Trading stocks and stock options involves substantial risk and is not suitable for every investor. The valuation of stocks and options may fluctuate, and as a result, investors may lose more than their original investment. Stock and options trading can be extremely volatile, and gains and losses can happen rapidly. Prior to buying or selling options, investors must read and understand the characteristics and risks of standardized options. 

It is essential to conduct your own research and analysis or seek advice from a qualified financial advisor to determine whether trading fits your risk tolerance, financial situation, and investment objectives. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and you should only invest money that you can afford to lose. Additionally, trading on margin or using leverage can amplify losses and lead to significant financial risk. 

No trading strategy or investment plan can assure a profit or prevent loss, and you should be aware of all potential risks before entering the market. Always use proper risk management techniques and consider the tax implications associated with trading. 

For more information on options trading risks, refer to the Options Disclosure Document. 


Trading futures and futures options involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. Futures trading is highly speculative and leveraged, which means it can result in significant gains or severe losses. Because of leverage, even small market movements can have a large impact on your trading account, potentially resulting in the loss of more than your initial investment. There is a risk of liquidation or margin calls, which may force the closing of positions at unfavorable prices, amplifying losses. 

Futures options carry additional risks, as the value of an option can be affected by changes in volatility, time decay, and underlying price movements. These factors can cause the premium of an option to diminish rapidly. It is essential to fully understand the nature and risks associated with futures options, including their potential illiquidity and the possibility of early exercise or assignment. 

Before trading futures and futures options, investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance, experience, and financial condition. You should also consult a licensed financial professional to determine whether these trading strategies are appropriate for your specific investment goals and circumstances. 

No strategy or investment plan can guarantee profits or prevent losses. Always use proper risk management strategies, such as setting stop-loss orders and limiting exposure, and be prepared for the possibility of total loss. 

For more information on futures trading and the risks involved, consult the NFA Investor Information and Disclosure.
