Market volatility, volume, and system availability may delay account access and trade executions. Trading options in an actual account can involve substantial risks not suitable for all investors. Clients must consider all relevant risk factors, including their own personal financial situations, before trading. Past performance of a security or strategy does not gurantee future results or success. The paperMoney® software application is for education purposes only. Successful virtual trading during a one-time period does not guarantee successful investing of actual funds during a later time period—markets change continuously.
