Options Trading Risk Disclosures
The following disclosures are material to your use of VIXShield and must be read carefully:
- Not an Investment Advisor: VIXShield and Russell Clark are not registered as investment advisors, broker-dealers, commodity trading advisors, or members of any self-regulatory organisation (SRO). Nothing on this platform constitutes a personalised recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or financial instrument.
- Educational Signals Only: The signals (including Iron Condor strikes, EDR readings, ALVH hedge recommendations, and Theta Time Shift levels) are generated by a systematic, rules-based methodology derived from published SPX Mastery books. They are provided as educational examples of the methodology in action — not as directives to trade.
- Substantial Risk of Loss: Options trading involves leverage and substantial risk of loss, including potential losses exceeding your initial investment. The ALVH hedge strategy reduces risk in backtested scenarios but does not eliminate the possibility of losses in live market conditions.
- No Guarantee of Results: Any historical performance data, backtested results, example trades, or projected outcomes are hypothetical and are provided for illustrative purposes only. Past performance is not and cannot be a guarantee of future results. Actual results will vary.
- Consult a Professional: Before making any investment or trading decision, you should consult a licensed and qualified financial advisor who understands your individual financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objectives.
