   3. Activities of Soto Enterprises Personnel
      1. Soto Enterprises, and its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and affiliates, are active investors and traders of securities. Such parties may, not are not required to, purchase or sell any security, or engage in any investment strategy, contained in any data, content or information on the Site, or in the other products or services of Soto Enterprises. Such parties will purchase or sell securities, and engage in any investment strategies, in their sole discretion, at any time and without notice, and shall not, and are not required to disclose or otherwise notify you, or any other person or party, with respect to any such decisions or activities. For the avoidance of doubt, such parties may not always adhere to Soto Enterprises strategies and are not required to disclose or notify you, or any other person or party, with respect to any such decisions or activities. Soto Enterprises personnel adhere to their unique individual plans developed and implemented by them with or without Soto Enterprises, and experiences will not be duplicated and are not typical.
      2. Soto Enterprises does not engage in, and its business and activities shall not constitute or be construed as, a business or activity with the purpose of creating a false or misleading appearance of active trading in any security, or a false or misleading appearance with respect to the market for such security, to effect any transaction in such security which involves no change in the beneficial ownership thereof, to enter an order or orders for the purchase of such security with the knowledge that an order or orders of substantially the same size, at substantially the same time, and at substantially the same price, for the sale of any such security, has been or will be entered by or for the same or different parties, or to enter any order or orders for the sale of any such security with the knowledge that an order or orders of substantially the same size, at substantially the same time, and at substantially the same price, for the purchase of such security, has been or will be entered by or for the same or different parties.
      3. Soto Enterprises does not engage in, and its business and activities shall not constitute or be construed as, a business or activity to effect a series of transactions creating actual or apparent active trading in a security, or raising or depressing the price of such security, for the purpose of inducing the purchase or sale of such security by others.
      4. Soto Enterprises does not engage in, and its business and activities shall not constitute or be construed as, a business or activity to effect a series of transactions for the purchase and/or sale of a security for the purpose of pegging, fixing, or stabilizing the price of such security in contravention of any law, rule or regulation.
      5. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Soto Enterprises, and its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and affiliates, engage in active trading of securities, but do not willfully participate in any activity described in the three preceding paragraphs. Accordingly, you hereby waive and release any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and any other costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), arising from or related to your purchase or sale of a security at a price that may have been affected by the business or activities of Soto Enterprises, or its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents or affiliates.
   4. Investments and Results
      1. The purchase and sale of securities, futures, or commodities involve a high degree of risk and is speculative in nature. The purchase and sale of securities should only be conducted by persons who understand and accept the risks involved therewith and who have independently reviewed and determined their acceptance and suitability of these risks and the financial and tax consequences thereof. Only persons who are able to bear the risk of substantial or complete loss of funds should engage in the purchase and sale of securities, futures or commodities.
      2. Soto Enterprises, and the content and information contained on the Site, and in other products and services of Soto Enterprises, do not indicate or guaranty any predictable, general, specific or other results. The purchase and sale of securities, and any other investment activity, involves a high degree of risk, and a number of factors could materially and adversely affect the results and lead to a substantial or complete loss of an investment.
      3. As more fully set forth herein, Soto Enterprises, and its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and affiliates, make no representation, warranty or guaranty as to the validity, adequacy, timeliness, accuracy, reliability or completeness of any data, content or information. You should independently analyze, review and confirm any such data, content or information.
      4. Soto Enterprises may express or utilize testimonials or descriptions of past performance, but such items are not indicative of future results or performance, or any representation, warranty or guaranty that any result will be obtained by you. Your results may differ materially from those expressed or utilized by Soto Enterprises due to a number of factors.
      5. COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION RULE 4.41:  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 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.
   5. Testimonials Disclaimer
      In accordance with 16 CFR Part 255 and Federal Trade Commission Guidelines concerning use of endorsements and testimonials in marketing and advertising, please be aware of the following:
      1. Endorsements, testimonials or descriptions of past performance from other customers or members are based upon their individual experiences and results with the Site, and the products and services of Soto Enterprises. These results and performances are not typical, and you should not expect to achieve the same or similar results or performance, and your results and performance are likely to vary or differ materially. The endorsements, testimonials or descriptions of past performance are individual experiences, reflecting real life experiences of customers or members, and are not representative of the results and performances of all customers and members.
      2. Endorsements, testimonials or descriptions of past performance appearing on the Site were received pancekvia text, audio or video submission from customers or members. The endorsements, testimonials or descriptions of past performance (text, audio and/or video) are verbatim except for correction of grammatical or typing errors and editing for length. In other words, not the whole message received by the customer or member may be displayed, when it seemed lengthy or not all content seemed relevant for the general public. No endorsements, testimonials or descriptions of customers or members that appear on the Site involved payment or compensation therefor.
      3. Soto Enterprises’s experience with trading is not typical, nor is the experience of individuals featured in testimonials. They are experienced traders. Becoming an experienced trader takes hard work, dedication and a significant amount of time.
      4. We do not track the typical results of our current or past students. As a provider of educational courses, we do not have access to the personal trading accounts or brokerage statements of our customers. Available research data suggests that most day traders are not profitable.
      5. In a research paper published in 2014 titled “Do Day Traders Rationally Learn About Their Ability?”, professors from the University of California studied 3.7 billion trades from the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992-2006 and found that only 9.81% of day trading volume was generated by predictably profitable traders and that these predictably profitable traders constitute less than 3% of all day traders on an average day. *Citation 1
      6. In a 2005 article published in the Journal of Applied Finance titled “The Profitability of Active Stock Traders” professors at the University of Oxford and the University College Dublin found that out of 1,146 brokerage accounts day trading the U.S. markets between March 8, 2000 and June 13, 2000, only 50% were profitable with an average net profit of $16,619. *Citation 2
      7. In a 2003 article published in the Financial Analysts Journal titled “The Profitability of Day Traders”, professors at the University of Texas found that out of 334 brokerage accounts day trading the U.S. markets between February 1998 and October 1999, only 35% were profitable and only 14% generated profits in excess of than $10,000. *Citation 3
      8. The range of results in these three studies exemplify the challenge of determining a definitive success rate for day traders. At a minimum, these studies indicate at least 50% of aspiring day traders will not be profitable. This reiterates that consistently making money trading stocks is not easy. Day Trading is a high risk activity and can result in the loss of your entire investment. Any trade or investment is at your own risk.
