Risk Disclosure
Last updated July 2026
Options carry substantial risk
Trading options is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You can lose the entire premium paid for a position, and losses can occur rapidly, particularly with short-dated contracts.
No guarantee of results
Alerts, commentary and statistics shared by The Options Lab are not guarantees of performance. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and your outcomes will differ based on timing, fills, sizing and fees.
You are responsible for your trades
Every member trades their own account and makes their own decisions. You should only risk capital you can afford to lose entirely, and you should consider consulting a licensed financial professional about your circumstances.
Execution differences
Alerts are published in real time, but liquidity, spreads, broker routing and delays mean your entry and exit prices may differ materially from those posted.
Standardised options disclosure
Before trading options you should read Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options, published by the Options Clearing Corporation, available from your broker.
