Educational content only, not investment, tax or legal advice
Options Selling University is published by Premium Tracker for general education. Nothing here is investment advice, tax advice, legal advice, a recommendation or solicitation to buy or sell any security, or an endorsement of any strategy, broker, product or book. Nothing here is personalised to you: we do not know your circumstances, objectives, tax position or risk tolerance, and no page takes them into account.
Every price, payoff, greek, probability and return shown is a hypothetical illustration generated by a model from inputs you or we chose. Models are simplifications and their assumptions fail. These figures are not forecasts, not backtests, and not results you should expect. Unless a page says otherwise they exclude commissions, assignment and exercise fees, borrowing costs, taxes, slippage, dividends and early assignment. Hypothetical performance has inherent limitations and past performance never indicates future results.
Options involve substantial risk. You can lose more than the premium you collect, and some positions carry theoretically unlimited loss. Assignment can happen early and without warning. Before trading options, read the OCC's Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options , which your broker is required to provide.
Tax treatment depends on your jurisdiction and your individual facts, and changes over time. Any tax material here describes general U.S. principles only and may be out of date. Premium Tracker is a record-keeping and analytics tool. It is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or tax preparer, and none of its staff is a licensed financial professional. Consult a licensed adviser, broker and tax professional about your own situation before making any investment decision. You are solely responsible for your trades.
