On any given trading day, the US options market generates over 40 million contracts across more than 5,000 underlying securities. Within that universe, tens of thousands of individual put contracts become available — each carrying its own premium, volatility profile, expiry structure, liquidity characteristics, and risk exposure. For a trader attempting to identify genuine income setups within that landscape, the volume is overwhelmingly unworkable without the right platform.
The tools that institutional desks use carry annual price tags ranging from $5,000 to over $25,000. Professional options desks employ analysts whose sole job is to do this work. For the individual trader, that level of rigour has simply never been accessible.
Beyond the volume problem sits the execution problem. New and intermediate traders consistently fall into the same traps — chasing elevated premium, selecting strikes without proper assessment, misunderstanding their exposure, ignoring liquidity spreads, misreading assignment risk, and more. These are not rare mistakes and they are very costly!
StratosIQ was built to close that gap for the everyday trader.
Every morning, fifteen minutes after market open, our model scans the full options universe. Every contract is run through a rigorous set of gates — screening for implied volatility rank, delta range, bid-ask spread, days to expiry, liquidity depth, capital efficiency, risk-adjusted return, downside buffer, historical IV percentile, and more — discarding everything that does not meet the standard. What remains is scored out of ten, ranked, and delivered directly to your inbox or Telegram channel in a clean, easy-to-consume format.
No terminal. No analyst. No hours of research.
Just the contracts that earned their place — at a fraction of the cost.
Every contract gets a score from 0 to 10. The higher the score, the stronger the balance between payoff, protection, and realistic pricing. Each score is built from three components:
How much room you have before risk increases, measured against a statistical floor.
How much premium you receive, and whether it's elevated relative to current conditions.
Whether the price shown is actually achievable — not just theoretical.
The market is complex. Your process doesn't have to be.
