EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE STATEMENT

THIS IS AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME ONLY. This programme is designed to provide theoretical knowledge and practical experience in financial markets through simulated trading environments.

This programme does NOT:

  • Constitute investment advice or recommendations
  • Guarantee trading success or profitability
  • Provide regulated financial services
  • Manage your money or investments
  • Offer live trading accounts

All trading conducted under this programme uses simulated demo accounts with virtual funds only.

SIMULATED TRADING WARNING

CRITICAL NOTICE: SIMULATED TRADING ENVIRONMENT

All trading activities under this programme are conducted on demo accounts using Virtual funds. This is a simulated trading environment for educational purposes only. Simulated trading results have inherent limitations and significant differences from live trading:

  • No Real Financial Risk: Demo trading does not involve real money, eliminating the psychological pressure and emotional decision-making that affects live trading
  • Perfect Execution: Simulated trades may execute at requested prices without slippage, which rarely occurs in live markets
  • Unlimited Virtual Capital: Demo accounts can be reset or increased, unlike real trading where capital is finite
  • No Liquidity Constraints: Demo orders fill regardless of market liquidity, which is not realistic in live markets
  • No Real Market Impact: Your demo trades do not affect real markets or experience the impact of large order execution

PAST PERFORMANCE WARNING:

Simulated past performance is NOT a reliable indicator of future results in live trading. Success on a demo account does NOT guarantee success in live trading. The results

achieved in a simulated environment may significantly differ from results achieved in live market conditions.

RISK WARNING

TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK

If you choose to trade with real money in the future (outside of this educational programme):

  • You could lose ALL of your invested capital
  • Trading is NOT suitable for everyone
  • You should NOT risk money you cannot afford to lose
  • Most retail traders lose money when trading
  • Leverage magnifies both gains AND losses
  • Past performance does NOT guarantee future results

You should seek independent financial advice before engaging in live trading.
