No profit promises are made, ever — trading stocks, options, and forex involves substantial risk of loss; options positions can lose 100% of their value. The public scoreboard reflects a model ("paper") desk — no real money. Past performance — real, paper, or simulated — never guarantees future results. Hypothetical and simulated results have inherent limitations and no representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve similar profits or losses.
