Risk & Educational Disclosure

Farland Capital is an educational service. Nothing on this site or in the Academy is individualized investment, financial, legal, accounting, or tax advice, or a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell, hold, or trade any security, option, investment product, or strategy.

Options involve risk and are not suitable for every investor. Option buyers can lose the entire premium paid. Certain option-writing strategies can expose traders to losses greater than the premium received, and some strategies can create losses greater than the amount initially invested. Margin can magnify losses and can create demands for additional funds or securities.

Examples, illustrations, hypothetical portfolios, probabilities, backtests, and simulated outcomes are educational. They may omit commissions, taxes, bid/ask friction, liquidity constraints, assignment mechanics, margin changes, or other real-world effects unless specifically stated. Past or hypothetical performance does not guarantee future results.

Students are responsible for their own brokerage approvals, suitability decisions, position sizing, account constraints, tax considerations, and investment decisions. Course completion and any Farland Capital certificate document educational completion only; they are not securities licenses, professional designations, adviser registrations, broker approvals, or authorizations to manage or advise on assets.
