Disclaimer & Education
What Collect52 is, what it isn't, and how to think about everything else on this site.
What we don't do
We do not manage accounts on a discretionary basis, and we never have the ability to place trades or move money in your brokerage account. If you choose to connect a brokerage account, that connection is handled through SnapTrade, a third-party account-aggregation provider, and is read-only — SnapTrade cannot place trades or transfer funds. We aren't responsible for SnapTrade's availability, accuracy, or any errors, delays, or outages in the data it provides — a connection issue or an incorrect balance is a problem with SnapTrade or your brokerage's own data feed, not something within our control. We use that connection to show you your own real positions, account value, and cash balance, and to power tools like Portfolio Construction and Portfolio Risk Comparison when you use them — and you always execute every trade yourself, directly through your own brokerage. Nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy or sell any specific security tailored to your individual financial situation. Content here is general — it's intended to help you learn how to evaluate options-income opportunities yourself, not to tell you what to do with your own money.
Our legal structure
Collect52 operates as an educational research service, not a registered investment advisor. This distinction shapes everything about how we communicate — our scores, statistics, and commentary are educational information, not personalized investment advice.
On win rates and scores
Any win rate, score, or backtested statistic shown on this site describes historical data only. It is not a forecast, and it does not account for every real-world factor that affects an actual trade. See our methodology page for how these numbers are calculated. See also our privacy policy for how we handle any information you share with us.
Options trading involves risk
Options trading carries the risk of substantial loss and is not suitable for every investor. You should understand the risks of any strategy before using it with real capital, and consider consulting a licensed financial advisor about your own circumstances.
