Automated options trading for active retail accounts. Connect your existing Schwab, Tastytrade, or Alpaca account — keep your broker, your keys, and your tax-advantaged accounts (taxable, Roth IRA, Traditional IRA all supported). No code. No moving funds. No black-box backtests.
Three engines (credit spreads + options + crypto) validated on a 5-year walk-forward backtest with publicly reproducible methodology. Per-tenant encryption, MFA + step-up re-auth, paper-by-default. 30-day money-back guarantee — if it's not for you, we refund. Cancel any time from the billing portal.
Three engines run in parallel; you choose which to enable.
90% allocation. Breakout + pullback scanner on equities, expressed as 30-DTE 0.70-delta options. Regime-Kelly sizing, swing-low stops, partial-take at 2R/3R/4R, eager pyramid into winners.
10% allocation, 24/7. 20-day breakouts with SMA 20/50 alignment, BTC SMA-100 bear filter, 8% hard stop, 30-day time stop. Pyramid + vol-target + conviction tiers.
Optional, off by default. Defined-risk short put/call vertical spreads on liquid underlyings. Theta-positive income strategy with capped loss per spread. Toggle on from the dashboard once you're comfortable with the other two engines.
Pay → get a dedicated VPS provisioned in 3-5 minutes → connect your broker → trade. No shared infrastructure anywhere on the paid path.
Pick a tier. Stripe handles checkout. The webhook fires the moment your subscription is active.
A fresh DigitalOcean droplet gets created with your name on it — your own trading engine, your own Postgres, your own AES-GCM encryption keys, your own broker credential vault. cloud-init bootstraps everything in ~3-5 minutes.
Welcome email with sign-in URL + initial credentials. MFA + step-up re-auth on every sensitive action. Connect your Alpaca / Schwab / Tastytrade / Tradestation / Tradier account. Paper-trade by default; explicit opt-in to flip live.
5-year walk-forward on pinned Alpaca bars. Deterministic, reproducible. Reproduce these numbers yourself →
| Variant | Sharpe | Avg/yr | Worst yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portfolio blend (90/10) | ~1.26 | ~+182% | +10% |
| Options (current shipped) | ~1.10 | ~+195% | ~+5% |
| Crypto (with stack) | — | ~+79% | -14% (2022) |
A 4-test battery on every shipped change.
Knob ±20% sweep — neighbors must be within 6% of peak. Rejects knife-edge optimums.
Higher returns can't come from looser risk controls. Profile must not be worse than baseline.
No single year drives the aggregate Sharpe. Rejects regime-luck strategies.
Top-10% trade share must be better than baseline. Rejects fragile "needs the home runs" strategies.
Broker credentials live here — security is treated as load-bearing.
Designed to be left alone.
Glance at the daily summary email + dashboard. Engines self-heal dead threads; certs renew automatically; backtest snapshots refresh on launcher boot.
1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM is plenty. Hetzner CX22 or DigitalOcean basic droplet. Domain registration optional but recommended for Let's Encrypt TLS.
One docker compose --profile prod up brings up
engines, dashboard, Caddy reverse proxy, optional Postgres for
multi-tenancy. Full runbook in DEPLOY.md.
Every paid plan gets your own dedicated DigitalOcean VPS. No shared infrastructure, no noisy neighbors, no shared blast radius. Free tier is paper-only on shared infra; the moment you upgrade you get an isolated server with your own broker keys + encryption keys.
See what the engines did + try them on any ticker. No credit card.
Your live trading account — isolated, automated, yours.
For serious automation — analytics, alerts, and strategy controls.
