Trading in options is not suitable for everyone and often entails a high level of risk. Trading in options should be made with caution and you should carefully consider whether trading in options is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources, personal and financial circumstances, investment needs and objectives, investment knowledge, risk profile, investment time horizon, and other relevant circumstances. You should consult with your own business, legal, tax and account advisers before engaging into such transactions. Using borrowed funds to trade options involves greater risk than using cash resources only. If you borrow money, your responsibility to repay the loan and pay interest as required by its terms remains the same even if the value of the options decline. Before trading options listed on the Bourse de Montréal Inc., one should read and fully understand the current CDCC disclosure document entitled "The Characteristics and Risks of Listed Canadian Options". Trading of certain standardized Canadian Listed Options may not be permitted for U.S. Residents. To receive a copy of the CDCC disclosure document you can contact IB Customer service at 877-745-4222 or copy and paste this link into your browser: https://www.cdcc.ca/f_en/Options_Disclosure.pdf. Nothing in this communication should be considered an investment or trading recommendation by Interactive Brokers Canada Inc., or any of its affiliates.
