Market data disclaimer

Last updated

Template notice: bracketed placeholders such as [COMPANY] and [STATE] in this document have not been filled in yet. They are set in legal-content.ts.

This disclaimer applies to every quote, chain, report, chart, alert and email produced by OptionsScreenerPro. It forms part of the Terms of Service. Read it before relying on any figure in the Service.

1. Delayed, not real-time

The Service does not provide real-time market data. Quotes are delayed, typically by at least 15 minutes, and open interest reflects the previous settlement. Outside trading hours the Service shows the last snapshot taken, which may be hours or days old.

Every view carries a freshness badge naming the provider, the declared delay and the "as of" time in US Eastern time, and shows a STALE marker when data is older than our threshold. The absence of a STALE marker does not mean the data is current to the second.

2. Snapshots and derived figures

The Service ingests data in scheduled snapshots and computes derived figures from them. Session volume is the total at the snapshot time, not the final total. Comparisons such as surge % and change % compare two snapshots we hold, which may not correspond to official daily statistics.

Approximate money flow, break-even, moneyness, spread net premiums, straddle and strangle costs and similar figures are our own calculations. They are approximations that can differ from exchange, clearing-house or broker figures and must never be treated as executable prices or as a record of trades.

3. Not investment advice

OptionsScreenerPro ranks and filters data. It does not recommend, endorse or rate any security, option, strategy or transaction, and nothing in the Service, its emails, alerts or documentation is investment, financial, legal or tax advice or an offer or solicitation. [COMPANY] is not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser or exchange. Consult a qualified professional before making investment decisions.

Options involve substantial risk, including the possible loss of the entire investment, and are not suitable for all investors. Read the Options Clearing Corporation’s "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options" before trading options. Past performance of any screen or report is not indicative of future results.

4. No warranty of accuracy

Data is supplied by third-party exchanges and providers and is provided "as is" and "as available". Neither we nor our providers warrant that it is accurate, complete, timely, sequenced or error-free, and we are not liable for errors, omissions, delays, interruptions or for any decision made in reliance on the data. Providers may correct, delay, suspend or withdraw data at any time, and we may change providers without notice.

5. No redistribution

Market data is licensed to you for personal, non-commercial use within the Service only. You may not redistribute, resell, publish, broadcast, scrape, systematically download or otherwise make the data or any derived dataset available to any third party, whether by API, export, screenshot, feed, bot, shared login or any other means, and you may not use it to build a competing service. Exports provided to paid subscribers are for personal analysis only and remain subject to this restriction.

Violation may result in immediate termination of your account and liability to us and to the data providers.

6. Providers and attribution

The Service routes requests through several data providers and names the provider that supplied each view. Provider-specific attribution and licence terms shown in the Service or in the provider’s own terms apply in addition to this disclaimer. Provider names and exchange names are trademarks of their respective owners and their use does not imply endorsement.

7. Summary of the core terms

  • All market data shown by OptionsScreenerPro is delayed or end-of-day data obtained from third-party providers. Quotes are typically delayed by at least 15 minutes; open interest is as of the previous settlement; some values are derived by us from provider data. Every screen shows the source, the declared delay and the "as of" time, and may show a STALE marker when data is older than our threshold.
  • OptionsScreenerPro is an information and screening tool only. Nothing on the Service constitutes investment advice, a recommendation, an offer or a solicitation to buy or sell any security, option or other financial instrument. We are not a broker-dealer, investment adviser or exchange and we do not execute trades.
  • Options involve substantial risk and are not suitable for every investor. Before trading options you should read the Options Clearing Corporation's "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options". You alone are responsible for your trading decisions and for verifying any figure with your broker before acting on it.
  • Data is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant that data is accurate, complete, timely, sequenced or error-free. Providers, exchanges and we may correct, delay, suspend or withdraw data at any time.
  • You may use the data only for your personal, non-commercial analysis within the Service. You may not redistribute, resell, publish, scrape, systematically download or make the data available to third parties, including through screenshots, feeds, bots or shared logins, and you may not use it to build a competing product or dataset.
  • Derived figures such as approximate money flow, surge percentages, break-even, moneyness and spread net premiums are our own calculations from provider data. They are approximations, can differ from exchange or broker figures, and must not be treated as executable prices.
