You should always be aware that the risk of loss in trading commodity futures contracts can be substantial. You may sustain a total loss of your initial margin funds and any additional funds that you deposit to establish or maintain a position in the commodities futures market. In addition, market conditions may be such that your account can incur a negative balance. In this event you will be liable for any deficit in your account. You should also be aware that the exercise of any option contract will result in a futures position.
You should study futures trading and consider all of your financial obligations in determining whether the trading of commodity futures or options on said futures is appropriate for you. Since the risk factor is high in futures trading, only genuine "risk funds" should be used.
