+ NOTES: Performance shown on this report is based on end-of-month cumulative account balance. In order to realize the same percentage gains/losses and drawdowns as the lead account going forward, you must fund your account with an amount equivalent to the lead account's balance at the time of entry into the program (Matching Funds). We recommend that you open your account with Matching Funds. An up-to-the-minute Matching Funds total is available on the WCA Net profit Calculator. Net profit calculated reflects advisor's initial investment of $10,000, WCA subscription rate of $100.00 per-month per-unit and standardized commission rate of $29.98 per round-turn (includes Exchange and transaction fees but not NFA fees) available through any authorized AutoTrade broker. The commission rate has changed during the life of this program. The rate displayed is the current rate. Performance data is calculated using rates that applied during specific periods of time.

Trade quantities and frequency in the account do not fluctuate with changes in account equity, and Matching Funds may not be needed to meet and maintain margin requirements. If you fund with less than Matching Funds, your investment is considered "notional" and your account's performance, good or bad, will be accentuated on a percentage basis. Conversely, if you fund with more than Matching Funds, you will be de-leveraging your investment, and your gains/loss and drawdowns will be less than those experienced in the lead account on a percentage basis. The Letter of Direction you are required to sign before participating in any WCA program contains a chart that illustrates how notional funding can dramatically affect your investment. Please refer to this chart before notionally funding an account.

While there are no management or incentive fees associated with WorldCupAdvisor.com leader-follower AutoTrade programs, monthly subscription fees do apply.

** The drawdown begins in the month listed as start. The length in months of the drawdown is listed under length.
