Learn options trading, then practice with virtual money. OptionsKing combines short lessons, quizzes and an options paper trading simulator with a trade checker for covered calls, cash-secured puts and credit spreads. LEARN OPTIONS STEP BY STEP Start with your first options contract and work through 107 lessons in 11 series. Study calls and puts, strike prices, expiration, assignment, premium, collateral and the Greeks. Worked examples explain the arithmetic. Each lesson ends with five questions, and missed questions return for review. Follow a learning path, continue where you left off and track completed lessons in Progress. Bundled lessons remain readable without an internet connection. PAPER TRADE WHAT YOU LEARN Practice with virtual cash. Explore a strategy, record what you expect to happen and follow the paper position through its outcome. Review the result and use the replay to explore a different stock price. Lesson practice missions connect the explanation to a paper trade. Paper trading is simulated practice. No real money is deposited or traded. Simulated outcomes do not predict live fills or investment results. CHECK A TRADE BEFORE YOU PLACE IT Type the stock price, strike and premium your broker shows for a covered call, a cash-secured put, or a put or call credit spread. Compare up to three strikes at once. Each check gets a deterministic confidence score from 0 to 100, based only on the numbers you enter, and plain answers: what you'd keep, what the strike means, what assignment costs and what could go wrong if the stock moves against you. Enter an earnings date before expiration and the trade is ruled out. Tap unfamiliar terms for an explanation. There is no minimum score: a weak trade still gets a number. A confidence score is not a probability of profit or a promise that a trade will succeed. RUN THE NUMBERS The Calculators tab works out a covered call, a cash-secured put, the wheel, a roll, break-even, annualized return or position size, with a profit and loss chart. FOLLOW YOUR PRACTICE Progress brings together lessons completed, reviews due and paper trades practiced. Sign in to sync your saved progress and settings across devices. An optional daily reminder keeps your lessons going. AVAILABLE ON IPHONE AND IPAD OptionsKing is free to use. The current trading mode is Paper. It does not connect to a brokerage account or place, modify or cancel real orders. It shows no market quotes: you bring the prices from your broker, and checking a trade needs an internet connection. OptionsKing is an educational and informational tool, not a financial adviser or broker. Options trading carries substantial risk of loss, including assignment and losses larger than the premium received. It is not suitable for every investor. Confirm prices and contract terms with your broker before making a real trade.

OptionClaws is an options research app: scan the whole market for trades, build and stress-test any strategy, let the optimizer suggest a position for your price target, and keep a journal of what you actually traded. TOP TRADES A short ranked list of today's ideas across strategies (high-probability puts, wheel candidates, iron condors, covered calls and more), picked with liquidity and fill guardrails. Tap any one to see the full breakdown. STRATEGY BUILDER Start from a template or add legs straight from the option chain: calls, puts and shares, up to multiple expirations. See the payoff at expiration and on any date before it, breakevens, max profit and max loss, probability of profit and net greeks, and adjust strikes until the trade fits. OPTIMIZER Enter a symbol, where you think it will be and by when. The optimizer prices spreads, condors, butterflies, calendars and diagonals across the option chain and ranks them by return at your target, chance of profit, or a blend of the two. Set a budget or a max loss to keep it within your risk. WHOLE-MARKET SCANNER 23 strategies across every optionable stock and ETF: covered calls, cash-secured and naked puts, credit and debit spreads, iron condors, straddles, strangles, butterflies, ratio spreads, calendars and diagonals. Every row shows credit or debit, return on risk, probability of profit, max loss, breakevens and days to expiration. CUSTOM MULTI-LEG SCANS Build your own strategy, up to 4 legs picked by delta, percent from the stock price or strike width, and scan for it across the market, your watchlist or a list. 80+ FILTERS, NOW WITH FUNDAMENTALS Delta, IV rank, probability of profit, return on risk, liquidity, earnings and dividend dates, RSI and moving averages, plus fundamentals such as P/E, EPS and revenue growth, payout ratio and profitability. Start from 28 curated presets or save your own scans. TRADE JOURNAL Log trades by hand, straight from a scan or the builder, or import your broker's CSV. Close, roll and settle with a review step, then see win rate, expectancy, profit factor, drawdown, an equity curve, a P/L calendar and breakdowns by strategy, symbol, DTE and more. Paper trade any idea without real money. VOL REACTION See how a stock's implied volatility usually reacts to its price moves, and find the names whose IV broke that pattern today. LISTS AND WATCHLIST Star tickers, build named lists, or scan the members of a major index. EVERY TRADE EXPLAINED Payoff chart, greeks, breakevens, expected value, ATR scenarios and plain-English context on what the trade is and when it works. DATA Live stock prices during market hours, options data refreshed intraday. CONNECT YOUR AI Use OptionClaws from Claude, Grok and other MCP-compatible assistants through our MCP integration, and get real scan results back in the chat. ONE SUBSCRIPTION One Premium subscription unlocks every feature. Choose monthly or annual; current prices are shown in the app. OptionClaws is a research tool, not an investment advisor. Options involve substantial risk and are not suitable for every investor. You can lose more than your initial investment on some strategies. Nothing in the app is a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and past results do not predict future results. Subscriptions are billed to your Apple ID and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://optionclaws.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://optionclaws.com/privacy
