# Risk Factors

In this section we're going to take a look at the different types of risk that play a role in the context of an options trading environment, be it in traditional finance or in decentralized finance:

* [Options](/knowledge-base/risk-factors/options.md)
* [Liquidity Pool](/knowledge-base/risk-factors/liquidity-pool.md)

It's paramount that you have a clear understanding of the risk factors before interacting with such an environment. It's not recommended to take part in any activity related to options trading unattended or without proper knowledge of the risks involved.

**You shouldn't in any circumstance entrust, deposit, trade or allocate more funds than you're willing to lose completely when dealing with options.**
