  • Carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite
  • Be prepared to lose some or all of your investment capital
  • Only trade with funds you can afford to lose without affecting your lifestyle
  • Understand all the risks associated with options trading and margin requirements

2. No Investment Advice

The Leveraged Wheel is an automated trading platform, not an investment advisor. We do not:

  • Provide personalized investment advice
  • Guarantee trading profits or returns
  • Make specific investment recommendations
  • Consider your individual financial situation or investment goals

3. Automated Trading Risks

Our automated trading systems carry specific risks that you must understand and accept:

  • Technical failures or bugs may cause unintended trading actions
  • Internet connectivity issues may affect trade execution timing
  • Market conditions may change faster than the system can respond
  • Trading algorithms may not perform as expected in all market conditions
  • System upgrades or maintenance may affect trading performance

4. Strategy-Specific Risks

The Wheel Strategy

  • Risk of stock assignment at prices above current market value
  • Potential for significant losses in declining markets
  • Limited upside potential due to covered call writing

Poor Man's Covered Calls

  • LEAPS options can expire worthless, resulting in total loss of premium paid
  • Complex position management may be required during market volatility
  • Higher sensitivity to time decay and volatility changes

Credit Spreads

  • Defined but potentially significant risk if price moves beyond spread width
  • Early assignment risk on short options

Trading results can be affected by various market factors beyond our control:

  • Market volatility and gaps
  • Economic events and news
  • Interest rate changes
  • Political events
  • Changes in regulatory environment

6. Past Performance

Past performance of our trading strategies is not indicative of future results. Backtest results and historical performance data have inherent limitations and do not guarantee similar future performance.

You are responsible for maintaining:

  • Stable internet connection
  • Updated trading platform access
  • Sufficient account funding
  • Proper account permissions for options trading
