Risk Disclosure

Options trading can lose you money

Options trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. You should not trade options with money you cannot afford to lose entirely.

The alerts we publish are for short-dated weekly options. These are among the most volatile instruments available to a retail trader. A position can lose most or all of its value inside a single session, and expiring worthless is a normal outcome, not an unusual one.

Losing trades are part of the method

Momentum trading produces losing trades routinely. A setup can break the level, hold it, and still reverse. No selection process removes this, and ours does not claim to.

Every alert carries a maximum 30% stop. That is a ceiling on the loss we consider acceptable on the option premium — not a prediction, not a floor under the price, and not a guarantee you can exit at that level. In a fast market, a position can pass through your intended exit before an order fills.

Time decay works against you

A short-dated option loses value simply because time passes, and that decay accelerates as expiration approaches. A stock that moves in your favour too slowly can still leave the position at a loss.

We are not your financial adviser

Nothing published by Uncle Wallstreet — on this site, in the newsletter, or anywhere else — is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice, and nothing is a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

We are not a registered investment adviser or a broker-dealer. We do not know your financial position, your obligations, or your tolerance for loss, and none of our alerts are tailored to them. Every trading decision you make is your own. Consider taking advice from a licensed professional before trading.

Past results do not predict future results

Any performance figure, example, or illustration — including the sample alerts shown on this site — describes the past or an invented scenario. Neither predicts what any future alert will do. Illustrative examples are not records of real trades.

Alerts are published before the open, and never updated

Alerts are sent before the market opens and are not revised afterwards. We publish no exit alerts. Once a setup triggers, managing and closing the position is entirely yours, and doing so requires watching the market yourself.

Trade on paper first

If you are new to options, or new to this format, follow the alerts in a simulated account until reading and managing them feels routine. There is no advantage to rushing this. Subscribers get a signal tutorial and a seven-day options crash course, both linked from the newsletter.
