Risk disclaimer

1550 is an educational tool, not investment advice.

Options trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Because this strategy compounds sequential 20% sleeves with no concurrent-seat cap, a string of full losses can still end a run.

Past performance, including backtests, does not guarantee future results. You are solely responsible for any trading decisions you make. Paper trading mode is recommended until you fully understand the strategy, execution model, and risks.

1550 may display signals, scans, and automated order suggestions. None of this constitutes a recommendation to buy or sell any security or option contract. Markets can gap, options spreads can widen, and fills can differ materially from displayed mid prices.

Risk capital

Options trading involves substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could lose all of the capital allocated to a trade. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading, and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical performance

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect trading results.

On this site, that includes backtests, paper trading, simulated fills, and observer books (ghosts, shadows, and similar ledgers). Those results are hypothetical. They are not a live brokerage statement and should not be expected to match live trading.
