Rules of Conduct in the Live Trading Room

Respect all members, and administrators, including:

+ No use of offensive language.
+ No personal attacks, including deliberately antagonizing or belittling others in the live trading room.
+ No ethnic jokes or derogatory comments of any sort will be tolerated.
+ Do not be deliberately distracting.

No advertising or promotion of stocks or other instruments (junk bonds, etc.):

Trying to generate hype for a stock is a form of spamming and will not be tolerated.  Mentioning factual information or observations about stock, bond, currency etc. activity such as earnings announcements, news etc. is allowed, of course.

No promotion or mention at all of competing sites or other businesses of any sort is allowed:
Please respect our members.  They do not join to be spammed/solicited. If you engage in promotional or spamming activities you are distracting members from making money with our service and therefore will be removed from the live trading room. We wish to remain neutral on other services out there. There are many good and bad services available.

Only Alex (AlexLW) will make OFFICIAL TRADING CALLS!

Members are allowed to talk amongst themselves and point out valid observations.  We're open for new ideas and would love to hear from you in the room.  However, keep in mind that only AlexLW's calls are official and we are not responsible for other peoples' calls (good or bad).

If you notice any member violating any of our rules or doing something questionable, please email the administrator trading@puretick.com  or notify them via IM (Instant Message).

We reserve the right to republish, reuse and exhibit any text, audio, or graphics sent to our web site via email, chat, live help, fax or phone.



US Government Required Legal Risk Disclosure:

U.S. Government Required Disclaimer - Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Futures and options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in the futures and options markets. Don't trade with money you can't afford to lose. This website is neither a solicitation nor an offer to Buy/Sell futures or options. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed on this website. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results.

 CFTC RULE 4.41 - HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.
 
PERFORMANCE RISK DISCLOSURE:

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 IN 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 OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.


