How can we help?

You always start without real money and move up a level when you feel comfortable:

• SIM: prices are simulated and orders are internal. It shows how the bot works without depending on anything external, even with the market closed.
• PAPER: uses real market prices, but orders are internal: the bot records them and computes the result itself, without sending them to any broker. It shows how the strategies react to the real market.
• DEMO: uses real prices and sends orders to the broker's test environment (fake money). It is the closest thing to real trading: besides the strategies, it tests the broker connection, with its request limits, rejections and partial fills.
• LIVE: trades with real money in your account. It stays locked until you confirm three times and always shows a permanent banner.

SIM, PAPER and DEMO results do not guarantee LIVE results: with real money there is more slippage, more rejections and emotional pressure. Start LIVE with small amounts.

The US options market opens at 9:30 and closes at 16:00 New York time. Outside those hours the bot waits and only monitors, without sending requests to the broker. It resumes by itself 5 minutes before the open (9:25 ET) and starts trading at the entry time you set.

There are five profiles: Momentum (enters when the moving averages cross), VWAP bounce, Opening range breakout (first 15 minutes), 0DTE Scalping (same day, with a premium cap) and Swing (2 to 3 weeks). You can run several at once or pick just one. All of them go through the same risk manager.

An Intraday position closes by itself before the market closes. A Swing position can stay overnight and waits for its target, its stop or expiration. With Swing the market can open with a price gap against you, and that risk is yours.

You set the risk per trade, the maximum daily loss, the number of positions and the schedule. The risk manager enforces those limits and can block a trade even if a strategy proposes it. The emergency button pauses and can close everything.

Market closed · bot waiting: normal outside market hours. 429: the broker asked to space out requests; the bot slows down by itself. 403: the key or account lacks permission for that action. 417: the broker rejected the request because the market is out of session; it is logged once, not repeated. No contracts at the target delta: no contract met the rules; nothing is opened and it is not an error.

They are optional and per device. In the dashboard click “Notifications” and accept the permission. You will get alerts for market closed, pre-open and open. On iPhone and iPad first use Share → “Add to Home Screen” and open from that icon. If permission is blocked, change it in your browser's site settings.

DTE: days to expiration. Delta: how much the option price moves per dollar the underlying moves. Premium: what you pay for the contract. Strike: exercise price. 0DTE: an option that expires today.
