Options involve risk and are not suitable for all investors as the special risks inherent to options trading may expose investors to potentially rapid and substantial losses. Please review the <a
 href="https://www.theocc.com/Company-Information/Documents-and-Archives/Options-Disclosure-Document"

 >Options Clearing Corporation Options Disclosure Document</a
 > for the risks associated with trading options. Hedging and protective strategies generally involve additional costs and do not assure a profit or guarantee against loss.
With long options, investors may lose 100% of funds invested. Covered calls provide income,
downside protection only to the extent of the premium received, and limit upside potential to the strike price plus
premium received. Multi-leg option orders are not a standard option trade. There is no national best bid or offer for
multi-leg orders. Multi-leg trades are executed on the exchanges at the discretion of specialists or market makers, who
cannot be held to a net price on a multi-leg order. Therefore, you may not receive the national best bid or offer on
each individual leg of an order. Multi-leg orders are executed as a single trade on the same exchange. Legs cannot be
executed separately on different exchanges to get the national best bid or offer for each leg. Each individual leg of a
multi-leg order can be subject to early exercise risk, possibly taking away the protection that the multi-leg position
may provide. Partial or full assignment on a leg may originate a margin call or losses greater than you anticipated when
you entered into the position. When a multi-leg order is canceled or filled, additional reporting may be required by the
specialist or market maker. Reporting fills and cancels may cause delays and create risks, especially in fast moving
markets. Other risks might be associated with multi-leg options trading.
