All trading strategies are used at your own risk. Any content on vfxmarkets.com should not be relied upon as advice or construed as providing recommendations of any kind. It is your responsibility to confirm and decide which trades to make. Trade only with risk capital; that is, trade with money that, if lost, will not adversely impact your lifestyle and your ability to meet your financial obligations. Past results are no indication of future performance. In no event should the content of this correspondence be construed as an express or implied promise or guarantee. VFX Markets is not responsible for any losses incurred as a result of your trading strategies.

No guarantee of any kind is implied or possible where projections of future conditions are attempted.
