Disclaimer, Copyright and Risk Warning

Neither this material, nor the educational products offered by John Pontikas, Brian Dibbins and www.tradeprofitably.com give any investment advice, neither do they give any recommendations as to which instruments one should trade, or which trading style one should adopt for their own personal use.

The information in this material, and the products offered by John Pontikas, Brian Dibbins and www.tradeprofitably.com are designed purely as educational and tutorial products, simply to give one a basic insight into how the share market works, and how applying technical analysis may possibly assist in making some trading decisions.

It is not designed to replace the advice of a licensed financial advisor, planner, or stockbroker.

The information in this material and our educational products is based solely on our own interpretation of the stock market, and our own personal trading experiences.  This information is provided on an "as is" basis.  We make no guarantee as to the accuracy of the information provided, and while care is taken to provide accurate information, we accept no responsibility for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the information provided.

Most examples used in our educational products, while based on real possible outcomes, are hypothetical and were not actually executed.  Hypothetical or simulated performance results, unlike actual traded results have certain limitations that need to be taken into account.  Simulated trading examples have been used with the benefit of hindsight.  We make absolutely no representation that profits or losses demonstrated in these examples are likely or achievable.  Hypothetical trading examples also cannot possibly take into account the impact of liquidity or buyer and seller demand, and do not allow for slippage and associated trading costs and concerns.  Hypothetical trades do not have any financial risk.

The past performance of any trade whether actual or hypothetical is not necessarily an indication of future results.  Stocks, futures, currencies, commodities, CFDs, options and all types of investment trading can have large potential rewards, but also carry large potential risks.  One must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in the markets.  One should never trade with money that one cannot afford to lose, and one must accept that there will be losses, and one must be able to sustain these losses, both from a financial as well as an emotional perspective.

Trading stocks futures, currencies, commodities, CFDs, options and all types of investment trading involve risk and are not suitable for all investors.  This is neither a solicitation nor an offer to buy or sell stocks, options, or any financial products.

It is impossible to take into consideration every individual person’s investment objectives, financial needs or current financial situation.  This is something that one will need to discuss with their own financial planner or advisor.  Our educational material is of a general educational nature only.  One should seek professional advice from a licensed financial advisor before taking any action or making any financial decisions.

The decision to trade, the instruments traded, and the trading methods employed are purely the decision of the reader.  John Pontikas, Brian Dibbins and www.tradeprofitably.com, the publisher of this material and all those involved or associated with our products expressly disclaim all and any liability to any person or persons whether a purchaser of our products or not, in respect of anything and of the consequences of anything done or omitted to be done by any person or persons in reliance, whether whole or partial, upon the whole or any part of the contents of any of our educational products and publications.

We do not, and will not give stock tips, trading recommendations, or financial advice.
