Legal & Risk Disclosure
Last Updated January 1st, 2025
1. Educational Purposes Only
All content published in, or associated with Matthew Kohrs, or the “Goonie Discord Server”, including videos, articles, charts, live streams, models, chat messages, and any third-party data, is provided solely for educational and informational purposes. Nothing on this website or in our services constitutes—or should be construed as—personalized investment, tax, legal, or accounting advice. Always consult a qualified professional before making any trading or investment decision.
2. No Offer or Solicitation
This site is not an offer to buy or sell any security, derivative, commodity interest, or investment product, nor a solicitation of an offer to do so. Any mention of a particular security, strategy, or trade is illustrative and impersonal.
3. Registration Status
The “Goonie Discord Server/Community”, its owners, and its contributors are not registered as broker-dealers, investment advisers, futures commission merchants, commodity trading advisers, introducing brokers, or swap dealers with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the National Futures Association (NFA), or any state securities authority.
4. Trading Risks
- Trading stocks, options, and futures involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor.
- Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
- Leverage can magnify gains and losses; you may lose more than your initial investment.
- Market liquidity, volatility, technological failures, and regulatory changes can adversely affect trading outcomes. By accessing this site, you acknowledge that you alone bear full responsibility for your trading results.
5. Hypothetical Performance
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 of 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 which can adversely affect trading results.
6. Back-Tested Performance
Where we present simulated, back-tested, or hypothetical returns, they are purely illustrative and subject to the CFTC’s Rule 4.41:
“Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.”
7. Past Performance
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Market conditions change continuously; strategies that worked before may not work again.
8. Forward-Looking Statements
Any statement that is not strictly historical is forward-looking and involves risks and uncertainties. Actual outcomes may differ materially.
