My Market Book provides general financial education—not individualized advice, recommendations or promises of financial results.
Maintained by My Market Book Editorial TeamReviewed September 2, 2026
01
Education—not advice
Everything provided through My Market Book—including the website, book, lessons, glossary, examples, diagrams, calculators, downloads and communications—is for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not investment, financial, securities, trading, legal, tax, accounting or retirement advice and is not tailored to any person’s circumstances.
02
No professional relationship
My Market Book is not acting as your investment adviser, broker-dealer, financial planner, fiduciary, attorney, accountant or tax adviser. Using the site, reading the book, submitting a form or receiving a communication does not create an advisory, professional, client or fiduciary relationship.
03
No recommendation
Nothing we publish is a recommendation, endorsement, solicitation or instruction to buy, sell, hold or avoid any security, strategy, asset or financial product. References to companies, ticker symbols, ETFs, indexes, bonds, options or other instruments are educational examples—not opinions about suitability or future performance.
04
Risk of loss
Investing and trading involve risk, including the possible loss of some or all principal. Prices can move quickly and liquidity can disappear. Options, leverage, margin, short selling and other complex or active strategies can involve substantial—and in some cases theoretically unlimited—loss. No strategy is appropriate for everyone.
05
Calculators and hypothetical examples
Calculator outputs and examples are simplified illustrations, not forecasts. Results depend entirely on the values entered and the assumptions used. They may omit fees, commissions, spreads, slippage, taxes, liquidity, volatility, financing costs, dividends, corporate actions and other important factors. Unless clearly stated otherwise, our tools do not use live market data. Actual results can differ materially, and no decision should be based on a calculator alone.
06
Performance and forward-looking information
Past performance does not predict or guarantee future results. Targets, projections, scenarios, historical examples and forward-looking statements are uncertain, may use assumptions that prove incorrect and must not be understood as promises of profit or protection from loss.
07
Accuracy, sources and changing information
We work to make the material clear and useful and may draw from public information, regulatory resources, company disclosures, market data and personal experience. Markets, laws, products and data change, and sources can contain errors. Our content may be incomplete, outdated or incorrect despite reasonable efforts. Verify current information with primary sources and regulated providers before relying on it.
08
Your decisions and professional guidance
You remain solely responsible for evaluating information, understanding risk and making your own decisions. Consider your goals, finances, experience, time horizon and tolerance for loss, and consult appropriately qualified professionals before making investment, financial, legal, tax or accounting decisions.
