Risk Disclaimers
Last updated: August 2026
Not Investment Advice
IYMP SMART ("the Service"), operated by IYMP, Inc., is an educational and informational software tool. Nothing on this website or in the Service — including signals, alerts, trade plans, conviction scores, suggested contracts, strikes, position sizes, targets, or stop levels — constitutes investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security or derivative.
IYMP, Inc. is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or financial planner, and is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities authority. All content is provided for informational purposes only. You alone are responsible for your trading decisions, and you should consult a licensed financial professional before trading.
Options Trading Risk
Options are complex instruments and carry a high risk of rapid loss. You can lose 100% of the premium paid on any options position — and short options strategies can lose more than the initial investment. The short-dated options discussed in the Service are among the highest-risk instruments available to retail traders: they are extremely sensitive to price movement, time decay, and changes in implied volatility, and routinely lose most or all of their value within days.
Before trading options, read "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options" published by the Options Clearing Corporation, available from your broker or at theocc.com.
No Performance Guarantee
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Win rates, signal histories, and outcome statistics shown in the Service reflect historical data only and will not predict future performance. Market conditions change; strategies that worked in the past can fail at any time.
Backtested and Hypothetical Results
Portions of the Service display backtested or simulated performance. Backtested results are hypothetical, are produced with the benefit of hindsight, do not reflect actual trading, and do not account for slippage, commissions, liquidity constraints, or the emotional discipline required in live markets. Hypothetical results are inherently less reliable than live results, and actual trading results are typically worse. Where the Service labels data as "backtest" versus "live tracked," those labels describe the data source, not a promise of accuracy.
Data Accuracy and Delays
Market data displayed by the Service may be delayed (typically 15 minutes or more), incomplete, or inaccurate. Option value estimates are mathematical approximations, not quotes. Always verify prices, strikes, expirations, and every other detail in your own brokerage before placing any trade.
AI-Generated Content
The Service uses artificial intelligence to generate analysis and commentary. AI-generated content can be incorrect, incomplete, or misleading, and must not be relied upon as fact or advice. Treat every AI-generated statement as a starting point for your own research, not a conclusion.
Your Responsibility
Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Position sizing suggestions in the Service are mathematical illustrations, not advice tailored to your financial situation, objectives, or risk tolerance. By using the Service you accept full responsibility for all trading decisions and outcomes, and you agree that IYMP, Inc. and its officers, employees, and contractors have no liability for any losses arising from your use of the Service, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
