CFTC-Required Hypothetical Performance Disclosure
These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
Risk of Loss
Futures and options trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. There is a substantial risk of loss associated with trading these instruments. Only risk capital should be used for trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. You could lose all or more than your initial investment.
Additional Information & Assumptions
This performance assumes each trader started with a hypothetical $50,000 account and took every trade suggested in the MMA Daily Options Report using 3 contracts (lots) per trade in instruments such as Globex Gold, S&P mini futures, T-Notes, Crude Oil, Copper, Soybeans, Wheat, or IBIT (Bitcoin ETF). Exits may be scaled out. No slippage or commissions were deducted. In total, 102 contracts (34 trades) were initiated between December 10, 2025 and June 30, 2026. 24 of the 34 trades were profitable (70.58% win rate).
