PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICITIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
Assumptions and Limitations
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Return calculations do not include commission costs, margin costs or taxes. Since numerous investment vehicles exist to track the performance of these indices, all performance results are published as hypothetical and calculated using the respective indices as the investment. Calculations assume that all trades are placed at the market close the day of the signal change. Our system is regularly tested under stress management and may be adjusted for current market and economic conditions at any time, and may be changed to facilitate the appropriate levels of risk management.
