For years, I've shared my actual trades publicly on this website. Full transparency has always been a cornerstone of Options Cafe—no cherry-picked winners, no hindsight trading, just the real results from real money. Course members already receive real-time email alerts whenever I open or close a position on my other strategies. Today, I'm excited to announce that Wheel Strategy trades are now part of that real-time alert system. Why I Went All-In on the Wheel Strategy If you've been following Options Cafe for a while, you know I've experimented with the Wheel Strategy on and off over the years.
Company Updates
If you've been following my real-time trade alerts through the Options Cafe course, you've probably noticed something strange over the past few months: my once-clockwork stream of Zero DTE SPX Iron Butterflies trades has turned into a trickle, and the few I have taken sometimes look nothing like the rigid rule set I teach in the course. I owe you an explanation, a quick look under the hood at what's been happening, and a roadmap of where we're headed.
Introduction Ever tried to learn options trading through scattered online resources like YouTube videos and ended up more confused than a chameleon in a bag of Skittles? You’re not alone. While the internet is a treasure trove of information, sorting through it to find valuable trading education can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack—without the haystack. That’s why we crafted our online course, which is as structured and thoughtful as a college curriculum, without the college cafeteria food.
TL;DR: Today I am announcing we are no longer accepting new customers on our trading platform. Current customers, don't worry nothing is changing for you.
I have some big news!! Today, we are officially announcing the launch of Options Cafe. You can now use our platform to make options trades via Tradier. No other trading platform allows you to discover, trade, and review your trades like Options Cafe. We have built Options Cafe from the ground up with one thing in mind — making multi-leg options trading a snap. Also, get commission-free stock and options trades.
Tradier is a powerful brokerage API that allows non-brokers to provide broker services. Let’s talk about why Options Cafe selected Tradier as our first official partner.
Say hello to Options Cafe! As the Founder and CEO of Stockpeer, and a tenured software developer, I am excited to announce that the Stockpeer.com blog is retiring and Options.Cafe is taking over. When I registered Stockpeer.com nearly 10 years ago, I had a much different vision. While I was trading options, at the time, stocks were my passion. Fast forward to today, and options have become the bulk of my trading activity.
Options Cafe backtester is here. Have you ever wondered how your options trading strategy would perform over time? I have, so I built a backtester. I wanted a way to simulate trading the options market day to day to see how well my strategies would have fared.
I treat my trading and investing as a business, and like any prudent business manager I am constantly seeking to trim costs while growing revenue. With options trading the biggest costs are the commissions your broker charges for every trade. So in the interest of taming those fees I built a tool to help you find the cheapest broker for particular options trading strategies: say hello to Broker Finder. I routinely review and compare the broker commissions I pay, and I have realized that no one broker is the cheapest for every transaction.
