## What is OptionsKing?

Selling options for income sounds simple. Own 100 shares, sell a call against them. Or hold cash, sell a put, and get paid while you wait to buy lower. The hard part is choosing. Twenty stocks on a watchlist means thousands of strike and expiry pairs, the fattest premium is usually the riskiest, and most screeners sort by yield and leave you to find out which is which.

OptionsKing does that sorting and shows its reasoning on every card.

WHO IT IS FOR

- You own 100 shares of something and want to sell covered calls against them
- You hold cash, would happily buy a stock lower, and want to be paid to wait
- You're new to options and want to learn the wheel on paper before real money is at stake
- You're tired of screeners that rank by yield and nothing else

WHAT YOU GET

- Top options across your watchlist: covered calls, cash-secured puts, the wheel, and defined-risk spreads (verticals, iron condors, iron butterflies, broken-wing)
- A confidence score on every card. 0 to 100, deterministic, with the whole card tinted green, amber or red to match, so you can scan the list without reading it
- A list sorted by that score, highest first, and by nothing else. Want the ones that also pay well? Filter by ROI and the order stays by confidence
- The numbers before you commit: premium, the chance you keep it, the chance of assignment, fill odds at the suggested limit, max loss on a spread, and what happens to your shares or cash if it goes the other way
- A hard stop on earnings. A confirmed earnings date inside the expiry window rules a trade out, whatever it scores
- A glossary on the words themselves. Tap keep, assign, fill or any of 31 terms right on the card
- A Learn tab with 107 lessons in 11 series, from your first contract to the Greeks, readable with no signal. Each ends with a five-question check, and the questions you miss come back for review
- Paper trading with a virtual balance and the same scan. Place, keep, get assigned, book the result, with nothing on the line
- A Progress tab that counts what you have learned: lessons done, reviews due, and the paper trades you have practiced
- A ledger of what you actually collected. The Income view is built from your own filled trades, never from what the app suggested
- Collateral checks, so you can't record a covered call on shares you don't hold, or a put your cash can't back
- One pick each weekday at 9am Pacific, if you want it. On or off in Settings
- App lock with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode

WHAT IT WON'T DO

- Connect to your broker. No account to link, no credentials, no order it can place. You place every trade yourself
- Hide a bad week. There is no quality floor, so on a quiet market the top pick can be a weak one, and its score says so
- Promise you a number. No projected yields, no model track record. The only performance figures in the app are the ones your own trades produced
- Backtest, build custom filters or bet on direction. It does one strategy family and stops at the decision

Not financial advice. OptionsKing is an informational tool, not a financial adviser or a broker. It never places, modifies, or cancels a trade, and it never reads a brokerage account. Options trading carries substantial risk of loss, including assignment and losses larger than the premium you received, and is not suitable for every investor. Market data is delayed by roughly 15 minutes, so confirm the live price with your broker before you place anything. Past outcomes do not predict future results, and every figure shown reflects only your own recorded trades.

## Frequently asked questions about OptionsKing

### What is OptionsKing?

OptionsKing is a finance app designed to help users learn and practice options trading strategies. It provides tools to score potential trades, understand the associated risks and rewards, and simulate trades with a virtual balance.

### Does OptionsKing connect to my broker?

No, OptionsKing does not connect to your broker. You will need to place all trades yourself after analyzing them within the app. This ensures your brokerage credentials remain private.

### How does OptionsKing score trades?

Each candidate strike gets a deterministic score from 0 to 100, blended with the return on capital. This score helps you understand the quality of a potential trade, even in a thin market.

### Can I practice trading with OptionsKing?

Yes, OptionsKing offers a paper trading feature with a virtual balance. You can run the entire trading loop, including placing, managing, and booking results, without any real money at stake.

### Does OptionsKing have ads?

No, OptionsKing does not contain advertisements. The app is free to use without any ad interruptions.

### What options strategies does OptionsKing support?

OptionsKing scans for premium-selling trades including covered calls, cash-secured puts, the wheel strategy, and defined-risk structures like verticals, iron condors, iron butterflies, and broken-wing spreads.

### How does OptionsKing handle earnings dates?

OptionsKing will refuse to record a trade with a confirmed earnings date inside the expiry window, regardless of its score. This is a hard stop to mitigate risk.

### What devices is OptionsKing available on?

OptionsKing is available on iPhone and iPad devices, making it accessible for users on the go.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.29 — 2026-10-11

Learn has been rewritten to help you understand and apply options concepts.

All 107 lessons now include clear learning goals, worked examples, and a question with an explanation you can reveal to check your understanding.

Updated lesson quizzes, glossary definitions, paper-trading explanations, and interactive examples connect the ideas to practical decisions and their risks.

Fixed video playback in Learn on iOS.

### 1.0.28 — 2026-10-08

NEW
Home is now called Practice, and Income is now called Progress.

Progress now shows what you have learned, beside your income: lessons done, review questions due, how your answers are going, and your paper trades.

Every lesson check now has five questions. The last two ask you to use the lesson on a new example, so you find out whether it really clicked.

Tap Learn while you are already in Learn and it takes you back to the start.

FIXED
Corrected worked examples in several lessons.
Bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 1.0.27 — 2026-10-07

NEW
Tap the daily pick notification and that pick opens on its own screen, right away. No more waiting for Home to load first.

A trade's confidence score is now the same for everyone. Your cash and shares no longer move it, so a pick scores the same in Paper and in Live.

Ordering more contracts than the market shows at the bid? The Place screen now tells you the order may only partly fill at your price.

FIXED
Bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 1.0.26 — 2026-10-06

NEW
Learn is now a course. A path takes you from what an option is to spreads, one short unit at a time, and Continue picks up where you stopped reading.

Every lesson ends with a three-question check that explains each answer. Questions come back for a quick review a few days later, then less often as they stick. Progress shows how far you've got. No streaks, no points.

Your progress follows your account. Signed in, it's on every device. Signed out, it stays on your phone and joins your account the first time you sign in.

Practice missions ask you to try what a unit taught with a paper trade. When a paper trade expires, "What happened" walks through how it ended, in your own numbers.

One learning reminder a week, Sunday evening, with your next lesson or the questions due for review. Turn it off in Settings.

Notifications now open what they're about. Tap the note about trades that settled and you land on what happened to them. And the evening before an option you sold expires close to its strike, you'll get a heads-up.

FIXED
Bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 1.0.25 — 2026-09-30

NEW
Filters now go looking for trades that fit them. Set a range for strike, return, keep chance or fill chance, close the sheet, and we search your whole watchlist for options inside it, instead of trimming the list you already had.

Top Options shows the best trade of each kind for every stock: one covered call, one cash-secured put, one of each spread. No more three puts on the same stock a strike apart, and the list is no longer cut off at a set number.

Three new guides in Learn: options strategies for small accounts, what nobody tells you about selling options, and options trading psychology.

FIXED
Bug fixes and performance improvements.
