Most options traders struggle to find good trading ideas and often make decisions using gut instincts or hunches, rather tha data and probability.

Sound familiar?

Trade Ideas is a new tool that uses real-time market data to pre-calculate and rank millions of potential option spread combinations every minute from 9:35am EST - 3:55pm EST during market days.

Now you can finally feel confident to find and enter your next great trade. Plus, use SmartPricing and 1-minute Exit Options to leverage automation when opening and managing positions.

In this workshop, you'll learn how to filter Trade Ideas, customize pricing and management settings, open new positions, and combine manual Trade Ideas with automated monitors.
