«Trading without structure is, simply, gambling.»
— Manny Díaz
This Risk Disclosure is an integral part of the Terms of Use of Wealth Prosperity Academy («WPA»). Read it carefully before enrolling in any educational program or trading in financial markets.
1. Educational nature of WPA
WPA is a private financial education academy. We are not a broker-dealer, we are not a registered investment advisor, we do not manage third-party capital and we do not issue personalized buy or sell recommendations on any asset. All our activity — books, manuals, seminars, communities, mentorships, proprietary platforms WPA PRO MATRIX and WPA PRO SELECT — has a strictly educational purpose.
Published content, analyses discussed in live classes and examples shared in the community do not constitute financial, tax or legal advice for any particular individual. Every trading decision is the sole responsibility of the Student.
2. Inherent risk of financial markets
Trading in financial markets, and especially in options markets on equities and indices, involves substantial risk of loss, including the possibility of losing all invested capital. Options are leveraged instruments with limited duration whose value can reach zero.
Before trading with real money, the Student must:
- Read and understand the document Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options (OCC, «Options Disclosure Document»).
- Honestly evaluate risk tolerance and financial situation.
- Trade exclusively with capital that can be afforded to lose without compromising personal or family financial security.
3. Past results ≠ future results
The historical performance of any strategy, instructor, student or backtest does not guarantee or suggest equivalent future results. Market conditions change. Volatility, liquidity, macroeconomic events and trader psychology decisively influence every outcome.
Pedagogical examples — including screenshots, TC2000 analyses, trades discussed in class or cases shared by students — are presented for educational purposes and must not be interpreted as a promise, projection or guarantee.
4. Institutional honesty about figures
WPA operates with radical honesty about its metrics. We do not publish inflated figures of students, countries, ratings, generated income or success rates. When quantitative data is shared, it will be real, verifiable and properly dated. If you find a quantitative claim in any piece that raises doubts, write to info@thewpacademy.com and we will verify it.
5. Risk management in the WPA PRO SYSTEM™ — 10% Daily Rule
The WPA PRO SYSTEM™ incorporates a capital management discipline we call the 10% Daily Rule. It is important that you understand precisely what it is and what it is not:
- What it is: a maximum daily exposure cap. The Student does not allocate more than 10% of the account value to options premiums on a single day, summing all trades opened during that session. It is a daily capital management rule that, by construction, limits the amount exposed to risk.
- What it is not: the 10% Daily Rule is not a stop-loss, it is not an automatic close order, it is not a mechanism that closes positions when a loss reaches a determined level. Protection comes from the daily exposure cap combined with the favorable contract asymmetry when trading inside the Sweet Spot defined by the system.
The correct application of the 10% Daily Rule, together with the Points System and the 19 Non-Negotiable Rules, is the sole responsibility of the Student. WPA teaches the discipline; the Student executes it.
6. Operational Patience philosophy
Under the Paciencia Operativa philosophy, the WPA PRO SYSTEM™ favors operational patience over frequency. Not trading is also a valid decision and, frequently, the correct one. Any WPA communication that creates anxiety to trade contradicts our doctrine and must be ignored.
7. No guarantee of results
WPA does not guarantee that the Student will obtain profits, recover the investment in training, achieve operational consistency within a determined timeframe or avoid losses. Training reduces avoidable errors and provides structure; it does not eliminate market risk.
8. Tax implications
The tax treatment of profits and losses derived from trading varies according to jurisdiction and the personal situation of each Student. WPA does not provide tax advice. Consult a qualified professional in your country of residence.
9. Emotional and financial health
Trading can generate significant emotional stress. If you detect that trading is affecting your mental health, personal relationships or financial stability, stop trading and seek professional support. The philosophy Inner Mastery, Outer Wealth orders the mind before money for a reason: there is no sustainable wealth on top of inner disorder.
10. Standard legal text
Financial education does not guarantee specific results. Investing in financial markets involves risk, including the possible loss of invested capital. Past results are not a guarantee of future performance. WPA's objective is to provide tools and methodology for informed decision-making.
11. Acceptance
By enrolling in any WPA product or program, you declare having read, understood and accepted this Risk Disclosure in its entirety, and acknowledge that any trading decision is your sole responsibility.
