Important note:

Options involve risk and are not suitable for all investors. For more information, please read the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before you begin trading options. Also, there are specific risks associated with covered 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. A covered call writer forgoes participation in any increase in the stock price above the call exercise price and continues to bear the downside risk of stock ownership if the stock price decreases more than the premium received. Because of the importance of tax considerations to all options transactions, the investor considering options should consult their tax advisor as to how taxes affect the outcome of each options strategy. Commissions and other costs may be a significant factor. An options investor may lose the entire amount of their investment in a relatively short period of time.

Understanding options Greeks

An understanding of “the Greeks” can be useful to any options trader. In a nutshell, options Greeks are statistical values that measure different types of risk, such as time, volatility, and price movement. Though you don’t necessarily need to use the Greeks in order to trade options, they can be very helpful in measuring and understanding certain risks.

Important note: Options 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 prior to applying for an account. Also, there are specific risks associated with uncovered options writing that expose the investor to potentially significant loss. Please read the Special Statement for Uncovered Options Writers before you trade.

Trading on margin involves specific risks, including the possible loss of more money than you have deposited. A decline in the value of securities that are purchased on margin may require you to provide additional funds to your trading account. In addition, Wallstreet Euro Futures LLC can force the sale of any securities in your account without prior notice if your equity falls below required levels, and you are not entitled to an extension of time in the event of a margin call.

When trading on margin, an investor borrows a portion of the funds they use to buy stocks to try to take advantage of opportunities in the market. The investor pays interest on the funds borrowed until the loan is repaid.

For each trade made in a margin account, we use all available cash and sweep funds first and then charge the customer the current margin interest rate on the balance of the funds required to fill the order. The minimum equity requirement for a margin account is €2,000. Please read more information regarding the risks of trading on margin.

Wallstreet Euro credits and offers may be subject to U.S. withholding taxes and reporting at retail value. Taxes related to these offers are the customer’s responsibility.

Wallstreet Euro reserves the right to change the offer terms or terminate the offer at any time without notice.
