Hypothetical
Risk Disclosure
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 IN 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 OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL
TRADING RESULTS.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE
RESULTS.

be aware that other performance methods or reviews for different periods might
produce different results.
These trades were setup per the system and discussed as
"hotpage trades" during 1998. However, the results must
be deemed hypothetical since I did not place all of
the trades personally myself. Therefore, please be advised
that these were discussed and tracked live in the hotpage reports, but to
stay incompliance with law, I must disclose that they were not all
personally taken by myself, this makes them hypothetical ("not
real").
The following are Hypothetical trading results
published in the hotpage reports of 1998.

Hypothetical
or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual
performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also
since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have
under-or-over compensated for the impact if any of certain market factors, such
as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to
the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation
is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses
similar to those shown.
