DISCLAIMER ABOUT OUR PUBLISHED TRACK RECORD

A trade, in relation to spreads, is a total of spreads and related roll over operations. Trade entry date: date when an initial position was opened. Trade exit date: date when all open positions were finally closed. Trade profitability is calculated as ratio of the trade’s total credits over total debits. An up-to-date list of open positions is available to all subscribers on the product pages.

Brokers often execute same auto-trading signals differently. We reserve a right to create a separate trade in our trade record in cases like these. It is also quite possible that the same broker executes the same signal differently for two different subscribers. Therefore your performance will inadvertently vary from Site’s official track record and any model portfolio that may be derived from this track record. Additionally, the performance of your individual trades will vary from site’s official track record in case you set allocations other then recommended by site; if you link site’s autotrading signals to an account that holds other securities; conduct trading activity with the account other than through site’s autotrading signals; or cancel the service before trades are closed.