Terms of Membership at PureTick.com

  1. Expired trial memberships automatically rebill upon expiration at the normal rate, unless a special referral code is entered. All memberships are on a month-to-month basis.  Recurring billing is done on the day your trial expires then every succeeding month.  Please let us know at least three days in advance if you wish to cancel your trading access.  That is, if you join on the 5th you will be charged for 10 days and then your card will be billed on the 15th for the full amount for next month's service. The trial period is based on actual calendar days, not business days and starts as soon as you submit your application.
  2. Trial memberships are based on calendar days. Holidays, weekends and other foreseen events are not factored in. It would be quite impossible to program a computer to skip all the strange events us humans observe. If you sign up on 3/20/2006, your trial would end on 3/30/2006.
  3. Cancellation requests may NOT be done via e-mail and only via phone.  Please call 877 GO LONG1 or 828 255 2655   This is due to the fact that the over-wealming amounts of spam on the Internet cause e-mail to be unreliable. We want to make sure there are no miscommunications. Voice mail and fax is also acceptable.
  4. You will RECEIVE AN EMAIL confirmation with cancellation NUMBER when we process your cancel request. It is your responsibility to call back if you do not!  This confirmation will be required should there ever be a billing question or dispute. We will also accept a copy of your phone bill showing that you called in to cancel.
  5. If for some reason you can not reach us by phone or via the normal channels please send a CERTIFIED letter with signature required to 1803 Foxmeadow Circle, Royersford, PA 19468, USA.  This way, should there ever be a question as to when you canceled you can use the date of that letter as proof you did indeed cancel.
  6. Expired trial memberships automatically rebill upon expiration at the normal rate, unless a special referral code is entered. Ie: You sign up for the trial on Dec 5th: You'll be charged the trial rate and then on the 15th of the month billed $299.
  7. You will be CHARGED for the service weather you use it or NOT. As to say if you are not in the trading room but your account is ACTIVE and you have not called to cancel, you will be billed as usual.  Ex:  You have basketball season passes and miss a few games. You can not request a refund for the season passes. Please! It is imperative that you cancel your account if you wish to discontinue membership.
  8. You agree that you have no right to dispute charges from PureTick if you forget to cancel before your rebill date. You can reach us day or night if you wish to speak with us regrading billing.
  9. All subscriptions are automatically renewed at the normal rate (unless you entered a discount referral code) when your trial period is up unless canceled. Subscriptions reoccur on a month to month basis.  All subscription fees are non-refundable once they have been billed to your card. This includes the montly fee and trial membership. Subscriptions are active/valid as soon as you submit your application.
  10. All of our policies, rules, terms and notices fall under the EST time frame, GMT-5. Ex: If you call to cancel your account at March 4th 11PM PST, it will be March 5th on the east coast and our server may have already billed your account.
  11. The trading room official hours are from 9:30AM EST to 11:45AM EST and 13:45 EST to 16:00EST.  We normally will take a break during the low volatility period known as the 'dead zone' or the 'doldrums'.
  12. Cancellation requests are to be via our cancellations page and are not official until the member receives a confirmation from PureTick.  You MUST give the correct user name and password for your cancellation to be effective;  this is obviously to prevent malicious cancellations.  Failure to give the correct user name and password combination will result in your cancellation NOT being processed.
  13. Private messages sent to administrators may be shared among the other administrators to benefit you, and may be disclosed to the public or general room attendees if it helps their education.
  14. If you wish to cancel, please let us know at least three (3) days in advance of your trial expiring, or rebilling period date.
  15. We allow only * one * trial membership per each physical mailing address. This prevents the unfair activity of the same user from signing up for multiple trials in a row. If a user signs up, cancels then resigns up again with the same mailing address they will be billed the normal rate.
  16. Only one person shall be allowed to use the service per membership login at a time. This is to prevent one person from using an account and giving it out to hundreds of others. This is not fair to our other traders.
  17. Please treat the members and moderators with respect. No foul language, or abusive tones will be tolerated towards any member or our administrators.
  18. Cancellations are not effective until the end of the billing period they are received in:  i.e., if you cancel on October 8th you will still have access to the site until the 15th of the current month.
  19. Mentorship deposits and payments of any type are NON refundable. If you need to cancel or change a mentorship please contact Alex or Geoff and they'll be happy to work with you.
  20. If a moderator or Alex needs to take an extended leave of absence from the room for vacation or emergency reasons, we will try to let the members know in advance as soon as possible.
  21. Members whose method of payment declines will have three days to correct the issue or the account will be temporarily suspended.
  22. PureTick has the right to refuse or cancel membership at any time at its own discretion, so please follow the rules and behave.
  23. Phone calls to and from Alex are billed at the following rate. Alex's time is very valuable. Pure Tick receives over 100 calls and 400 e-mail requests per day. We are pretty swamped. Alex provides a phone consultation service at the rate of  $175/ per hour (billed in 10 minute blocks).  If you wish to receive a phone call from Alex please E-mail trading@puretick.com with your name and phone number. Mentorship attendees will automatically receive free contact from Alex for a full month after their visit has ended.
  24. Site memberships are billed under "Pure Tick" and will reflect as such on your credit card statement.
  25. Any violation of the above rules, spam, or promotion of external services will result in membership cancellation without a refund.
  26. Members who volitale any of these terms will be blocked from logging in the room with  with no refund.
  27. A processing fee of 13% will be deducted from all refunds from Pure Tick including all products, subscriptions and time slots.
  28. Mentorship deposits and payments of any type are NON refundable. If you need to cancel or change a mentorship please contact Alex or Geoff and they'll be happy to work with you.


SUBSCRIPTION PLEDGE

Why are you here?!  To make green!  We want you to be PROFITABLE, so much so that Alex and the rest of the staff have decided to make it their personal goal.   We feel that many subscription-based services are lacking in their ability or willingness to produce profitable trading calls which anyone can follow.  We want you to be satisfied with your bottom line and learn a few things along the way.
