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 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.

Brian's trading record began with the release of Wealth Secrets: CONFIDENTIAL in June 1999...a comprehensive study "blueprinting" Brian's trend-following techniques!
| The trading record for the current
month is updated daily for my
personal clients. The additional historical records are listed so that
you may review the monthly volatility in these markets. Please review
these records carefully and consider both profits and losses before making
any trading decisions.
The individual market entry and exit points are posted daily in my "Trading Plan for
Tomorrow" individual email and
member's website access. The trading record assumes that all of the signals listed in my trading plan for tomorrow are taken. I do not, however, suggest that a trader necessarily be positioned in the marketplace at all times. Please consider my trading charts and market commentary, the trading plan for tomorrow, and your own personal tolerance for risk, and then compare my trading results with yours. As you will see, the margin requirement to trade a single contract is listed next to the individual commodity (as of 2008, this is not valid as margin requirements change much too frequently). Although the brokerage firm requires that amount set aside in a trading account, I personally recommend four times that amount in available account equity for money-management purposes. However, if taking trades only WITH the trend, three times the initial margin is acceptable. Trading results do not include the initial margin deposit and illustrate any profit/(loss) totals for each month and year-to-date. Results for all profits /losses must be considered hypothetical and listed for each individual commodity. Results do not include commissions / fees, and slippage. |
