Risk, Editorial, and Affiliate Disclosures
Important information about risk, educational content, examples, advertising, and affiliate relationships.
General educational purpose
Options Blog publishes general educational and informational material. Content is not individualized investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice and does not consider any reader’s objectives, financial situation, experience, or risk tolerance.
Options risk
Options involve risk and are not suitable for every investor. Buyers can lose the entire premium. Sellers can face assignment, substantial losses, and—in some uncovered strategies—theoretical losses without a fixed upper limit. Multi-leg orders can fail to execute as expected, and closing one leg can materially change risk.
Examples and case studies
Examples may be hypothetical, simplified, delayed, paper-traded, or historical. Hypothetical results have important limitations and do not represent actual trading. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Affiliate relationships and advertising
Options Blog may receive compensation when a reader uses certain links or purchases products. Material relationships should be disclosed clearly near the relevant recommendation or link. Compensation should not guarantee favorable coverage.
Data and errors
Market information can be delayed, incomplete, or incorrect. Readers should confirm all contract specifications, prices, corporate actions, and broker requirements independently. Submit correction requests through the Contact page.
No custody or account access
Options Blog should never request brokerage passwords, wallet seed phrases, or authority to place trades unless the business later establishes a separately reviewed and appropriately regulated service.
