RESEARCH & SCREENING / MEMBERSHIP

Compare cash-secured puts and covered calls with the Options Income Engine. Review expiration, strike, delta, bid/ask spread, premium, and capital required before opening a paper trade.
02 / BREAKOUT PULSE
Explore ranked stock setups for a short-term research horizon. Compare chart structure, relative volume, and target distance, then review the selected stock’s entry zone, stop reference, and reward-to-risk.
Illustrative interface screenshots—not live recommendations or performance results. No personal holdings or account balances are shown. Stops are reference levels, not automatic or guaranteed exits.
Membership uses ChatGPT sign-in. Both customer screeners and your own paper portfolio are included for $49/month or $490/year. Rankings are research signals, not guaranteed outcomes; paper results are simulated.
RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT / UOA
Unusual Options Activity (UOA) highlights contracts with elevated trading activity relative to open interest and meaningful estimated premium notional. It helps identify where options activity deserves a closer look.
The research tool combines contract activity with price momentum to form bullish, bearish, volatility, or indeterminate interpretations. Review the rationale, expiration, and uncertainty alongside the underlying chart.
Optional upgrade: Add UOA to your public screener membership for $20/month or $200/year. An active base membership is required. Combined price: $69/month or $690/year with matching billing intervals, before tax. Each subscription is billed separately.

Activity is a clue, not a conclusion. Calls are not automatically bullish, and puts are not automatically bearish. Activity may reflect hedging, closing trades, or multi-leg strategies. The current tool uses option-chain snapshots, not individual sweep prints or reliable buyer/seller initiation. Its scores and confidence labels are heuristics, not validated probabilities or proof of institutional intent.
