Disclaimer

Finance Fluent is educational. Nothing on it is investment advice, and the author is not registered with SEBI in any advisory capacity.

Not investment advice

Articles here explain how instruments, structures and risk measures work. They are not recommendations, and they are not an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security or derivative. No article takes account of your financial circumstances, your objectives or how much loss you can absorb.

Not a registered adviser

I am not a SEBI-registered Research Analyst and not a SEBI-registered Investment Adviser. I hold no licence to advise you, and none of the regulatory protections that come with dealing with a registered intermediary apply to reading this site. For advice specific to your situation, consult a SEBI-registered adviser.

Derivatives risk

Options and futures carry a substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for every investor. Losses on a short options position can exceed the premium received and can exceed the capital in your account. Margin requirements change, and positions can be closed out by your broker at unfavourable prices. Treat every worked example on this site as an illustration of mechanics, never as a trade to place.

Prices and examples are historical

Every price, strike and premium used in an example is historical and lagged by at least three months, in line with the editorial policy. None of it reflects current market levels. Past performance is not a guide to future results.

No individual stocks

This site does not recommend, rate or set price targets on individual stocks. Where a security is named at all, it is to illustrate a calculation or a market mechanism.

Accuracy and currency

Regulations, exchange rules, margin frameworks and contract specifications change, sometimes at short notice. An article that was correct when published may no longer be. Check the dates shown on each article and verify anything material against the primary source before relying on it.

Your decisions are your own

Any action you take after reading something here is your responsibility, and so is the outcome. See the terms of use for the limits of liability that apply.
