Daily trading opportunities
There are dozens of ways to trade the markets, and through our different strategy lenses every client is prepared for what the market brings.
HEDGEROLL SIGNAL
Collar structure outperforming naked equity
Hedged equity strategy backtested over 17 years showing favorable risk-adjusted returns vs. unhedged position.
BLUE CHIP DIP
Elevated put premium detected on large-cap equity
Premium selling opportunities in top tier names where implied vol and momentum align.
From Signal to Action
STEP 1: SIGNAL
The Expensive Puts screener flags a blue-chip stock with elevated implied volatility — put premium is trading 30% above realized.
STEP 2: CONTEXT
The report shows the vol surface, ranks the opportunity against the full universe, and provides risk metrics for position sizing.
STEP 3: ACTION
You sell the put at the screener-identified strike. Clients see specific trade parameters; members use their own framework.
WHAT THE REPORT DELIVERS
Ranked context, not a static screenshot
Every Edge Screener refresh pulls live chains and surfaces: implied vs realized, skew and term structure, liquidity at the strikes, and where the name sits versus the rest of the universe that day.
Members work from the same tables and charts inside the app; clients additionally get the Trade Advice layer with concrete parameters when advisory is active on the account.
The Client Difference
Three pillars of a complete options portfolio
Options can be used to capture opportunity, manage risk, and leverage your portfolio. For clients we parse the different strategies, and give whole portfolio recommendations about when and where to apply the appropriate strategy. With a three-tiered risk test we zero in on your individual objectives.
