Options income desk · Beta
Pick a stock and a strike distance, and see one example setup worked through: what it involves, what it could earn, the most it could lose, and how it might play out. An education and analysis tool, not investment advice.
Income on shares you own, getting paid to buy cheaper, or income with a capped loss.
Exact strike and expiry, the cash you receive, the odds, and the worst case in dollars.
Simulate calm weeks, crashes and rallies, and see exactly what to do in each.
What do you want to do?
Which stock or fund?
☆ pins to your watchlist (this device). E = earnings before expiry. IV = implied volatility. 🔒 = Pro.
How far from today's price?
How long until expiry?
The curve shows how likely each price is at expiry: the higher the curve, the more likely. Red is where your trade would lose money.
The forecast blends three independent models, like an ensemble weather or solar forecast. Market: what option prices imply. Volatility: how much the stock has actually been moving lately. History: its real last 50 days, replayed in random order 12,000 times.
P10 / P50 / P90: 10%, 50% and 90% chance the price ends below that level. Results assume you hold to expiry; the 500-run simulator below applies the coach's take-profit and stop rules. "Touch" is roughly twice the chance of finishing past the strike.
When you sell a call, you promise to sell your shares at the strike if the buyer asks. You get paid now. Use it on shares you own and would be happy to sell higher.
When you sell a put, you promise to buy shares at the strike if the buyer asks. You get paid now. Use it on stocks you'd be happy to own at a lower price.
This is how the option chain typically looks in brokerage platforms (for example NBDB, Questrade, Wealthsimple or Schwab; not affiliated). Prices here are model estimates for learning; your platform shows the live ones. You receive the bid when you sell and pay the ask when you buy; a limit at the mid usually fills.
Each run is a random market path with realistic jumps, moving at the stock's actual recent volatility. The coach's rules are applied every day: take profit at 50%, stop at 3× the credit, close the day before expiry.
Beta: everything is free while we test. Prices shown are what we plan to charge.
