Single-leg options execution
and trade management.

SmarterStrike is a complete platform for single-leg options execution and trade management. Built and refined through thousands of trade lifecycle events. The system continuously evaluates the option chain, maintains a live set of pre-qualified contracts, and executes signals whether they originate from an external automated signal, an on-demand execution, or a SmarterStrike dashboard selection. Orders are submitted through execution settings designed to optimise fill quality, positions managed through configurable risk controls and automated exit logic, and results verified directly against broker execution records. Contract selection, execution, risk management, and reporting operate within a single integrated workflow.

How It Works

From signal to
broker-confirmed close.

Every trade follows the same sequence regardless of how the signal originates or which instrument is being traded.

01

Signal Received

A trade can originate from an external automated signal, a Smart Strikes dashboard selection, or an on-demand execution.

02

Contract Selected

Smart-qualified contracts are continuously screened and ranked using liquidity and execution-quality metrics. Qualifying contracts remain trade-ready and available for immediate execution.

03

Order Submitted

Every order passes through a pre-submission risk management layer and is validated before reaching the broker. Trades that do not meet configured thresholds are blocked automatically. The current production implementation is integrated with Interactive Brokers — orders are submitted via configurable execution algorithms designed to optimise fill quality.

04

Position Managed

The position is continuously monitored through configurable risk management controls and automated exit logic. Hard stops, trailing stops, profit protection, partial exits, manual closes, and end-of-day position handling operate automatically throughout the trade lifecycle.

05

Broker-Verified Close

Trade closure is verified directly through broker execution records. Commissions and realized P&L are reconciled, reporting is finalized, and a complete audit trail is maintained through CSV exports, automated trade notifications, and end-of-day summary emails.

All execution parameters are configurable from the dashboard at runtime. Changes take effect on subsequent trades without affecting any position already open. The dashboard is web-based and accessible from any browser, whether on desktop or mobile.

Signal Modes

Three ways to
initiate a trade.

All three entry modes route through the same execution engine. Contract qualification, execution, risk management, position management, reporting, and broker-verified trade closure operate within a single integrated workflow, regardless of how the trade originated.

AUTOMATED SIGNAL

Webhook / Automated Signal

SmarterStrike integrates with external signal generation and automation systems through a webhook interface. Upon receipt of a directional signal, contract selection, execution, risk management, and position monitoring begin automatically.

SmarterStrike

Smart Strikes

A continuously updated grid of pre-qualified option contracts, filtered and ranked using liquidity and execution-quality metrics. Each contract displays live volume, open interest, implied volatility, bid/ask pricing, and spread data. Contracts are continuously evaluated and maintained in a trade-ready state, allowing execution, risk management, position monitoring, and reporting to begin immediately upon selection.

ON-DEMAND

On-demand execution

Enter a ticker and direction, and SmarterStrike automatically identifies, selects, and executes a qualifying contract. Ideal for symbols outside the current pre-qualified strikes list or when execution is preferred without manually selecting a specific contract.

'Smarter'Trade-Ready Strikes

Contract screening
runs continuously.

SmarterStrike maintains a continuously updated inventory of trade-ready option contracts across configured symbols and expirations. Contracts are screened, qualified, and ranked using configurable pricing, spread, and liquidity criteria, while key market metrics such as volume, open interest, and implied volatility remain visible throughout the process. Contracts that fall outside the active criteria are automatically removed and replaced as market conditions evolve.

By continuously qualifying and maintaining trade-ready opportunities, SmarterStrike eliminates the need for post-signal contract discovery and enables immediate response to market events.

Trade Record

Recorded and verified
the moment a trade closes.

Every closed position is immediately reflected in the dashboard's Completed Trades panel and written to a structured master trade log. While the dashboard provides a concise operational view, the CSV preserves the complete trade record, including contract details, execution data, timestamps, entry and exit commissions, realized P&L, trade duration, position-sizing information, partial-exit history, entry method, execution method, and broker-verified trade outcomes.

All figures are sourced directly from broker execution records and verified before being committed to the trade log. The CSV accumulates across sessions, creating a persistent historical record suitable for reporting, reconciliation, performance analysis, and downstream research.

Live Recordings

SmarterStrike in
Action.

Demo videos of selected SmarterStrike trades. Each recording covers a different part of the execution cycle.

Platform Overview (SmartStrikes Manual Trade Entry): SPY Calls

Dashboard walkthrough: Strikes grid, pre-trade confirmation dialog, order entry, and post-fill position monitoring.

  • Trade-ready card selected. SPY call filled, commission confirmed via broker execution callback. Full fill details logged to dashboard and CSV
  • Partial exit fires automatically at the configured gain threshold (set conservatively for the demonstration). Configurable across multiple tiers; each tier defines a gain threshold and the percentage of the position to sell. The remaining position continues to run
  • The full exit is a profit-lock close. Once the trade secured a set realised gain, the system ensured that it sold the position on a pullback. Even if the remainder reverses fully, the overall trade is protected from loss. Unlike the standard stop-loss setting, this only arms after a defined profit level has been reached. The threshold is configurable
  • Partial sell and final close emails are shown delivered to Gmail for the demonstration and can be configured to any and multiple email addresses. Each email contains full trade details: contract, fill prices, quantity, commission, and P&L - the same data written to the CSV log (with the CSV recording even more trade details for future trade analysis)

Position Management (SmartStrikes Manual Trade Entry): TSLA Puts with a Trailing Stop Demo

Shows a TSLA PUT selected from a SmartStrikes card selection, through order entry, and into active position management. The video focuses on the trailing stop in operation and ends before the final close. The full exit and reconciliation sequence is covered in the Platform Overview recording above.

  • Smart Filtered trade-ready strike card selected. Order placed and confirmed via broker execution callback
  • Trail ladder activates. Floor steps up automatically as the position gains
  • Partial exit executes automatically at the configured threshold - drawdown gate active throughout
  • Dashboard panels visible throughout: open position, system activity log, SmartStrikes grid, and completed trades

End-of-Day Performance Reporting

The EOD report is selected, generated, and delivered by email directly from the dashboard.

  • Triggered by clicking the EOD Report button — the system generates a full session summary and sends it by email immediately
  • Report includes broker-verified trade reconciliation, realised P&L, commissions, win rate, trade statistics, execution history, and a complete session summary
  • Complete trade audit trail including all partial exits, fills, commissions, and realized P&L.
