Please read the options disclosure document titled "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options". Supporting documentation for any claims or statistical information is available upon request.

Investing involves risks, including loss of principal. With long options, investors may lose 100% of funds invested. Hedging and protective strategies generally involve additional costs and do not assure a profit or guarantee against loss. Covered calls provide downside protection only to the extent of the premium received and limit upside potential to the strike price plus premium received. Spread trading must be done in a margin account. Multiple leg options strategies will involve multiple commissions.

Futures margin, also known as a “performance bond,” is the amount of money you are required to deposit in your futures account to establish and maintain a futures position. Futures margin is not a loan. If at any given time the funds in your account drop below the minimum regulatory requirement, or "house" margin requirements, you may be required to immediately deposit additional funds to maintain your position, or your position may be liquidated at a loss. You will be liable for any resulting debits. Charles Schwab Futures and Forex LLC may increase its “house” margin requirements at any time and is not required to provide you with advance notice of such requirement changes or liquidations initiated by Schwab. You are not entitled to an extension of time on any type of margin call.
