You're not bad at this.
You're guessing in the dark.
You see the green print scroll past. You feel the move forming. You hesitate. Ten minutes later, the chart confirms what the tape already told you — and IV already crushed the entry you wanted.
The edge isn't knowing more. It's knowing what the dealers' map says, which structure fits it, and what you'll do when you see it — before the entry is gone.
That's the job. We're how you do it.
“Saw SPY grinding all morning. Didn't act because I ‘didn't have a thesis.’ Bought a call at 2:30 after the move — IV up, premium up. Got the direction right. Lost money.”
— every retail trader, every Tuesday
Four stops between
“I see something” and “I know what I'm doing.”
Most tools push signals at you. We push you forward — through the same loop a desk runs every day, in one app where every stop hands off to the next.
Scanner
Type a ticker. Scout reads the whole chain, scores every directional play, spread, iron condor and covered call it can build, and explains the one you pick: what it claims, why it scored, and what it pays at expiration.
- Four strategy families, one 0–100 Scout Score
- The market read pre-selects the structure that fits
- Plain English first; legs and Greeks a tap away
GEX
Call wall, put wall, gamma flip and expected move, drawn on the chart and centred on the walls, with an AI read of what dealers are positioned to do today.
- Levels on every US ticker, free
- 60-second refresh in market hours
- Heatmap and chart free on SPY and QQQ, every ticker on Trader
Advisor
Send a play, a gamma setup, a sweep or your watchlist. It pulls the chain and the levels, runs the screeners, searches the news, shows every step, and answers with a trade card whose numbers were computed, not typed.
- Five live tools plus web and X search
- Every step shown as it runs; stop any time
- Saved chats stored by OptionScout, not the model provider
Paper
Paper trade the play straight from the panel at live prices, watch it mark against the real tape, and track P/L and win rate before you put real money behind a setup.
- $25K practice portfolio on the free plan
- Win-rate and closed-trade analytics on Trader
- Trade journal and multiple portfolios on Pro
