Risk disclosure

OptionTrigger — Risk disclosure Version 2026-10-08.1 • Effective October 8, 2026

1. Options and expiration

Options are complex and can lose the entire premium. Time decay, volatility, wide spreads and limited liquidity can cause losses even when the underlying moves as expected. Exercise, assignment, fees and expiration can create obligations beyond the displayed option value. OptionTrigger is designed around single-leg long-option workflows; that scope does not remove broker exercise or account risks. Review your broker's disclosure and OCC's Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before trading.

2. Automation and execution

Arming a plan allows the local Backend to react automatically under its saved rules. A chart trigger uses the underlying price; the option execution depends on actual option quotes, liquidity and broker handling. Stops, maximum-loss rules and timers do not guarantee a fill, price or loss cap. Orders may be rejected, delayed, partially filled or remain open while a cancellation is pending. An accepted command is not a broker fill. Fees, slippage and gaps may increase actual losses.

3. Data, connections and software failure

Real-time options data requires the relevant broker entitlement and sharing with Paper where applicable. Delayed, frozen, stale or missing quotes are not substitutes for valid real-time executable prices; safety checks may prevent new exposure or automatic risk exits. App/Backend shutdown, sleep, power loss, internet or broker outage, chart-source loss, recovery barriers and UNKNOWN orders may interrupt automation. Previously broker-submitted orders can remain active. Check actual orders and holdings directly with your broker and keep an independent way to cancel or close them. Never assume the absence of a chart tool means a broker position is closed.

4. DEMO, Paper and Live

DEMO and Paper are simulations. Simulated liquidity, fills, delays, fees and performance may differ from Live. Successful Paper tests do not establish Live safety or future profitability. Confirm the actual account mode, contract, expiry, quantity and market-data state. A subscription alone does not authorize a specific Live order; valid entitlement, actual account verification and all safety checks still apply. Observe the product's current release and account restrictions.

5. Third-party integration and updates

OptionTrigger is not affiliated with TradingView or IBKR. TradingView’s published terms restrict its content to display use and prohibit automated-trading use and related third-party products without separate authorization. OptionTrigger has no written permission covering the current integration and commercial use. Neither an acknowledgment nor a subscription supplies those rights; do not use that integration for automated trading until the necessary rights are established. See https://www.tradingview.com/policies/. Chart injection and a managed TradingView Desktop copy may also stop working after an update; account restrictions, compatibility and support risks exist. Signed software reduces distribution tampering risks but does not prove the absence of bugs. A failed update, missing local service or expired license must be treated as a change in available capability, not a guarantee that protection remains active.

6. Acknowledgment and emergency actions

Confirm that you understand the preceding risks before new exposure. New or changed terms require explicit confirmation. Declining or postponing does not disable existing protection or block viewing, cancelling, reducing or closing through available product safety paths. Those operations remain subject to existing broker, recovery and quantity checks. If the product is disconnected or cannot confirm execution, manage risk in the broker's own interface. OptionTrigger is a tool, not financial advice, and offers no return or maximum-loss guarantee.
