Important Note: Options and futures transactions are intended for sophisticated investors and are complex, carry a high degree of risk, and are not suitable for all investors. For more information, please read the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options and the Risk Disclosure Statement for Futures and Options prior to applying for an account. You can also view the E*TRADE Futures LLC Financial Information and Disclosure Documents. Also, there are specific risks associated with uncovered call writing, including the risk that the underlying stock could be sold at the exercise price when the current market value is greater than the exercise price the call writer will receive. Please read the Special Statement for Uncovered Options Writers before you trade. Moreover, there are specific risks associated with buying options, including the risk of the purchased options expiring worthless. Because of the importance of tax considerations to all options transactions, the investor considering options should consult his/her tax adviser as to how taxes may affect the outcome of different options strategies and each options transaction. Commissions and other costs may be a significant factor. An options investor may lose the entire amount of an investment in a relatively short time.

Investing in securities involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Past performance is not an indication of future results.
Futures margin, also known as a “performance bond,” is the amount of money you are required to deposit in your account to open and hold a futures position. Unlike margin trading in the equity market, futures margin is not a loan. The amount of initial margin (i.e., required upfront capital) is small relative to the notional value of the futures contract. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit, which may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of your initial investment, any additional funds deposited to maintain your position, or potentially amounts exceeding your initial investment or the prior days’ minimum regulatory requirements, and which may require you to deposit additional funds into your account to satisfy any resulting debits. If the funds in your account drop below the minimum regulatory requirement at any given time, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position or your position may be automatically liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit. As a general matter, E*TRADE Futures LLC does not permit physical delivery of commodities or digital assets. Customers that hold futures to maturity may be subject to immediate liquidation including at a loss and appliable fees.
The use of derivatives (futures, options and swap agreements) may create additional risks that would not be present in the underlying securities themselves, thus raising the potential for greater investment loss. Examples include a reduction in returns, increased volatility, exposure to the effects of leverage, and the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations.
