Every step, as it happens.
Other assistants make you stare at three dots. The Advisor shows each thing it reaches for as its own line, with how long it took, so you can tell a slow answer from a stuck one and stop it when you've seen enough. Below: a real chat, recorded and sped up.

Reading price, RSI and trend
Live price with pre- and post-market, the change on the day, RSI(14), the 50-day average, the company profile and the latest headlines.
Checking gamma levels
Call wall, put wall, gamma flip, net GEX and the expected move — the same levels you see on the GEX page, pulled for the ticker in question.
Pulling the option chain
Bid, ask and mid, the Greeks, IV, open interest and volume for the strikes and expiries that matter to your question.
Screening contracts for setups
OptionScout's own screeners — directional plays, vertical spreads, iron condors, covered calls — ranked by Scout Score.
Searching recent coverage
Web and X search for what moved the name. The sources it used sit under the answer, first three open, the rest a tap away.
Building the recommendation
Trade cards drawn only from what the screener returned. If it can't back a number with a calculation, it can't put it on a card.
See it. Send it. Get the plan.
Every market-data tool in OptionScout has a button that hands what you're looking at to the Advisor. It arrives with the context filled in and the first question already asked. You type nothing.
Send one play, or the top 20 from a scan, and ask it to rank them against your thesis and your risk budget.
Send the walls, the flip and the net gamma. It tells you what the regime means today and which structures fit it.
Send a sweep. It reads whether it was bought at the ask or sold at the bid, and what that implies for the chart.
Send every ticker at once and get a read on the whole list before the open.
Computed, not generated.
A general chatbot will happily invent a strike and a premium. This one is wired so it can't.
The model can't type a number on a trade card
Cards only carry plays the screener returned. Entry, max profit, max loss, breakevens and probability of profit come from the calculation, not the conversation.
Probability of profit is a real calculation
A lognormal estimate measured from the actual break-even of the structure — not a rule of thumb, and not something the model can round up.
Thin quotes get flagged
If a live bid/ask isn't available, it prices from last trades and says so on the card, so you check the fill with your broker before you trust it.
Every read you've run, still there.
Close the tab mid-thought and the whole thread is waiting for you — the levels, the trade cards, the sources it checked. Yesterday's conversation about your SPY hedge is right there to continue when the picture changes.
Trader keeps your 25 most recent conversations. Pro keeps every one. On the free plan, conversations last for the session.
Ask it what you'd ask the desk.
Real questions, real strikes, real prices — and a read on the regime before it picks a structure.
“What's the gamma setup on QQQ this week, and is there a defined-risk way to play it?”
Reads the walls and the flip, runs the screeners, and comes back with the spreads that fit the regime.
“I'm bullish on NVDA into earnings, $500 max risk.”
Debit spreads and long calls ranked by Scout Score, with the expected IV crush accounted for.
“Sell premium on SPY, neutral, 30 days.”
Iron condors and short strangles compared by probability of profit, max loss and theta.
“What moved AMD today, and does the flow agree?”
Searches the news, checks the tape and the trend, and tells you whether the setup still holds.
“I own 100 AAPL. What's the covered call this month?”
Strikes and expiries with premium yield and assignment probability, priced from the live chain.
“Rank the top plays from my SPY scan.”
Sent straight from the Scanner. It ranks what the screener already found against your thesis and budget.
From a question to a trade card, with the work shown.
Ask in plain English — or send a page over
Ticker, outlook, timeframe, budget. Or hit “Ask the AI Advisor” on a play, a GEX read, a sweep or your watchlist and the question is already written.
It gathers what it needs
Live price and trend, gamma levels, the option chain, the screeners, recent coverage. Each step shows as its own line while it runs.
It reasons through it
Grok 4.6 with reasoning on, working from the data it just pulled. Stop it any time; what it has so far stays on screen.
You get a trade card
Entry, max profit, max loss, probability of profit, breakevens, the legs with their Greeks and a P/L chart — all computed by the screener.
Ask follow-ups
Cheaper, less risk, a different expiry, a different structure. It holds the whole thread and the context it came in with.
Come back later
On Trader and Pro the conversation saves to your account. Reopen it days later with the levels and cards intact and keep going.
