We turn a probabilistic read of where a stock is headed into the options structure that best expresses it — then size and manage it with discipline. Here is the process, and every kind of strategy we consider.
A disciplined pipeline runs on every name — and only the ideas that survive all of it are ever placed.
For every name on the watchlist we take in its recent price action, volatility, and broader market context.
Our forecasting engine projects not a single guess but a probability-weighted range of where the price could go — a cone of outcomes with a confidence.
Independent technical and fundamental signals must line up, and a panel of AI analysts reviews the setup and has to reach consensus before anything proceeds.
We compare the outlook — direction, and how big the expected move is versus what the options market is pricing — and select the strategy with the best risk/reward.
Every position is sized to a strict risk budget, then actively managed to profit targets and protective stops.
Rather than forcing one trade, the system scores a full catalog of options structures and picks the one that best fits the forecast and your risk setting. The charts show the profit & loss at expiration versus the stock price.
