## 2. OPTIONS TRADING RISKS

⚠️ FINANCIAL RISK WARNING

OPTIONS TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS.

1. Risk of Total Loss
   • You can lose your ENTIRE investment
   • Options can expire completely worthless
   • Losses can exceed your initial investment in certain strategies
   • There is NO guarantee of profit

2. Market Volatility
   • Options prices are highly sensitive to market movements
   • Rapid price changes can result in significant losses
   • Market conditions can change without warning
   • External events (news, earnings, economic data) can cause extreme volatility

3. Complexity
   • Options are complex financial instruments
   • Understanding Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega) is essential
   • Different strategies have different risk profiles
   • Misunderstanding options mechanics can lead to unintended losses

4. Time Decay (Theta)
   • Options lose value as they approach expiration
   • This decay accelerates in the final weeks before expiration
   • Even if your market prediction is correct, you can lose money due to time decay

5. Liquidity Risk
   • Not all options have sufficient trading volume
   • Wide bid-ask spreads can result in poor execution prices
   • Difficulty exiting positions during volatile markets
   • Some options may be impossible to sell at fair prices

6. Assignment Risk
   • Short options positions can be assigned at any time
   • Early assignment can result in unexpected obligations
   • You may be required to buy or sell stock at unfavorable prices
   • Assignment can occur even if you have sufficient margin

7. Broker and Execution Risks
   • Order execution is handled by your broker (IBKR today; other broker integrations may be added later)
   • We have NO control over order fills, pricing, or execution quality
   • Market orders can be filled at prices far from current quotes
   • System outages or failures may prevent order execution
   • Broker APIs may experience downtime or errors

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS:

• OptionTrigger is a TOOL, not financial advice
• We do NOT provide investment recommendations
• We do NOT guarantee trading profits or success
• Past performance does NOT indicate future results
