Risk and Options Trading Disclaimer

1. Purpose and Scope

This Risk and Options Trading Disclaimer ("Disclaimer") applies to your access to and use of the TanukiTrade website, software features, indicators, scanners, dashboards, content, and any associated services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted this Disclaimer.

This Disclaimer is provided to inform users about key risks, limitations, and assumptions associated with market data, derived metrics, and trading-related activities.

2. High Risk Warning

Trading and investing in financial instruments involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all persons. You may lose some or all of your capital. Markets can move rapidly and unpredictably, and losses may occur quickly, including within a single trading session.

Options trading involves additional risks due to leverage, time decay, volatility changes, and expiration effects. Certain options strategies can result in rapid and significant losses.

Past performance, historical patterns, or any example outcomes do not guarantee future results.

3. Nature of the Service (Software and Automation)

TanukiTrade provides a software platform that offers analytical tools and data visualizations based on market data and predefined mathematical calculations. The Service may compute and display derived metrics (for example, aggregated open interest measures, delta/gamma-based exposure metrics, concentration measures, and related visual cues) based on user-selected parameters and configurations.

Outputs produced by the Service are generated automatically and are intended to present descriptive analytical representations of data. The Service does not make trading decisions for users and does not automatically execute or place transactions.

4. No Investment Advice; No Recommendations; No Trading Signals

The Service is not intended to provide, and should not be interpreted as providing, investment advice, investment recommendations, trading signals, or any form of personalized financial guidance.

Any information, metrics, levels, highlights, rankings, labels, or visual cues displayed within the Service reflect automated calculations and data presentation. They must not be interpreted as instructions to buy, sell, hold, or trade any financial instrument, nor as predictions or forecasts of future market movements.

4.1 Levels, Support/Resistance, and Options-Derived "Zones"

Any references to support/resistance, option open interest/volume concentrations, gamma/delta exposure levels, "zones", "walls", or similar price levels are descriptive observations based on automated calculations and data visualization. They do not imply a recommended direction (long/short) and must not be interpreted as an instruction to enter, exit, or modify any trade.

The Service is intended solely as a technical analytical tool and does not constitute regulated investment research or financial analysis within the meaning of applicable financial regulations.

5. No Suitability Assessment; User Responsibility

TanukiTrade does not assess the suitability, appropriateness, profitability, or risk profile of any transaction, strategy, or instrument for any user. The Service does not take into account your personal financial situation, investment objectives, tax position, legal circumstances, or risk tolerance.

You are solely responsible for:

• determining whether any trading or investment activity is appropriate for you;
• independently evaluating any information or outputs presented by the Service;
• performing your own due diligence and/or obtaining professional advice where appropriate.

6. Limitations of Information and Market Uncertainty

Financial markets are complex and uncertain. The Service may contain errors, delays, omissions, or inaccuracies. Market data and derived metrics may change rapidly, may be impacted by liquidity conditions, and may not reflect real-world tradable prices or executable outcomes.

No representation is made that the Service will be error-free, uninterrupted, or accurate at all times.

7. Options-Specific Risk Disclosure

Options are complex financial instruments. Risks include, but are not limited to:

• Leverage risk: small underlying moves may cause large option price changes.
• Time decay (theta): option value may decline rapidly as expiration approaches.
• Volatility risk: implied volatility changes may materially impact option pricing.
• Liquidity risk: certain strikes/expirations may be illiquid; spreads can widen.
• Assignment/exercise risk: short options may be assigned unexpectedly.
• Gap risk: price may move outside expected ranges, including overnight gaps.
• 0DTE and near-expiration dynamics: rapid gamma and liquidity changes can create extreme intraday swings and slippage.

Users should ensure they understand these risks before engaging in options trading or using options-related analytics.

8. Hypothetical, Simulated, and Example Outputs

Hypothetical, simulated, or example-based outputs have inherent limitations. Unlike an actual trading record, simulated results do not represent actual trades and may not reflect real-world execution constraints such as liquidity, slippage, fees, or market impact.

Any examples are provided solely to illustrate software functionality, concepts, or tool behavior. No representation is made that any user will achieve similar outcomes.

9. Testimonials and Example Results

Testimonials and user statements (if any) reflect individual experiences and may not be representative of typical results. Trading outcomes can vary widely based on skill, experience, risk management, market conditions, and many other factors. Any results shown in testimonials are not necessarily verified and should not be relied upon as indicative of future performance.

10. Data Sources, Delays, and Calculation Limitations (including Options Data)

The Service may rely on market data provided by third-party sources. Such data may be delayed, incomplete, subject to revisions, or contain inaccuracies. The Service may also use interpolation, modeling, or estimation methods for certain derived values.

For options-related metrics, the Service may use snapshot-based data feeds and may reflect delays during market hours. The Service does not display real-time option contract prices through the TradingView indicators; instead, it may display derived metrics and calculated values intended for visualization.

TanukiTrade may make errors in calculations or display and does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any data or outputs.

11. Third-Party Platforms and Independence (TradingView)

Certain features of the Service may be displayed through third-party platforms (for example, TradingView). These third parties are independent and do not endorse, sponsor, or control TanukiTrade's Service. Use of third-party platforms is subject to their own terms and policies.

TradingView® is a registered trademark of TradingView, Inc. TradingView has no affiliation with TanukiTrade and does not endorse the Service.

12. No Liability for User Trading Decisions

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, TanukiTrade disclaims responsibility for any losses, damages, or costs arising from decisions made by users based on the Service, including reliance on metrics, visualizations, levels, or any other outputs.

Users acknowledge that they use the Service at their own risk and remain solely responsible for all trading and investment decisions and outcomes.

13. Acknowledgement

By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you have read and understood this Disclaimer and that you accept the risks and limitations described herein.
