Trading Risks
Options trading involves significant risks, including but not limited to:
- Loss of Capital: You can lose all or more than your initial investment
- Volatility Risk: Options can experience extreme price volatility
- Time Decay: Options lose value as they approach expiration

Options Trading Specific Risks
The options trading strategies discussed in our newsletter carry their own unique risks. These strategies are inherently higher-risk approaches designed to target higher returns. Winning trades may occur more frequently, but when losses happen, they can be substantial. Losses are an expected part of the process and cannot be eliminated entirely. The goal is to manage risk across many trades over time, not to avoid losing trades completely.
