resulting losses.

This webcast is dedicated to my two earliestmentors: Ben, a family friend, a very largespeculator in the metals markets and the man thatstarted my trading career; and Amos Hostetter, thefinest ‘Campaign Trader’ in the past three hundredyears, the Co-Founder of Commodities Corporation,a good friend and my teacher.
