Comprehensive Risk Warning Statement for Global Online Lecture Series

Risk Disclosure:

Trading in futures, options, and other financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage often obtainable in commodity futures, options, forex trading, and derivatives can 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 requirement, your position may be liquidated and you will be responsible for any resulting losses.

Investors may lower their exposure to risk by employing risk-reducing strategies such as ‘stop-loss’ or ‘stop-limit’ orders, but such orders may not necessarily limit losses to the intended amounts. Certain market conditions could make it impossible to execute such orders. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading on margin, and you are encouraged to seek advice from an independent financial advisor.

CFTC and NFA Requirements:

As per the guidelines set by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association (NFA), it is required that prospective clients be aware of the risks involved with trading futures, commodities, and other financial products. As mandated, all traders must be shown this risk disclosure statement to make them aware of the possible financial risks.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike actual performance records, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not 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. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. Hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading.

Execution Factors:

Be advised that different platforms may have different levels of execution speed and quality. Slippage, market volatility, and platform errors could result in trades, and prices that vary significantly from your expectations.

Additional Risks and Disclosures:

Investing in the derivatives markets carries a level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. Leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite.

Additional Disclosure for Global Accountancy Institute, Inc. and Global Financial Engineering, Inc.

Unique Business Model:

At Global Accountancy Institute, Inc., and Global Financial Engineering, Inc., we prioritize a distinctive approach to trading by operating as a Global Multi-Asset Class Professional Proprietary Trading Firm. Unlike traditional financial service providers, we do not engage with the general public nor offer any products or services outside of our internal operations. Furthermore, we do not accept clients or external funds, ensuring our activities remain exclusive to our in-house strategies.

Self-Sufficient Business Model:

  • Operational Independence: By trading on our own account and utilizing solely our own capital, we maintain complete autonomy over our financial decisions. This self-sufficient model exempts us from the need to meet external client expectations or manage client-induced risk factors.
  • Simplified Operations: Without the external pressures of client satisfaction and compliance, our operations are streamlined, allowing us to respond more agilely to market conditions.
  • Strategic Freedom: The freedom to execute our own strategies without external interference aligns perfectly with our philosophy of self-reliance and integration with the markets.

Research and Risk:

  • Purpose of Trades: All trading activities conducted are for research and development purposes within the proprietary trading framework.
  • Risk Acknowledgment: Participants and stakeholders are reminded that all trading involves risk and to trade at their own risk. The absence of external clients allows us to focus on market-driven strategies rather than client risk tolerance, but it also places the onus of risk management solely on our internal controls and decision-making processes.

Regulatory Alignment:

  • CFTC and NFA Compliance: Despite our unique operational model, we adhere strictly to the regulatory frameworks established by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association (NFA). These guidelines help ensure that our trading practices are transparent, ethical, and aligned with industry standards.

Conclusion:

The decision to operate exclusively with our own capital and strategies at Global Accountancy Institute, Inc., and Global Financial Engineering, Inc., sets us apart in the financial trading industry. While this model offers significant operational freedoms and strategic advantages, it requires rigorous internal risk management and continuous market analysis to sustain profitability and operational integrity.

This comprehensive disclosure aims to clarify the operational framework and risk parameters associated with Global Accountancy Institute, Inc., and Global Financial Engineering, Inc., ensuring that all internal stakeholders are fully informed of the business model and its implications on our trading activities.
