⚠ IMPORTANT RISK WARNING

Options trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Before trading options, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. You could lose some or all of your invested capital. Do not invest money you cannot afford to lose.

For Informational Purposes Only

All information provided by OnlyOption — including but not limited to trade recommendations, AI-generated scores, market scans, risk assessments, and Autopilot strategies — is for informational and educational purposes only. This information should not be construed as a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or financial product.

Options-Specific Risks

  • Options can expire worthless, resulting in a 100% loss of the premium paid
  • Selling options (writing) can expose you to unlimited risk
  • Options are leveraged instruments that amplify both gains and losses
  • Time decay (theta) erodes option value daily
  • Implied volatility changes can cause significant price swings
  • Liquidity risk may prevent you from closing positions at desired prices
  • Assignment risk exists for all short option positions
  • Complex strategies (spreads, straddles, iron condors) carry multi-leg execution risk

Autopilot and Automated Trading Risks

  • Automated systems may execute trades during volatile market conditions
  • System failures, internet connectivity issues, or API outages may prevent trade execution or position management
  • Algorithmic strategies are based on historical patterns that may not repeat
  • The Kill Switch is a safety mechanism but cannot guarantee loss prevention
  • Slippage between the intended and actual execution price may occur
  • Automated trading does not eliminate the need for human oversight

AI and Algorithmic Limitations

These models have inherent limitations: (a) past performance does not guarantee future results; (b) models may not account for unprecedented market events (black swans); (c) AI-generated recommendations may contain errors; (d) market conditions can change faster than models can adapt.

No Guarantees

Consult a Professional

Before making any investment decisions, you should consult with a qualified financial adviser, tax professional, or attorney who can provide advice tailored to your specific financial situation and objectives.

Options trading is regulated by the SEC and FINRA. Before trading options, you must receive and review the document "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options" published by The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC).
