One signal a day. Two honest ways to trade it.

Every trading day the machine names a single Focus Setup — its highest-conviction stock across 800+. The Options Desk plays that one signal two ways — a leveraged at-the-money call and a defined-risk debit spread — and marks both to a live ledger. Every result posted, winners and losers alike.

Same signal, two ways to play it

Leverage, or defined risk. See both, side by side.

The same Focus call runs through both books every day, so you can watch the trade-off in real dollars instead of a textbook. One swings for the fences; the other clips a cheaper, steadier line.

Strategy 01 · Maximum leverage

The at-the-money call

Buy the ~30-day call at the money. You pay a premium — and that premium is the most you can lose.

Capped loss · uncapped upside
  • Uncapped upside. When the Focus name runs, the call runs harder — a fixed $100 in, uncapped on the way up. Every home run is posted in the live ledger, biggest first.
  • Hard floor. Max loss is the premium; every loss here is capped at $100 by construction.
  • The trade-off. You pay full premium and only 5 of the last 12 hit — the winners are built to dwarf the capped losses.

Strategy 02 · Defined & discounted

The debit call spread

Buy the ATM call, sell one 10% higher. Cheaper entry, capped payoff, risk defined to the penny.

Capped loss · capped upside
  • Cheaper by design. Selling the higher strike funds part of the call — so the same $100 buys more.
  • Higher hit rate. 7 of the last 12 landed (58%), with steadier, more consistent gains.
  • The trade-off. Upside is capped at the spread — no grand slam, but nearly the same total at lower cost and less drama.

The point: the same call, leveraged, made +$543; defined-risk, it made +$469 — for a fraction of the premium and a higher hit rate. The Desk shows you both, every day, so the choice is yours and the math is on the page.

How it's built

One signal in. Two honest ledgers out.

1

The Focus Setup fires

The pipeline scores the whole universe and names the single highest-conviction setup — the same call that anchors the Daily Brief.

2

Modeled as options

Priced with Black-Scholes on each name's realized volatility as an implied-vol stand-in — a modeled quote, clearly labeled, because live chain data isn't wired in yet.

3

The ledger grows

Payoff is the same archived 30-day forward return on our Track Record. Both books grow one honest row at a time — winners and losers alike.

What this is, stated plainly. The Options Desk is a modeled research tool, not a live trading signal and not investment advice. Premiums are Black-Scholes estimates using realized volatility as an implied-vol proxy — not real market quotes — because no historical options-chain data is connected yet. Payoffs use the same archived forward returns published on our Track Record. Options can and do expire worthless; a long call or debit spread can lose 100% of its premium. This is educational research to help you think about how a signal behaves with leverage and defined risk — the decisions, and the diligence, remain yours.
