For people new to options
Pick a stock you know. Option Coach walks you through one example trade in plain English: what you'd enter, what you could earn, the most you could lose, and how it plays out if the market drops or rallies.
Invite-only beta. An education tool, not investment advice.
Illustrative example with hypothetical numbers. Not a recommendation.
Why Option Coach
Screeners show hundreds of numbers and assume you already know what delta and implied volatility mean. Option Coach shows one trade at a time and explains every part of it.
Answer three questions and get a single worked example with the strike, the expiry, the cash you'd receive and the worst case in dollars.
Press play and watch the trade through a calm week, a sharp drop or a rally, with the coach telling you what each moment means.
The option chain and order ticket are shown the way your broker displays them, with the exact cells and buttons highlighted.
How it works
Income on shares you already own, getting paid while you wait to buy a stock cheaper, or income with a fixed maximum loss.
Choose from 500+ US stocks and ETFs, then how far from today's price the strike should be. Farther means safer odds and a smaller premium.
See the odds, the worst case, a replay through different markets, a year of history and the exact order to place, all in plain English.
What you get
Watch the price move, the trade's value change and the coach's status update as each day passes. When a rule would close the trade, you see why.
Within 0.7% of your strike. No action yet: the rules decide, not nerves.
Like an ensemble weather forecast, Option Coach blends what option prices imply, how the stock has actually been moving, and a replay of its real history. Then it tells you plainly whether there's an edge, or not.
See the option chain with the cells to use marked SELL and BUY, plus filled-in tickets for opening the trade and closing it later. It works with any broker; Option Coach never places trades itself.
| Action | Qty | Strike | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sell to Open | 1 | 740 | Put |
| Buy to Open | 1 | 735 | Put |

Pricing
Everything is free while we're in beta. These are the prices we plan to charge after launch.
Questions
No. Option Coach is an education and analysis tool. It shows the same analysis to everyone who picks the same settings, and it doesn't know your finances or goals. It isn't registered as an adviser, and it never tells you what to buy or sell.
No. It never connects to your brokerage account. It shows you what a trade involves and what the order would look like, so you can decide for yourself and place it with your own broker if you choose.
500+ US stocks and ETFs, including the S&P 500 and the most-traded funds. During the beta, 10 popular names plus a weekly free pick are fully open, with the rest in Pro.
The beta uses delayed end-of-day prices and option volatility, refreshed regularly. Always check live quotes in your broker before trading.
No. Every number comes with a plain-English explanation, and a glossary covers terms like strike, premium, delta and assignment.
Yes. Option Coach is built in Toronto. It covers US-listed stocks and ETFs today, which most Canadian brokers can trade, and Canadian-listed options are on the roadmap.
The first 100 founding members lock in Pro at $9 a month for their first year once the full version launches. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when it opens. You can cancel any time before launch.
