We encourage you to consider carefully whether AutoTrading is compatible with your investment strategy before you establish an Autotrade account or engage a Newsletter. You should review the investment philosophy and track record of any prospective Newsletter to determine if it fits your trading goals and risk tolerance. You should also carefully review past performance of the Newsletter’s publisher. While past performance is no guarantee of future result, a Newsletter’s documented past performance may help you to get a sense of the potential for success or failure in implementing its strategies.
 

AutoShares will not review or otherwise evaluate the reasonableness of the transactions entered or the investment strategies implemented for your account by your Newsletter. AutoShares acts solely as an order-taker for your Autotrade account. It is your responsibility to monitor each transaction effected by a Newsletter for your account and to decide if those transactions are appropriate for you. We strongly encourage you to closely review each trade confirmation and account statement you receive to ensure that you are comfortable with the activity in your account.

AutoTrading FAQs
 

Q: What is AutoTrading?
A: AutoTrading is an arrangement where your stock or option broker implements investment recommendations published by your Newsletter. Your trades are executed when AutoShares receives your Newsletter’s trade alerts. Under the AutoTrade program, you give AutoShares the authority to enter and exit only those trade alerts received from your Newsletter. This enhances your ability to execute trade alerts efficiently, even if you are unable to keep in touch with current market conditions.


Q: How do I sign up for AutoTrading?
 

  • Subscribe to a participating Newsletter service
  • Open an account with AutoShares
  • Complete and submit AutoShares AutoTrading Agreement
  • Deposit Funds to your account


Q: What is the minimum equity commitment required to start AutoTrading?
A: AutoShares requires a minimum account size of $2,000 to AutoTrade.


Q: Are there special risks associated with AutoTrading?
A: While there are risks associated with all investments and investment programs, there are special risks associated with AutoTrading. You should both be familiar with those risks and willing to accept them before you direct us to accept trading instructions from a Newsletter publisher. For example, AutoTrading frequently involves short-term trading of stocks and options that is based on short-term fluctuations in the overall market, particular industries, or particular issuers. There can be no assurances that such trading will be profitable. And because you will be charged a commission on each transaction effected for your account, the costs associated with frequent short-term trading can become significant. Similarly, there are risks associated with engaging in AutoTrading using margin. You should not engage in AutoTrading unless you are willing to accept the inherent risks, which may include the loss of all the funds you have invested.


Q: Does Autoshares recommend or work with any Newsletter Publisher?
A: No. Autoshares does not recommend one service over another. In addition, Autoshares does not advise, consult or assist any Newsletter with respect to the content, recommendations or strategies contained in any trade alert. Autoshares receives no compensation from any Newsletter to participate in AutoTrading programs and Autoshares does not share commissions with or pay referral fees to any Newsletter relating to customer accounts established or transactions effected under our AutoTrading program. AutoShares recomends you read the following SEC release concerning the risks of AutoTrading.
