Educational trading technology - Tools designed to help users learn about market analysis and trading concepts
Algorithmic trading tools - Software that executes YOUR user-defined strategies and settings

High Risk Investment Warning

FUTURES TRADING IS EXTREMELY RISKY AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS.

The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in futures trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains. YOU COULD LOSE MORE THAN YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT.

Before deciding to trade futures, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment. You should be aware of all the risks associated with futures trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
