Risk less. Make more. SpreadSniper picks the options spread with the best risk/reward for your market view—in seconds. THE PROBLEM WITH OPTIONS Most options apps drop you in front of a wall of strike chains and Greeks. You guess which strikes to buy, overpay on premium, and watch your risk balloon. Even when you're right about the stock, the wrong spread eats your gains. THE FIX SpreadSniper builds the optimal spread for your prediction. Tight risk, real upside, every time. 1. Pick a stock 2. Draw what you think will happen with one of 5 tools: • Target — "It hits this price" • Range — "It trades between these prices" • Floor — "It doesn't drop below this" • Ceiling — "It doesn't rise above this" • Trend — "It's heading this direction" 3. Tap Build Spread 4. Get the precise strikes, expiration, max gain, max loss, and breakeven—optimized for the best ROI given your view. WHY YOU MAKE MORE For the same market view, there are dozens of spreads you could place. Most are overpriced, mispriced, or have the wrong risk shape. SpreadSniper picks the one with the best ratio of max gain to max loss—so when you're right, you win bigger, and when you're wrong, you lose less. WHY YOU RISK LESS Every spread SpreadSniper recommends has defined, capped risk. You know exactly what you could lose before you ever place the trade. No surprise margin calls. No unlimited downside. WHAT YOU GET WITH PRO • Unlimited optimized spread recommendations • 5 visual drawing tools • Real-time options chain data • Profit/loss visualization on the chart • Copy-ready order details for any broker • Save and revisit your trades • Share trade ideas WORKS WITH YOUR BROKER SpreadSniper generates copy-ready order details that translate easily into Thinkorswim, Interactive Brokers, Schwab, Tastytrade, Robinhood, Fidelity, E*TRADE, Webull, and other major brokers.
