What Optiverse is
One desktop app for the whole trade.
Optiverse is a desktop options platform for Windows and macOS. It connects to Interactive Brokers and tastytrade, with more brokers being added. Building trades, dealer positioning, live position monitoring, portfolio risk and hedging, and a trade journal with replay all run in one workspace, on your broker’s live data.
Build any trade
Build any structure and see its risk profile instantly.
- Option chain with expected-move and P&L-at-expiration stripes
- Multi-leg builder: move strikes, widths, quantities and expirations in bulk
- Payoff with today’s and expiration curves, probability of profit and buying power
- 60 ready-made templates, from verticals and iron condors to calendars and ratios
ScannerPremium
Scan thousands of versions of a trade to find the ones that fit your criteria.
- Leg ranges by delta, width or distance from the price, on the expirations you pick
- Rules such as delta-neutral, minimum credit, maximum loss, buying power and probability of profit
- Ranked by time decay or expected value per dollar at risk, or your own formula
- Load a result straight into the Strategy Builder
Charts
Watch the market and your trades on the same chart.
- Your strikes, break-evens and payoff drawn on the price
- A marker for every open, roll and close
- Saved layouts of several charts that switch symbols together
- Studies, drawings and volume profiles, and a chart in its own window for a second monitor
Live position monitoring
Mission Control shows every open position on one screen.
- Cards with a live payoff chart, a table, or a map of every position by days to expiration
- Totals for P&L, today’s P&L, max risk and net Greeks
- A warning when a trade drifts, a short strike is tested or it flips direction
- Roll, close or merge from each position, with its working orders shown
Dealer positioningPremium
See where market makers have to hedge, strike by strike.
- GEX, Vanna, Charm and DEX from your own broker’s open interest, for any optionable ticker
- Key levels in plain English: Call Wall, Put Wall, Gamma Wall, Flip Point, Max Pain and Vol Trigger
- Magnet: how much dealers must buy or sell at each price, drawn as valleys and ridges
- It supports decisions; it doesn’t forecast prices
Portfolio risk and hedgingPremium
Portfolio risk measured by full revaluation, not approximations.
- Every option repriced across 16,384 scenarios, on your own computer
- Expected Shortfall and VaR, with a daily risk limit for each account
- Today’s portfolio replayed on the ten worst days of the last ten years
- Hedge Finder sizes a hedge to your budget and shows the before and after. Nothing is sent until you decide
Trade journal with replay
Review every closed trade and replay how it played out.
- The Flight Log keeps every closed, expired or settled trade, after commissions
- Rate each trade, write down the lesson and tag your mistakes
- Replay the trade step by step: the payoff, the open legs, the price and the P&L
- The Observatory breaks your results down by strategy, weekday and days to expiration
AI assistantsPremium
Ask about your portfolio in plain English.
- Connect Claude, ChatGPT and others; they work from the app’s live data and calculations
- Ask where your portfolio is most exposed, or whether you’re within your daily risk limit
- Ask for a protective put, a put spread or a collar, built and checked in the app
- An assistant can prepare an order, but nothing goes to your broker until you review it and press Send
Share a trade with a code
Send a trade as a code, with no file to pass around.
- Share open positions or a trade you modeled
- Whoever has the code previews it, then imports it or opens it in their own strategy builder
- Your broker, account numbers and private notes are never shared
- It’s how Alert Service members open my trades. Creating codes is part of Premium
Features marked Premium are in Optiverse’s Premium plan, which the 37-day trial includes.

Questions
Optiverse FAQ
Which brokers does it support?
Interactive Brokers (through TWS or IB Gateway) and tastytrade. More are being added, starting with Schwab (thinkorswim) and Tradier.
Is it safe to connect my account?
It uses the brokers’ official APIs, never stores your broker password, and never trades on its own or moves funds. Orders go out only when you confirm them. Risk calculations run on your own computer.
Starter or Premium?
Starter covers the trading workspace, charts, Active Trader, order routing and the full journal with replay. Premium adds dealer positioning with Magnet, the portfolio risk engine with hedge proposals, SmartFill, the trade map, replay on recorded prices, P&L attribution and AI assistants. The 37-day trial is Premium.
How do I get the 37-day trial?
Enter your email at optionsincomeacademy.com/optiverse/code and both codes appear on the next page, each with a button that opens Optiverse with that code applied. Then create your account.
Mac or Windows?
Both. It’s a desktop app.
Do you earn a commission?
Yes. Steve Ganz is under contract with Optiverse as a beta tester, launch partner and affiliate, and earns a commission when you subscribe with his code. You never pay more than buying direct from Optiverse.
