Terms, disclaimer & cookies

Version 2026-09-28. Please read this once; you can find it again at any time under your account.

1. What this site is

Option Bridge is a private, experimental tool set for tracking and researching option trades (mainly selling puts) and stock portfolios. It is built and run by one private person as a non-commercial hobby project, for a small group of invited users. It is not a financial institution, broker or licensed advisor, and it can change, break or disappear at any time.

2. No investment advice

Nothing on this site is investment, tax or legal advice or a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Signals, scores ("go / no-go"), alerts, paper trades, strategy analyses, IV readings and every other output are information only, produced by software that can be wrong. You decide and act yourself, at your own risk. Options can lose (much) more than the premium you receive; only trade with money you can afford to lose.

3. Data and paper trading

Prices, option chains, implied volatility, dividends, exchange rates and other data come from third parties and can be delayed, incomplete or wrong. Paper trades are simulated: no real orders are placed and real fills, costs and outcomes will differ. Past or simulated results say nothing about future results.

4. Your data and backups

Your journal, portfolio and settings are stored on the server, but no guarantee is given that they are kept safe or available. Make your own backup regularly (for example weekly and before big changes): in the Options Journal via Data ▾ → Export JSON, and keep your broker exports. The site can not be held responsible for lost, damaged or incorrect data.

5. No warranty, no liability

The site is provided "as is", without any warranty. To the maximum extent allowed by law the maker is not liable for any loss or damage of any kind (including trading losses, lost profit or lost data) resulting from using or not being able to use this site, its data or its calculations, and no claims can be made on that basis. By using the site you accept this risk.

6. Your account

Keep your password to yourself and change it on your account page. The administrator can reset, limit or close accounts. Report anything that looks wrong or insecure to the administrator.

7. Cookies and storage

• One cookie, trigger_session: keeps you signed in (up to 7 days). Strictly necessary; without it the site does not work. It is not used for tracking.
• Browser storage (local storage) for your own settings such as light/dark theme, sorting and open panels. It stays in your browser.
• No analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and no data is sold or shared for marketing.
• Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, so your browser contacts Google's servers (which see your IP address). Market data is fetched by the server, not by your browser.
• What is stored about you: your username, a hashed password, what you enter yourself (trades, portfolios, watchlists) and the date you accepted these terms. Ask the administrator to see or delete your data.

8. Voluntary support

Using the site is free. If you choose to chip in a few euros to support the project, that is a voluntary gift and not a payment for a service, subscription, advice or data. It gives no right to access, uptime, support, features or results, and it does not change anything in the sections above. Gifts are not refunded.

9. Changes

These terms can change. When they do you will be asked to accept the new version the next time you use the site.
