but as evident by the OP and all the people replying, I agree the site does a poor job at explaining the risks involved and at first glance comes a bit shady.  Their videos make me cringe on multiple occasions, and only come across as dishonest by clearly explaining the upsides. Showing a P/L chart with the x axis as bitcoin price, and y as the profit would go a long way to making it clear the risks/rewards being offered.

Or better yet, they could use the proper terminology (calls, puts, spreads, etc.) that 95% of people who would be willing to make such trades already know and understand. If you want to explain them simply, do so -- but as someone with extensive experience in derivatives even after watching the video I had no idea what the maximizer was until I studied the form UI
