Disclaimer & Risk Disclosure
Last updated: May 17, 2026
โ Important Risk Warning
Options trading involves a high degree of risk and is not appropriate for all investors. The purchase or sale of options can result in the loss of your entire investment. In certain strategies, losses can exceed your initial investment. You should only trade with money you can afford to lose entirely. Before trading options, carefully read Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options published by the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), available at theocc.com.
1. No Financial or Investment Advice
OptixTraders ("we," "us," or "our") operates optixtraders.com solely as an educational and informational platform. Nothing on this website, in our emails, alerts, blog posts, picks database, strategy guides, learning materials, or any other content we publish constitutes:
- Financial advice
- Investment advice
- Trading advice
- A solicitation or recommendation to buy or sell any security, options contract, or financial instrument
- Legal, tax, or accounting advice
All content is provided for educational and informational purposes only. The information presented reflects quantitative screening outputs and general market education โ it does not account for your individual financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance, or tax position.
You should consult a licensed financial advisor, broker-dealer, or registered investment advisor before making any investment or trading decision.
2. Not a Registered Investment Advisor
OptixTraders is not registered as an investment advisor, broker-dealer, financial planner, or any other type of regulated financial professional with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), FINRA, or any state or international securities regulator.
We do not manage money, execute trades on your behalf, or act as a fiduciary. Our platform is a quantitative screening tool โ similar to a stock screener โ that surfaces trading setups based on mathematical criteria. Inclusion of a ticker or strategy in our output does not constitute a recommendation.
3. Options-Specific Risk Disclosure
Options are complex financial instruments. Before trading options, you must understand the following risks:
- Risk of total loss: Long options can expire completely worthless. You may lose 100% of the premium paid.
- Undefined risk in short strategies: Selling naked calls or puts exposes you to theoretically unlimited loss. Even defined-risk spreads can result in losses equal to the full width of the spread.
- Margin calls: Selling options typically requires margin. If your account falls below maintenance margin, your broker may liquidate positions without notice, potentially at a loss.
- Early assignment risk: Short American-style options may be assigned at any time prior to expiration, regardless of your intended exit timing.
- Liquidity risk: Some options have wide bid-ask spreads and thin markets. You may not be able to close a position at the price displayed on any screen or scanner.
- Leverage: Options provide leverage, which magnifies both gains and losses relative to the capital deployed.
- Gap risk: Overnight and weekend gaps can cause option prices to move dramatically before you can exit.
The strategies discussed on OptixTraders โ including short puts, iron condors, covered calls, and long options โ all carry material risk. Past wins on specific strategies do not predict future results.
4. Past Performance Disclaimer
Any historical win rates, P&L figures, scanner performance statistics, or trade examples displayed on this platform are provided for illustrative purposes only.
- Past performance is not indicative of future results.
- Simulated or hypothetical trade results do not reflect actual trading and may not account for slippage, commissions, bid-ask spreads, or market impact.
- The scanner's scoring model is based on quantitative factors (IV rank, delta, probability of profit, trend signals, etc.) that have historically correlated with higher win rates. This correlation does not guarantee future performance under any market condition.
- Individual results will vary significantly based on position sizing, trade management, broker selection, account size, timing of entry and exit, and trader discipline.
Most options traders lose money. Studies and regulatory disclosures from major retail brokers consistently show that the majority of retail options traders experience net losses over time. The 90/90/90 rule โ that 90% of traders lose 90% of their capital within the first 90 days โ reflects widely documented industry data.
