Frequently asked questions

What is included in my trial?

During your 30 day trial, you'll have full access to the Option Alpha platform and all the tools, including the backtester, screener, Trade Ideas, 0DTE Oracle, bots, automations, and the Community.

Will I be charged if I don’t cancel my trial?

Nope. We do not require any form of payment to start a trial and you'll never be charged unless you upgrade to a paid membership plan.

Do I need a credit card to start a trial?

No. All you need to start your free trial is an email address and password. We will never ask for payment during your free trial and there are no hidden costs. You can upgrade at any time here.

How many backtests can I run in my trial?

Unlimited. There are no limitations on how many backtests you can run.

Will Option Alpha build bots for me?

No, Option Alpha does not build or recommend bots for individual traders. We will, however, help guide you through using bots, setting up a bot and adding automations, and walk-through many examples and use cases for trading with bots.

What is a Bot?

Bots are like assistants that help with trading options. In Option Alpha, all trades and automated logic are performed by bots. A bot can also execute a complete trading strategy from entry to exit automatically.

How much does Option Alpha cost?

Option Alpha offers monthly and annual memberships with multiple pricing plans. See pricing for more details and learn how you can get a FREE Option Alpha Pro account.

Can I paper trade my bots first?

Of course. In fact, we always recommend paper trading your bots first. We built our own paper trading platform that uses live data, unlike the delayed data often provided by brokers. This means you can use Option Alpha even if you never connect to a brokerage account to fully test your ideas with real market data.

Do I need to know how to code?

Nope - never! Option Alpha requires no coding experience. None. Zero. Nada. Our entire platform was built with a no-code framework which means everyone can learn how to use bots and automations with no prior experience. Plus, we also have extensive autotrading resource center to learn how to start autotrading.

Do I need to download anything?

No, Option Alpha is a web-based trading platform that runs completely in the cloud which means you never have to download any local desktop software. We're always running, accessible from anywhere you have an internet connection. Plus, you never have to keep your browser open to run your bots either.
