Options involve risk. Prior to buying or selling an option, an investor must receive a copy of Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options from your broker. Prior to using CMI's trading signals it is mandatory that subscribers read, and understand, CMI's Trading Instructions. Traders need a broker to trade options, and must meet suitability requirements. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future performance. Due to the exclusive nature of CMI's services, applicable subscription fees for trials (6-weeks) are non-refundable. Pro-rata refunds are issued for subscriptions longer than 6-weeks and are based on the actual term of service used, however such requests must be in writing via email. Telephone requests for refunds will not be accepted. Performance figures are based on actual recommendations made by CMI. Due to the time critical nature of options trading, brokerage fees, and the activity of other subscribers, CMI cannot guarantee that subscribers will mirror the exact performance stated on our track records. Performance numbers shown are based on trades subscribers could enter (and exit) based on our trading instructions.
