US Government Required Legal Risk Disclosure:

U.S. Government Required Disclaimer - Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Futures and options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in the futures and options markets. Don't trade with money you can't afford to lose. This website is neither a solicitation nor an offer to Buy/Sell futures or options. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed on this website. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results.

 CFTC RULE 4.41 - HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT 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 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 PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.
 
TRACK RECORD PERFORMANCE RISK DISCLOSURE:

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.

The trading  results posted anywhere on PureTick.com are conditional results from the system trigger signals issued intra-day in our room.  Trades utilize our scale in/out exit strategy which is explained to our members.  Please note:  New traders are required to use a non-cash simulator for the first 10 days in our room.  Please note that the trades contained in the conditional  performance results were not executed for any one trading account.  Some trades reported are based on prices communicated to us by other traders on our service who were able to enter the trades or are based on prices that were prevalent at the time a trade signal was generated. In esscence, our users themselves create these results. Fair and nifty! In many cases, it is unknown if the all the contracts could have actually been executed at the exactly same price due to slippage. We have a high entry win rate. So take the trial risk free and see how the system works for your. What do you have to lose? We do no guarantee that you will receive the same prices and fills as Alex or any other member.   Please be aware that past performance is not indicative of futures results.     For Trial information or rates to the trading room service click here!


Terms of Membership at PureTick.com

  1. Expired trial memberships automatically rebill upon expiration at the normal rate, unless a special referral code is entered. All memberships are on a month-to-month basis.  Recurring billing is done on the day your trial expires then every succeeding month.  Please let us know at least three days in advance if you wish to cancel your trading access.  That is, if you join on the 5th you will be charged for 10 days and then your card will be billed on the 15th for the full amount for next month's service. The trial period is based on actual calendar days, not business days and starts as soon as you submit your application.
  2. Trial memberships are based on calendar days. Holidays, weekends and other foreseen events are not factored in. It would be quite impossible to program a computer to skip all the strange events us humans observe. If you sign up on 3/20/2006, your trial would end on 3/30/2006.
  3. Cancellation requests may NOT be done via e-mail and only via phone.  Please call 877 GO LONG1 or 828 333 4072   This is due to the fact that the over-wealming amounts of spam on the Internet cause e-mail to be unreliable. We want to make sure there are no miscommunications. Voice mail and fax is also acceptable.
  4. If you signed up with PayPal, you will need to login to PayPal.com and cancel you reoccuring subscription as well. We do NOT handle PayPal cancellations. Log on to www.paypal.com and select the transaction. At the bottom of it there will be a little button that says 'cancel subscription'. We only control the sign ups from our OWN billing ( www.puretick.com/start.html )
  5. You will RECEIVE AN EMAIL confirmation with cancellation NUMBER when we process your cancel request. It is your responsibility to call back if you do not!  This confirmation will be required should there ever be a billing question or dispute. We will also accept a copy of your phone bill showing that you called in to cancel.
  6. If for some reason you can not reach us by phone or via the normal channels please send a FAX letter with signature to 828-348-4239  This way, should there ever be a question as to when you canceled you can use the date of that letter as proof you did indeed cancel.
  7. Expired trial memberships automatically rebill upon expiration at the normal rate, unless a special referral code is entered. Ie: You sign up for the trial on Dec 5th: You'll be charged the trial rate and then on the 15th of the month billed $299.
  8. You will be CHARGED for the service weather you use it or NOT. As to say if you are not in the trading room but your account is ACTIVE and you have not called to cancel, you will be billed as usual.  Ex:  You have basketball season passes and miss a few games. You can not request a refund for the season passes. Please! It is imperative that you cancel your account if you wish to discontinue membership.
  9. You agree that you have no right to dispute charges from PureTick if you forget to cancel before your rebill date. You can reach us day or night if you wish to speak with us regrading billing.
