Phrases like "Start making profits from tomorrow" , "How to earn up to $35K/Month" , "With trading you will never work again"etc. etc. are designed to highlight the possibilities and the effectiveness of our trading strategies under optimal conditions and following certain steps.

It's important to understand that such expressions do not guarantee or promise that every individual will achieve the mentioned results immediately or without effort, or if they will ever achieve the mentioned results. The success of any trading strategy is subject to individual application, practice, backtesting, market conditions, trader's psychology, discipline and numerous other factors outside our control. As trading involves risk, it's possible to experience loss as well as gain. Actually, more than 70% of day traders are not profitable in the long run.
