FOREX.com does not recommend the use of technical analysis as a sole means of investment research. At FOREX.com we recommend that investors define their goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, and investment objectives in addition to researching possible investment choices through multiple channels. Use of technical analysis may result in increased frequency of trading and, therefore, significantly higher transaction costs than a fundamental approach.

Increasing leverage increases risk. Placing Contingent orders (such as stop or limit) may not limit the risk of loss to intended amounts. This presentation will include references to actual past trading results for discussion purposes. Past results are not indicative of future

performance. Any references to historical price movements or levels is informational based on our analysis and we do not represent or warranty that

any such movements or levels are likely to reoccur in the future Forex trading involves significant risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
