The risk of loss in trading futures and options can be substantial. Futures and options trading may not be suitable for everyone.
Therefore, you should carefully consider the risks in light of your financial condition in deciding whether to trade.
You may sustain a total loss of the initial margin funds and additional funds that you deposit with your brokers to
establish or maintain a position in the commodity futures market.
