OPTIONS PROFIT CALCULATOR: Find and edit option strategies in real-time with our options profit calculator to gain a visual understanding of your trades. OptionStrat's strategy visualizer is used to find the potential profit and loss at various prices, as well as show how your trade is affected by implied volatility, time decay, and other factors. The strategy visualizer makes it easy to scroll through various strikes and expirations to build an options strategy. Nearly any strategy can be created, including strategies with underlying stocks like covered calls, or multiple expirations such as double diagonals. Over 50 strategy templates are available to choose from, each with a handy setup chart and description. STRATEGY OPTIMIZER: Automatically calculate the best strategies given a target price and expiration date. The options optimizer will search through thousands of potential trades to find which strategies maximize returns or chance of profit (or somewhere in between). UNUSUAL OPTIONS FLOW: OptionStrat Flow scans the market to uncover large and unusual trades as they happen, giving you insight into trades by institutions and other smart money. Not only do we show large call or put purchases, but we detect if the transaction showed urgency or aggression from the buyer or seller to show you both sides of the market. We are the first to provide unusual options activity for complex strategy types. OptionStrat Flow detects spreads, condors, and other advanced strategies and categorizes them as bearish, bullish, neutral, or directional.

Research the market. Build conviction. Invest with a clearer process. TopTier Strategy helps you understand stocks, compare opportunities, build model portfolios, and organize your investments in one place. Research stocks with more context: - Search any stock by company name or ticker. Each stock report brings together the information investors commonly need to evaluate a company, including valuation, financial performance, profitability, cash flow, balance sheet strength, analyst expectations, earnings calls, dividends, buybacks, insider activity, and recent news. See what is driving a business, where it may be improving, and what risks deserve closer attention. Find your next investment idea: - Explore stocks through categories such as Undervalued, High Growth, Top Rated, Fundamentals, Profitable Growth, and Trending. Whether you are looking for value, growth, profitability, income, or companies gaining market attention, TopTier Strategy gives you a focused starting point for further research. Compare opportunities in context: - A stock can look attractive on its own and still be a poor fit for a portfolio. Use Portfolio Builder to explore hypothetical portfolios based on public institutional holdings data and eligible community portfolio sources. Choose a strategy, risk profile, and target portfolio size, then review the proposed holdings, allocation, sector exposure, and diversification. Keep your investments organized: - Easily connect your brokerage, Roth IRA, 401K, and other accounts to track everything in one place. We support Robinhood, Fidelity, Vanguard, and more! Your dashboard helps you follow portfolio value, allocations, performance, daily movement, and long term projections while keeping your research connected to the investments you actually own. Save ideas and stay informed: - Create watchlists for companies you own, are researching, or may want to revisit later. Organize stocks by theme, follow price movement, and receive notifications when something needs your attention. TopTier Strategy is built for investors who want a more organized way to research stocks and think through investment decisions. Pro access provides additional capacity for research, portfolio building, saving, and syncing within the app. Important disclosures: - TopTier Strategy is a stock research and portfolio analysis platform provided for informational and educational purposes only.