  10. All subscriptions are automatically renewed at the normal rate (unless you entered a discount referral code) when your trial period is up unless canceled. Subscriptions reoccur on a month to month basis.  All subscription fees are non-refundable once they have been billed to your card. This includes the montly fee and trial membership. Subscriptions are active/valid as soon as you submit your application.
  11. All of our policies, rules, terms and notices fall under the EST time frame, GMT-5. Ex: If you call to cancel your account at March 4th 11PM PST, it will be March 5th on the east coast and our server may have already billed your account.
  12. The trading room official hours are from 9:30AM EST to 11:45AM EST and 13:45 EST to 16:00EST.  We normally will take a break during the low volatility period known as the 'dead zone' or the 'doldrums'.
  13. Cancellation requests are to be via our cancellations page and are not official until the member receives a confirmation from PureTick.  You MUST give the correct user name and password for your cancellation to be effective;  this is obviously to prevent malicious cancellations.  Failure to give the correct user name and password combination will result in your cancellation NOT being processed.
  14. Private messages and E-mail sent to administrators may be shared among the other administrators to benefit you, and may be disclosed to the public or general room attendees if it helps their education.
  15. Messages posted to the room (private and public) and E-mail sent to administrators may be shared and used for public display on PureTick.com or any other web site on the Internet.
  16. Phone voice mail messages you record on PureTick's voice mail may be shared and used for public audio display on PureTick.com or any other web site on the Internet.
  17. If you wish to cancel, please let us know at least three (3) days in advance of your trial expiring, or rebilling period date.
  18. We allow only * one * trial membership per each physical mailing address, person or credit card number. This prevents the unfair activity of the same user from signing up for multiple trials in a row. If a user signs up, cancels then resigns up again with the same mailing address they will be billed the normal rate. There are no exceptions. If we are running a special of any time and you have already taken a trial period before you will be charged the normal montly rate.
  19. We allow only * one * trial membership per each person/user. This is amendment to the first clause. If you move frm your condo to another condo a month later you are NOT eligable for another trial.  This prevents the unfair activity of the same user from signing up for multiple trials in a row. If a user signs up, cancels then resigns up again.
  20. Only one person shall be allowed to use the service per membership login at a time. This is to prevent one person from using an account and giving it out to hundreds of others. This is not fair to our other traders.
  21. Please treat the members and moderators with respect. No foul language, or abusive tones will be tolerated towards any member or our administrators. This includes E-mail, phone, fax, letters, the live room or any other medium. If you violate this policy you will be removed from the service WITH OUT refund! No questions asked.
  22. Cancellations are not effective until the end of the billing period they are received in:  i.e., if you cancel on October 8th you will still have access to the site until the 15th of the current month.
  23. Alex may be trading a large cash account or a simulator account at any given moment. He will switch between these accounts depending on the trade setup, market conditions and risk.
  24. Mentorship deposits and payments of any type are NON refundable. If you need to cancel or change a mentorship please contact Alex or Geoff and they'll be happy to work with you.  Once you reserve a spot we can not book it for anyone else obviously!

PureTick administrators and owners reserve the right to yell at, degrade, belittle, patronize,  discredit, disgrace, dishonor, and disparage any user who we personally feel deserves such treatment. This includes the PureTick.com trading room, phone calls, US mail, fax, and as well as any other public web site on the Internet. Treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. If you do not like this policy, you are free to cancel your membership at ANY time by calling 828-333-4072
  29. Phone calls to and from Alex are billed at the following rate. Alex's time is very valuable. Pure Tick receives over 100 calls and 400 e-mail requests per day. We are pretty swamped. Alex provides a phone consultation service at the rate of  $175/ per hour (billed in 10 minute blocks).  If you wish to receive a phone call from Alex please E-mail trading@puretick.com with your name and phone number.

SUBSCRIPTION PLEDGE

Why are you here?!  To make green!  We want you to be PROFITABLE, so much so that Alex and the rest of the staff have decided to make it their personal goal.   We feel that many subscription-based services are lacking in their ability or willingness to produce profitable trading calls which anyone can follow.  We want you to be satisfied with your bottom line and learn a few things along the way.
