Important Disclaimers

Effective Date: 2026-05-02

DRAFT — Pending Legal Review

What ATLAS Is

ATLAS Options is a software tool for options trading education and analysis. We provide:

  • Educational content about options strategies, market regimes, and trading principles
  • AI-driven analytical commentary through our Vega agent
  • Paper-trading simulation tools
  • Market data visualization and screening

What ATLAS Is NOT

ATLAS is not:

  • A broker-dealer
  • A registered investment adviser
  • A financial planner
  • An execution platform
  • A holder of customer funds
  • Affiliated with any brokerage

We Do NOT Provide

  • Personalized investment advice
  • Recommendations tailored to your situation
  • Guarantees of trading outcomes
  • Tax advice
  • Legal advice

About Vega's Analysis

Vega is an AI agent operated by ATLAS. Vega's reasoning, theses, and commentary are:

  • Generated by AI language models
  • Based on general market data and historical patterns
  • NOT customized to any individual user's circumstances
  • NOT personalized investment advice
  • Subject to errors, biases, and limitations of AI systems

You should treat Vega's commentary as you would treat opinions from a knowledgeable trader on social media — informational, educational, but not actionable advice for your specific situation.

About Paper Trading

ATLAS operates entirely in paper-trading mode. This means:

  • No real trades are executed
  • No real money is at risk
  • No real broker connection exists
  • Simulated results do NOT reflect real-trading outcomes:
    • No slippage on entries or exits
    • No bid-ask spread costs
    • No fills issues
    • No taxes
    • No emotional pressure of real money
    • Idealized fills at midpoint pricing

Real trading involves additional costs, frictions, and psychological factors that are not modeled in ATLAS.

Risk of Loss

Options trading involves substantial risk:

  • You can lose 100% of capital invested in a single trade
  • Some strategies (naked shorts, uncovered calls) can result in losses exceeding initial investment
  • Options can expire worthless
  • Market movements can be sudden and severe
  • Liquidity can disappear in stressed markets
  • Implied volatility crush can cause rapid value decline

You should not trade options unless you fully understand these risks and can afford to lose the capital you commit.

Past Performance

Past performance, whether real or simulated, does not predict future results. Backtests, paper-trading results, and historical analyses presented in ATLAS are illustrative only.

Your Responsibility

You are responsible for:

  • Understanding the risks of options trading
  • Consulting qualified professionals (brokers, advisers, accountants, attorneys) before making investment decisions
  • Ensuring options trading is appropriate for your financial situation
  • Compliance with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction
  • All decisions you make based on information from ATLAS

Regulatory Notice

ATLAS Options is operated by Cornerstone Strategy LLC, a US limited liability company. We are not registered with the SEC, FINRA, or any state securities regulator as an investment adviser or broker-dealer. We do not provide services that require such registration.

If you are in a jurisdiction where access to ATLAS would violate local law, do not use the Service.

Acknowledgment

By using ATLAS, you acknowledge:

  • You have read and understand these disclaimers
  • You understand options trading involves substantial risk
  • You assume all risk for decisions made using ATLAS
  • ATLAS is not responsible for your trading outcomes
