Notes[edit]

This article is incomprehensible. Obviously, finance is a tricky subject and blah blah blah, but has there ever been a wikipedia article that more amazingly failed to explain its subject matter? JustinBlank (talk) 06:13, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Really, what the HELL, people? JustinBlank (talk) 06:14, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some links for key terms but this still needs a lot of work.85.8.202.193 (talk) 09:58, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Warning[edit]

One warning about options spread jargon that should be noted is the overuse and over reliance on the phrase 'limited risk'. While spreads help to limit risk, a trader can still wipe his account out to absolute zero by purchasing too many spreads and having the market move against him. Traders go broke all the time trading 'limited risk' spreads.
