IMPORTANT INFORMATION

* Visit ecpfinance.org/Awards for details.

Options trading may not be suitable for every investor. It involves entering into contracts to buy or sell specific financial products at predetermined prices on specified dates. Fees may be charged for exercising or assigning options upon expiration. In the case of early exercise or assignment, a fee of $1.50 per contract will be incurred. Additionally, a National Futures Association (NFA) fee of $0.02 per contract is applicable to all options transactions. It's important to take these costs into account when assessing the potential profitability of futures options trades before initiating any trade. For comprehensive information on the characteristics and risks associated with standardized options, as well as the CFTC Risk Disclosure Statement – Appendix A to Rule 1.55, please refer to the document available at ecpfinance.org. You can find complete pricing details at ecpfinance.org/Pricing.

Pricing pertains to brand-new single-tier per-contract futures accounts. These accounts will receive Apex Holdings FuturesPlus without any additional charges. Qualified non-professional subscribers will also receive complimentary real-time Globex and E-mini Level 1 market data, as well as Market Depth data for CME, CBOT, COMEX, and NYMEX. For single-tier accounts that do not maintain an average end-of-month equity balance of at least $2,000 or fail to execute at least five (5) trades in the preceding 12 months, an annual fee of $50 will be applied. If you currently have, or plan to open, either (1) another equities account with different terms, per-share pricing, unbundled services, or alternative promotions before 3/3/17, or (2) a tiered-commission futures account, a monthly account service fee of $99.95 will be levied on accounts not meeting the requirement of maintaining an end-of-month equity balance of at least $100,000, executing at least 5,000 shares, or trading at least 50 options contracts or ten round-turn futures contracts in the preceding month.
