Rank strategies against your price, date and volatility assumptions.

Rank strategies for your market outlook

Set your target price or range, evaluation date and volatility assumptions, then compare ranked strategies.

  1. Where: search for a supported symbol and select it, then set a target price or price range. For a range, ROI ranking uses the average modeled outcome across it; also review the worst modeled range result.
  2. When: choose the target date, the day you expect the price to be there. Every expiration from that date out is scanned automatically, so the ranking tells you which expiration fits.
  3. Volatility: state the change in vol points you expect by that date, for all later expirations at once or per expiration. Then rank by Max chance, Max return on risk, or a blend. Chance always means modeled probability of profit at the target date, including in range mode.
  4. Use Filters for minimum chance and minimum return on risk (both default to 20%), maximum risk and Strategy expiration. Reset all filters restores the defaults while keeping your outlook and centering the ranking slider. Target date is when all results are evaluated; Strategy expiration filters when contracts expire. Calculation details explains automatic entry and quote-quality assumptions; commissions come from Settings. The quote timestamp stays visible.
  5. Compare the best quoted candidate from each strategy family and expand its alternatives. Cards show the profitable price intervals and distinguish estimated calendar or diagonal risk from defined maximum loss. Open an options structure in the Modeler with its quoted cost preserved. Return to restore your outlook, results and expanded alternatives. Older results refresh in the background while remaining visible.
