1. Trading Risks
Trading stocks, options, and other financial instruments involves significant risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Before trading securities or any financial instruments, you should carefully consider your financial situation, level of experience, risk tolerance, and investment objectives.
The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in options trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.
2. Educational Purpose Only
The information provided by Squere Wealth Academy is for educational purposes only and is not intended to be individualized investment advice or recommendations. We do not advise on the purchase or sale of specific securities. Our courses, materials, and content are designed to teach general trading principles and methodologies, not to provide specific investment advice.
3. No Guaranteed Results
Trading and investing in financial markets involves risk. The performance results of any trading or investment strategy discussed in our educational materials are hypothetical and do not represent actual trading. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown in our courses or materials.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. No guarantees are being made that you will achieve results similar to ours or those of our students. In fact, no guarantees are being made that you will achieve any results from the ideas and techniques described in our educational content.
4. Hypothetical Performance Limitations
Hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike actual performance records, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity or market volatility. 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 profits or losses similar to those shown.
5. Individual Investor Variation
All trading and investment strategies depend on the ability of an individual to effectively implement that strategy. The ability to withstand losses and 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 actual trading results.
6. Market Volatility and Risk
The securities and financial markets are subject to widespread fluctuations due to various factors, including:
- Economic conditions
- Political events
- Market sentiment
- Corporate performance
- Regulatory changes
- Interest rates and inflation
- Global events and pandemics
These fluctuations can result in substantial losses in a short period of time. Markets can be particularly volatile during periods of rapid technological change, economic uncertainty, or global events.
7. Options Trading Specific Risks
Options trading entails significant risk and is not appropriate for all investors. Options trading could result in the loss of part or all of your initial investment and sometimes even more. Options investors may lose more than the entire amount invested in a relatively short period of time.
Prior to buying or selling options, you should carefully read the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options booklet, also known as the options disclosure document. It explains the characteristics and risks of exchange-traded options.
8. Seek Professional Advice
We strongly advise consulting with a qualified financial advisor, accountant, or attorney before making any investment decisions. They can provide personalized advice based on your individual financial situation, investment goals, and risk tolerance.
Do not make investment decisions based solely on the information provided in our educational materials or courses. Always conduct your own research and due diligence.
9. Tax Considerations
Trading and investing may have significant tax consequences. The tax treatment of investment gains and losses can be complex. We do not provide tax advice and recommend consulting with a qualified tax professional regarding your specific tax situation.
