Optionality is a fintech brokerage firm with a modern mobile app that provides a retail trader with a streamlined tool to trade option spreads. These spreads…
Here’s how it works:
Prepackaged trading
No more confusing options chains! Optionality uses proprietary algorithms to pre-package option trades into a curated menu that shows max loss, max gain, breakeven price, and percentage move required. Alternatively, you can also customize your own option spread by using the Option Builder tool. The menu is filtered for liquidity using internal volume and open interest data.
Options-specific analysis
Keep track of the metrics that matter most. See the big picture before placing a trade using AI market sentiment, risk levels, bullish/bearish indicators, the Greeks, and other tools that can help find the right trade for you.
Risk buckets
Help control your market exposure by choosing between 3 risk levels before executing your options trade: Low, Medium, and High. Explore up to five different strike prices per risk bucket, all with unique risk/reward profiles to determine which one suits you best.
Trade options on any public company
Choose from any public company or ETF and explore contract expirations from one week up to one year. Navigate volatile markets, choose your risk level, and find trades that resonate with you. Single calls & puts coming soon!
Affordability
Use Wall Street level strategies to your advantage. With an average trade cost of around $35-$75, our option spreads can be less expensive than single calls/puts. Additionally, spreads require smaller price movements in the market to break even, meaning they can be less affected by shifts in the Greeks.

“*Pre-packaged spreads are option spreads formed by our algorithm and offered as a package.”
“A bull call spread is an options trading strategy designed to benefit from a stock’s limited increase in price. The strategy uses two call options to create a range consisting of a lower strike price and an upper strike price. The bullish call spread helps to limit losses of owning stock, but it also caps the gains.”
“An expiration date in derivatives is the last day that derivative contracts, such as options or futures, are valid. On or before this day, investors will have already decided what to do with their expiring position.”
“Positive and Negative Snippets are a proprietary output from our partner Stocksnips that aggregated the total amount of media mentions of a certain stock and takes the percentage of those that are positive or negative, as in the example shown above referencing 71% positive”
“As with all your investments, you must make your own determination as to whether an investment in any particular security or securities is right for you based on your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation.” · “0.50 per contract”
*Options trading involves a high degree of risk and may involve total loss of investment. Options spreads, specifically, offer the benefit of projected maximum gain and loss positions (defined above as “defined risk trades” and “defined outcomes”, but in rare situations may result in gain/loss in excess of the projected cap. Optionality has several mechanisms to greatly reduce these occurrences, but we cannot guarantee they will never happen.
