14. What are the risks associated with daytrading?

1. Day trading is extremely risky and speculative. Potential traders should be prepared for possible loss of full capital investment. Potential traders  should never fund their day trading activities with retirement savings, loans, second mortgages, emergency funds, funds set aside for purposes such as education or home ownership, or funds required for current income or present or future medical expenses.

2. Potential traders should not believe claims of large and/or unrealistic profits resulting from day trading. Potential traders should realize that day trading could result in immediate and substantial losses of the capital invested, including additional capital that may be required by investing on margin. (See paragraph 6 below.)

3. Day trading requires in-depth knowledge of the securities markets, trading techniques and strategies. In attempting to profit from day trading, new potential traders compete with professional traders, market-makers, etc.; therefore, a high level of investment and trading experience is necessary.

4. Potential traders must know Capital Traders Group LLC’s rules and regulations applicable to day trading. Not following the rules and regulations applicable to day trading or any other applicable regulation may result in forced sell-outs/buy-ins, temporary freezing of your account, closing your account and/or other actions necessary for the protection of Capital Traders Group, LLC.

5. Day trading requires a  small commission per share (anywhere from $.003 to $.008 per share), however, these commissions add up quickly when trading a large volume of share.  The total daily/monthly/yearly commissions may add to losses and/or significantly reduce profits.

6. Day trading on margin, or the use of margin generally, may result in losses beyond the initial investment, because such accounts are subject to interest charges as well as “margin calls.” A “margin call” is a demand on the customer for cash or additional collateral (negotiable securities) when account equity in a margin account declines below the minimum standard set by an exchange, the regulators, Capital Traders Group, LLC or our clearing firm. Extreme caution should be exercised relative to your use of a margin account.

7. Short selling as part of day trading strategy is extremely risky, and may lead to unlimited losses, as securities may need to be bought-in at a price indefinitely higher than the sell price.

8. Potential traders must be knowledgeable in the use and functionality of the day trading software provided by Capital Traders Group, LLC, or by any third-party provider, in order to correctly interpret account information and to be able to place orders correctly. Potential traders are responsible for all orders placed in their account, regardless of your understanding of the system functionality. If you are not in complete understanding of the way the system operates, do not trade.

9. Holding large positions in volatile securities, especially after the close of the market, may result in considerable losses. Opening prices (next day) for such securities can be significantly different from the previous day’s closing prices; also, trading in such securities can unexpectedly be halted during trading hours for a variety of reasons and prices can vary dramatically at the re-opening of trading with no interim capabilities of trading during such time periods.

10. Abnormally high volume of trading in volatile stocks may cause delays in order executions, late reports of executions, as well as execution prices being significantly different from the market prices quoted at the time of order entry. Using limit orders is highly recommended in order to avoid executions at prices significantly different from the prices quoted at the time of order entry.

11. Potential traders must know the proper procedures for changing or canceling existing orders. In a fast moving market, or otherwise, attempts at canceling an existing order and replacing it with a new one may result in an execution of duplicate orders. In such situations, potential traders are wholly responsible for both executions and any resulting losses.

12. From time to time, potential traders may have difficulty accessing their account data due to a possible myriad of technical problems. Capital Traders Group, LLC make no warranty of merchantability, no warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, and no other warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding this service, data or information provided thereby, or any aspect regarding the order entry or execution services, except as required by applicable law, regarding possible damages, including, but not limited to, lost profits, trading losses or damages that result from reliance on inaccurate data, or delay or loss of access to a potential traders account execution services.

13. It is very important for you to reconcile your account on a daily basis. Your review should include confirmations, daily blotters, and monthly statements. Any suspected discrepancies should be immediately brought to the attention of Capital Traders Group, LLC. All trade confirmations and monthly statements will be deemed accepted by you if not complained of upon receipt.

14. In order to be successful, you should consider trading to be a profession that will require you to be available each and every day during market hours. Even with such commitment, there is no guarantee that you will be successful in implementing your investment/trading strategy. Some reports state that 70% of day traders suffer substantial losses or lose all of their investment capital.

15. Persons who are relatively new to electronic trading should strictly limit both the number of trades they do and the size of their trades to reduce the risk of large dollar losses during the learning process. Nearly all persons who are new to electronic trading suffer losses. Only persons who can sustain substantial losses during the learning process should attempt to engage in such electronic trading. The length of time required to develop the requisite skill and discipline necessary to trade successfully varies with different individuals (the minimum period generally being six months to a year) and a large percentage are never able to achieve consistent profitability.
