Risk disclosure. Trading stocks and options carries a substantial risk of loss, and options can lose their full value quickly. Automated strategies can place orders you did not expect; check a strategy in Live Offline before it trades real money. Tradetron is a software platform, not a broker or an investment adviser, and nothing on this page is investment advice. TradeStation is a separate company; its names and marks belong to it.
