What do we mean by general advice?

General Advice: Any advice, opinion or trading view provided by The International Day Trading Academy Pty Ltd is general in nature and does not take into account any of your objectives, financial situation &/or needs. Should you act on this information you should consider the appropriateness of the information in relation to your personal circumstance, investment requirements & the associated risk your action may expose you to, and if necessary, seek independent advice.

Risk Warning: Trading in leveraged or geared products such as derivatives carries a high level of risk to your capital and you should only trade with money you can afford to lose. You should consider your investment objectives, risk tolerance & trading experience when deciding to invest in futures and derivatives or to become a member of or attend training courses offered by The International Day Trading Academy Pty Ltd. Prior to investing in futures or derivatives, The International Day Trading Academy Pty Ltd recommends you seek independent advice. It is possible to lose more than your initial investment capital when dealing in markets that offer clients the ability to utilize leverage or gearing. Trading derivatives may not be suitable for all investors. Clients must ensure, prior to investing, they fully understand the risks involved and should seek independent advice in relation to these risks if they do not fully understand them.

Performance Caution Notice: Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. There are risks involved with trading futures and derivatives. When considering if you should learn how to trade futures with IDTA, you should consider if it is appropriate for your investment requirements prior to entering into an agreement.
