About StratosIQ

StratosIQ is a quantitative analysis model that applies mathematical algorithms to publicly available options-market data.

The platform systematically scores option contracts across the equity options market using consistent mathematical criteria rather than discretionary methods.

Each contract is scored through a standardised framework that measures premium received, downside buffer, and key contract characteristics. The model produces numerical scores and supporting metrics so users can review standardised outputs.

Every contract passes through a multi-stage quantitative pipeline before receiving a numerical score.

First, structural gates verify that each contract meets minimum tradability requirements — sufficient market depth, executable pricing, and defined event timing. Contracts that fail any gate are excluded entirely.

Contracts that pass are scored on a 0–10 composite scale. The model evaluates three primary dimensions: downside buffer distance from a statistically derived risk floor, the degree to which current implied volatility exceeds forward estimates, and bid-ask spread quality. Each dimension is normalised, weighted, and combined into a single score.

Market regime detection adjusts scoring thresholds based on current volatility conditions. In elevated-volatility environments, only higher-scoring contracts are published.
