Risk Disclosure Statement

Last Updated: January 2025

IMPORTANT: READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PLATFORM

Trading stocks, options, futures, and other financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You could lose all or more than your initial investment. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.

General Trading Risks

Market Volatility: Financial markets can be extremely volatile. Prices can move rapidly in either direction, resulting in significant gains or losses in short periods of time.

Leverage Risk: Trading on margin or using leveraged products can amplify both gains and losses. You may lose more than your initial investment.

Liquidity Risk: Some securities may have limited liquidity, making it difficult to enter or exit positions at desired prices.

Systemic Risk: Market-wide events, economic conditions, or regulatory changes can affect all securities regardless of individual company performance.

Options Trading Risks

Options are complex instruments that require understanding of various factors including time decay, implied volatility, and the Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, Rho).

Time Decay (Theta): Options lose value as they approach expiration, even if the underlying security doesn't move. This time decay accelerates as expiration approaches.

Volatility Risk: Changes in implied volatility can significantly impact option prices, sometimes more than price movements in the underlying security.

Assignment Risk: Short option positions can be assigned at any time, potentially resulting in unexpected stock positions and margin requirements.

Unlimited Loss Potential: Certain options strategies (such as naked calls) carry unlimited loss potential. Always understand your maximum risk before entering a trade.

Before trading options, you should read the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options published by The Options Clearing Corporation.
