Risk Warning
An option is a contract that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a fixed price on a specific date or before that date. The price of an option is influenced by various factors, including the current price of the underlying asset, the strike price, time to expiration, and implied volatility.
Implied volatility reflects the market's expectation of the option's volatility over a certain period in the future. It is derived inversely from the BS pricing model of options and is generally considered an indicator of market sentiment. When investors anticipate greater volatility, they may be more willing to pay higher prices for options to hedge risks, resulting in higher implied volatility.
Traders and investors use implied volatility to assessOption priceto enhance attractiveness, identify potential mispricing, and manage risk exposure.

Even if you set contingent orders such as 'stop-loss' or 'limit' orders, these may not prevent losses. Market conditions may make such orders unexecutable. You may be required to deposit additional margin within a short period. If you fail to provide the required amount within the specified time, your open positions may be liquidated. However, you will still be responsible for any shortfall in your account.
