Be aware that investment in commodity futures and/or options for potential profit is accompanied by the risk of loss. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. The benefits of limited risk in trading futures options is only available for long options (Buying "Put" and "Call" Options.) "Limited Risk" refers to the amount of any potential loss, not the likelihood of loss. Trading futures options can involve the loss of the premium paid on the option, plus commissions and fees. Past results are not indicative of future results.
