Disclaimer
Last updated: October 31, 2025
This Disclaimer applies to all GammaLedger materials, including the public website, documentation, repositories, and the GammaLedger analytics application. By using any GammaLedger resource you accept the statements below.
1. No Investment Advice
GammaLedger provides portfolio analytics and record-keeping tools. We do not offer personalized financial, investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice. Any insights, metrics, or statements produced by the application are for informational and educational purposes only. Decisions based on the information provided are made at your own risk.
2. Investment Risk Warning
OPTIONS TRADING IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS
Trading in options and other derivatives carries a HIGH DEGREE OF RISK and is not suitable for all investors. You should carefully consider whether options trading is appropriate for your financial situation, investment objectives, and risk tolerance.
3.2. Specific Risks Include:
- LOSS OF ENTIRE INVESTMENT: You may lose your entire investment in a relatively short period of time
- LEVERAGE RISK: Options are leveraged instruments; small market movements can result in substantial losses
- TIME DECAY: Options lose value as they approach expiration
- VOLATILITY RISK: Changes in market volatility can significantly impact option values
- COMPLEXITY: Options strategies can be complex and difficult to understand
- LIQUIDITY RISK: Some options may have limited liquidity, making it difficult to exit positions
- MARGIN CALLS: Certain strategies may require margin and subject you to margin calls
- UNLIMITED LOSS POTENTIAL: Some options strategies (e.g., selling naked calls) have theoretically unlimited loss potential
You may lose MORE than your initial investment. In some cases, losses can exceed the amount of capital invested, particularly with margin accounts or certain options strategies.
3. Data Accuracy & Completeness
Analytics generated by GammaLedger depend on the data, pricing, and assumptions provided by you or third-party services. We do not independently verify the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of imported data. Use caution when relying on outputs, and validate calculations before making decisions.
While we strive to provide accurate calculations and data display, we make NO WARRANTY regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information provided through the Service.
Calculations, analytics, profit/loss data, and performance metrics are estimates and may contain errors. You should verify all information independently before making any trading decisions.
We are NOT responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the data you input or in the calculations performed by the Service.
4. No Guarantee of Results
Past performance is NOT indicative of future results. Any historical profit/loss data shown in your portfolio does not guarantee future investment performance.
No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those displayed in the Service.
5. Third-Party Content & Integrations
The Services may link to or interoperate with third-party APIs, brokers, or data providers. GammaLedger does not endorse, control, or guarantee the accuracy of any third-party services. Your use of third-party resources is governed by their separate terms and policies.
6. Regulatory Status
GammaLedger is an open-source software project and is not registered as a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or commodity trading adviser with any regulatory authority.

Software Bugs: The Service may contain bugs, errors, or technical issues that could affect functionality or data accuracy.

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory of liability (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise), even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
