Set Realistic Expectations• OptionWin assumes that you have working knowledge of Options

and are aware of inherent risks of trading Options• OptionWin displays delayed stock quotes. When initiating a trade

you may not get the prices that are displayed on the site• Options in many securities are thinly traded or illiquid. Before

initiating a trade in these securities, consider the risks of not getting the best price when closing the trade

• Brokerage fees (commissions + fees + taxes) can eat into your profits. Factor in these costs before initiating a trade. Additionally, choose the right broker for options trading

• An Option Lot size is the minimum quantity of options that are required for a trade. Be aware of the Lot size for each security you wish to trade

• DO NOT blindly rely only on OptionWin data and charts for your trading. Recheck the prices with your broker before trading
