Terms Of Use

Terms of Use Agreement

Option trading Involves Risk And Is Not Suitable For All Investors  

Options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risks.   You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them as your own risks in order to invest in the options markets.  Don't trade with money you can't afford to lose.  This website and/or any of the San Jose Options, Inc. materials, whether digital or printed, or communication between our employees/directors and the customer, should not be construed as either a solicitation, recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell a security.  There are great risks when trading options.  We do not guarantee that we will point out every risk that exists with option trading because of the endless possibilities, human errors, software issues and omissions, incorrect data, and the fact that the stock market never does the same exact thing twice.  All markets are dynamic, and you must understand and accept that this means that risk is not absolutely predictable or predetermined.  Customers of our service must consider all relevant risk factors in their investments before ever trading options and exposing their personal financial situation to risk.

Past Performance Does Not Guarantee Future Results

No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed on this website or in our educational courses.  The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results.  The stock markets, currency markets, futures markets and other markets you may invest in are all dynamic and never repeat themselves exactly.  Therefore, it is impossible for us to guarantee you future results even though we may have achieved positive results in the past.

Simulated Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical and simulated performance results have certain limitations.  Simulated results, although they may be very similar to real trading, do not represent actual trading.  Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under or over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity or incorrect configurations in software.

Back Testing Disclaimer

Back tested results and simulated trading programs in general are subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight.  Back tested results do not guarantee future trading results.  All markets are dynamic and never repeat themselves the same.

Our Innovative Strategies Are Always Changing and Under Development

San Jose Options, Inc. is a development course of unique and proprietary strategies.  Our users must understand that since all of our trades are for study purposes only, we may intentionally leave them on through all market conditions in order to learn as much as possible about these trades.  We are constantly collecting data in order to improve our strategies.  This means some of our studies may intentionally be put through market conditions that cause them to lose money.  Therefore, we do not recommend our users to follow our trades with real money.  The purpose of our "Follow Along" and "Paper Case Studies" is for learning purposes only.  Furthermore, since our course foundation is on the innovation of new ideas, many of our strategies do not have lengthy historical trading records.  Therefore, each user of our service must understand and accept the risks involved in trading our strategies that do not have much historical past data available.  Even though they are mathematically much safer than the traditional option strategies on the market, there is still risk involved which may be indeterminable due to dynamic markets and the lack of historical trading data.
