OptionsPlay
optionsplay.com
Guided options platform that turns a market view into a structured trade, screens covered-call and cash-secured-put income, and alerts to roll or close.
What it is
OptionsPlay is built around a process rather than raw data. You start with a view on a stock, and the strategy builder proposes a structured options trade with the risk explained in plain language. Daily trade ideas are grouped by strategy type, income screeners rank stocks by the yield available from covered calls and cash-secured puts, and position alerts tell you when a trade has reached the point where the plan says hold, roll or close.
The same engine is licensed to brokers: the company lists integrations with Fidelity, Firstrade, TradeStation, Questrade and BMO, and some brokerage customers may already see OptionsPlay tools inside their account. The standalone subscription adds weekly live education, weekly macro research and trade-signal review sessions.
Pricing is simple. After a 14-day free trial with no card required, it costs $100 a month or $750 a year. Both plans carry the same core tools; the annual plan adds master classes. You can cancel at any time and keep access to the end of the billing cycle, but the pricing page states that no refunds are given, so the trial is the time to decide. OptionsPlay does not place trades itself: you take the trade ticket to your own broker.
