How it works

Every trading day, a fully automated pipeline scans the market and delivers ranked candidates to your screen.

01

Universe loaded

A curated universe of liquid symbols updated every day — AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, SPY, MSFT, AMZN, and hundreds more. Exchange-listed equities and ETFs only.

02

Chains scanned

Every trading day after market close, all available call option chains are pulled across every expiration — from the nearest weekly to LEAPS beyond 2 years — and analyzed.

03

Returns ranked

Each contract scored by annualized return. Example: NVDA $130 call expiring May 16 at $4.20 premium → 38.4% annualized. Top candidates per expiration surfaced. ITM first, then OTM.
