You should consider the following points before engaging in a day-trading strategy. For purposes of this notice, a
"day-trading strategy" means an overall trading strategy characterized by the regular transmission by a customer of
intra-day orders to effect both purchase and sale transactions in the same security or securities.
Day trading can be extremely risky. Day trading generally is not appropriate for someone of limited
resources and limited investment or trading experience and low risk tolerance. You should be prepared to lose all of
the funds that you use for day trading. In particular, you should not fund day-trading activities with retirement
savings, student loans, second mortgages, emergency funds, funds set aside for purposes such as education or home
ownership, or funds required to meet your living expenses. Further, certain evidence indicates that an investment of
less than $50,000 will significantly impair the ability of a day trader to make a profit. Of course, an investment of
$50,000 or more will in no way guarantee success.
Be cautious of claims of large profits from day trading. You should be wary of advertisements or
other statements that emphasize the potential for large profits in day trading. Day trading can also lead to large and
immediate financial losses.
Day trading requires knowledge of securities markets. Day trading requires in-depth knowledge of
the securities markets and trading techniques and strategies. In attempting to profit through day trading, you must
compete with professional, licensed traders employed by securities firms. You should have appropriate experience
before engaging in day trading.
Day trading requires knowledge of a firm's operations. You should be familiar with a securities
firm's business practices, including the operation of the firm's order execution systems and procedures. Under certain
market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position quickly at a reasonable price. This
can occur, for example, when the market for a stock suddenly drops, or if trading is halted due to recent news events
or unusual trading activity. The more volatile a stock is, the greater the likelihood that problems may be encountered
in executing a transaction. In addition to normal market risks, you may experience losses due to system failures.
Day trading will generate substantial commissions, even if the per trade cost is low. Day trading
involves aggressive trading, and generally you will pay commissions on each trade. The total daily commissions that
you pay on your trades will add to your losses or significantly reduce your earnings. For instance, assuming that a
trade costs $16 and an average of 29 transactions are conducted per day, an investor would need to generate an annual
profit of $111,360 just to cover commission expenses.
Day trading on margin or short selling may result in losses beyond your initial investment. When
you day trade with funds borrowed from a firm or someone else, you can lose more than the funds you originally placed
at risk. A decline in the value of the securities that are purchased may require you to provide additional funds to
the firm to avoid the forced sale of those securities or other securities in your account. Short selling as part of
your day-trading strategy also may lead to extraordinary losses, because you may have to purchase a stock at a very
high price in order to cover a short position.
