Strategy
Strategy Creation
Strategies are created in trade templates. These allow any number of legs that can be configured independently or dependently. For options you define fixed offsets or search criteria such as premium, delta or percentage distance to the ATM option per leg. For equities and ETFs you set quantity, trading days and entry time in a table of their own, with a stop loss and profit target per row.
- Simple and complex options strategies: Iron Condors, Verticals, Butterflies, Calendars, Ratios
- Equities and ETFs: rule-based entries and exits by your system
- Any number of legs per template
- Fixed offsets or dynamic search criteria (premium, delta, % ATM)
- Multiple strategies in parallel: independence from single approaches
Underlyings
Dynamic Underlying Search and Multi-Currency
Instead of a fixed list, OptionsApp offers a dynamic underlying search. You freely choose from the underlying pool which instrument to write options on, or which stock or ETF to trade directly. Stocks, ETFs and indices can be added with a configurable trading class. Account currency is available in USD, CHF and EUR, converted at the ECB exchange rate.
- Dynamic search: add stocks, ETFs and indices with a configurable trading class, not limited to a fixed list
- Index underlyings: SPX, SPXW, NDX (NDXP), RUT, XSP
- ETF underlyings: SPY, QQQ, IWM, GLD, SLV plus sector ETFs (XLC, XLE, XLF, XLI, XLK, XLV)
- Single stocks as underlyings: NVDA, AAPL, TSLA and more
- Options on futures (ES) plus direct trading of equities and ETFs
- Multi-currency: account in USD, CHF and EUR, converted at the ECB exchange rate
- Single-position P&L stays visible in the instrument's native currency

Rules
Entry & Exit Conditions
Entry and exit conditions are the heart of rule-based trading. They determine when a strategy is opened or closed, based on technical, price-based, or time-dependent conditions.
- Technical indicators: SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, ADX, DMI
- Market logic: VIX threshold, Intraday Movement, Movement Since Opening, Expected Move
- Dynamic rules: delta-based entries and exits, Short/Long Ratio
- Webhook triggers (e.g. from TradingView) for external signals
- Filters (point-in-time check) and triggers (time-window watch) can be logically combined
Risk
P&L Actions & Risk Management
Your risk rules are executed automatically through P&L actions. All common and advanced exit mechanisms can be individually configured per leg or for the entire strategy. The goal: limit losses by fixed rules instead of reacting on gut feeling.
- Stop Loss: Percentage or absolute, with adjustable trailing stop
- Profit Target: Staged profit targets (e.g., 30% and 50% separately)
- Early Exit: Automatic closing before expiration (remaining time or clock time)
- Delta Exit & Movement Exit: Dynamic response to market changes
- ITM Protection: Protection against uncovered short legs
- Re-Entry: Automatic reopening after stop, profit target, or expiration
- Consistent execution of your rules on every trading day
