General Risk Disclaimer
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OPTIONS TRADING
Options involve substantial risk and are not suitable for all investors. Options investors may lose the entire amount of their investment in a relatively short period of time. It is possible to owe more than you have invested in your brokerage account. Please be aware of your broker’s requirements for trading options. Before you decide to invest in the options market you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a substantial loss which could total more than your initial investment in a short period of time. Therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the risks associated with option trading, you should confer with a trusted and reliable independent financial advisor. None of the information provided by Street Smart Options LLC constitutes a solicitation to trade any investment or security of any kind.
Street Smart Options and/or its personnel may or may not own positions and/or trade any securities that are the subject of the education and subsequent information we provide. Street Smart Options is not affiliated with nor do we have any relationship with any brokers that you may open an account with.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. You acknowledge and agree that no promise or guarantee of success or profitability has been made between you and Street Smart Options. Testimonials as presented may not be representative of all reasonably comparative clients.

Electronic Trading Risks
Before you engage in transactions using an electronic system, you should carefully review the rules and regulations of the exchanges offering the system and/or listing the instruments you intend to trade. Online trading has inherent risk due to system response and access times that may vary due to market conditions, system performance, and other factors. You should understand these and additional risks before trading.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH TRADING THE STOCK MARKET
All investments involve risk, and the past performance of a security, industry, sector, market, financial product, trading strategy, or individual’s trading does not guarantee future results or returns.

Benefits and Risks of Leverage
Leverage allows traders the ability to enter into a position worth many times the account value with a relatively small amount of money. This leverage can work with you as well as against you. Even though the stock and options markets offers traders the ability to use a high degree of leverage, trading with high leverage may increase the losses suffered. Please use caution when using leverage in trading or investing.
Hypothetical Results
The results found on this website include simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do no represent actual trading.
The information that may be presented is based on simulated trading using systems and education developed exclusively by SSO. Simulated results do not represent actual trading. Please note that simulated trading results may or may not have been back-tested for accuracy and that spreads/commissions are not taken into account when preparing hypothetical results.
No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those that may be shown. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Individual results vary and no representation is made that clients will or are likely to achieve profits or incur losses comparable to those that may be shown.

U.S. Government Required Disclaimer – Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Futures and options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in the futures and options markets. Don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose. This website is neither a solicitation nor an offer to Buy/Sell futures or options. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed on this website. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results.
CFTC RULE 4.41 – HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY, SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.
Options are not suitable for all investors as the special risks inherent to options trading may expose investors to potentially rapid and substantial losses. Please read Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before investing in options.
Trading Signal Risk Disclosure Statement, Disclaimer And Indemnification
Trading stocks and options (“securities”) is not appropriate for all investors, and the risks of securities trading can be substantial. You should carefully consider whether securities trading is right for you in light of your particular circumstances and financial resources. By acknowledging this statement and contracting for the services provided by Street Smart Options LLC (“SSO”), you acknowledge that you have not sought advice from SSO regarding the appropriateness of securities trading for you, and SSO has not provided any such advice to you.
You agree and acknowledge further that the trading signals provided to you by SSO (trading signals) are not, and are not intended to be, an offer or solicitation to enter into any securities transaction, or any type of trading or investment advice, recommendation or strategy. You acknowledge that it is solely your decision to determine which, if any, SSO trading signals to use for trading (whether actual or simulated) at a Registered Broker/Dealer or other financial institution (collectively referred to as “Financial Institution”), and whether to send all, some, or none of the SSO trading signals to such Financial Institution for execution.
You understand that past performance associated with any trading signals offered by SSO, whether actual, hypothetical or historically “back-tested” is neither necessarily indicative of nor a guarantee of future performance or success.
Trading SSO signals may result in the total loss of the funds that you deposit at a Financial Institution, and you may incur losses in excess of your deposits. Leverage can work against you as well as for you, and can lead to large losses as well as gains. Moreover, funds held at such Financial Institution are typically not guaranteed or insured against misappropriation or the bankruptcy of the Financial Institution. You should only trade stock and options with funds that you can afford to lose.
Based on the foregoing, you agree that you shall not seek to hold SSO responsible for any losses associated with any trading signals provided to you by SSO. In the event that any claims, suits, actions, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arise out of or relate to the relationship between SSO and you, and/or any trading signals provided by SSO to you, you agree to indemnify and hold SSO harmless therefrom.
THIS BRIEF STATEMENT CANNOT DISCLOSE ALL THE RISKS AND OTHER ASPECTS OF THE STOCK AND OPTIONS MARKETS. YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR PRIOR TO TRADING STOCKS AND OPTIONS.
Testimonial Disclaimer
Past results as represented in these testimonials are not necessarily indicative of future results or success. Testimonials may not be representative of all reasonably comparable clients. Trading involves significant risk of loss and may not be suitable for all investors.
