Opportunity screening
Designed to narrow a universe of contracts down to the ones that match the structures and constraints you actually trade.
Options intelligence
Options intelligence built around risk.
GoOptions is being built around one question: what can this position lose? Every part of the platform — screening, structure comparison, sizing, entry and exit planning — is designed to answer that before a trade is placed rather than after.

The product
Every position, examined the same way.
A trade that looks good and a trade that survives a bad week are not the same trade. GoOptions is designed around one consistent analysis applied to every candidate, so the decision rests on the structure rather than on how the idea felt at the time. These are the workflows the platform is being built to support.
Strategy comparison
Built to put candidate structures side by side on the terms that matter — what each one costs, what each one risks, and where each one breaks.
Risk evaluation
Intended to establish what a position can lose before it is opened, and how that loss sits against the rest of the portfolio.
Position sizing
Designed to derive size from the loss you are prepared to take, rather than fitting the risk to a size chosen first.
Entry and exit planning
Built to record the conditions for getting in, the target for getting out, and the boundary that ends the trade — before the position exists.
Position monitoring
Designed to track open positions against the plan they were opened under, and surface the ones that have drifted away from it.
How it works
Six steps, in the same order.
The sequence is the discipline, and it is the workflow GoOptions is being built around. Deciding size before understanding loss, or entering before deciding how to leave, is how a reasonable idea turns into an unreasonable position.

Risk engine
Risk is the first question, not the last.
Most tools tell you what a trade might make. The harder and more useful question is what it can cost, how much of the portfolio it puts behind a single name, and whether it still fits the limits you set for yourself when you were thinking clearly.
The risk engine is being built to answer that question deterministically: the same position and the same policy should produce the same evaluation, every time. These are the controls the platform is designed around.
- Position risk. Designed so a maximum loss is computed from the structure itself rather than estimated.
- Portfolio exposure. Intended to show what a new position does to total exposure, before it is added rather than after.
- Concentration. Built to surface how much of the portfolio depends on a single underlying, and when that crosses a line you have drawn.
- Sizing policies. Size derived from an acceptable loss, so the limit sets the position instead of the position setting the limit.
- Loss boundaries. An explicit point at which a trade is over, decided while the position is still hypothetical.
- Policy checks. Designed so every candidate meets the same set of pre-trade checks, each reporting pass, review or block with its reason.
Strategy analysis
Structures the engine is built to evaluate.
A structure is only evaluated when its maximum loss can be computed exactly. There is deliberately no fallback that guesses at a shape the engine does not recognise, so this list is short on purpose and grows one reviewed calculator at a time. These four have calculators today.
Long calls
A defined-risk directional position, with the loss bounded by the premium paid.
Long puts
The same defined-risk treatment on the downside, evaluated on identical terms.
Debit call spreads
A two-leg structure with a bounded cost, classified and evaluated as one position rather than two.
Debit put spreads
The put-side counterpart, with the same exact maximum-loss treatment.
On the roadmapPlanned
Credit spreads, covered calls, cash-secured puts, iron condors, butterflies, calendars and diagonals. Each one requires its own reviewed maximum-loss calculator before it is offered, and none of them is available today.
Position monitoring
A plan you can be held toPlanned
A position is opened with conditions attached: a target, a loss boundary, a time limit. GoOptions is designed to hold that plan alongside the position and compare the two. Monitoring is on the roadmap and is not available today.
What it will not do is act for you. GoOptions places no orders, closes no positions and enforces no exit — the intent is to make drift visible and leave the decision where it belongs. Nothing here prevents a loss.
- Plan of record. The conditions a position was opened under, kept alongside the position rather than in your memory.
- Condition tracking. Targets, loss boundaries and time limits, checked against the position as it stands.
- Drift surfacing. Raising positions that have moved away from their plan, so attention goes where it is needed.
- Exposure over time. How concentration and total exposure change as positions are opened, adjusted and closed.
Research
Historical analysisPlanned
Research and historical analysis are on the roadmap and are not available today. They are described here so the direction is clear, not to suggest a capability that exists.
Decision history
A durable record of what was analysed, what was decided and what the policy checks said at the time.
Outcome review
Comparing how a position resolved against the plan it was opened under, to find where the process went wrong rather than where the market did.
Policy tuning
Reviewing which limits were repeatedly hit, so sizing and concentration policies can be adjusted deliberately.
Controls
Built so the careful path is the default one.
There is no certification, no completed third-party audit and no brokerage partnership being asserted here, because there is none. Invitation-only access, the second-factor requirement, per-person identity and account privacy are enforced today; the rest describes how the platform is designed to work.
Access by invitation
Accounts are created for a specific person by a household owner or admin. There is no public registration at any layer of the system.
A second factor, always
Every account verifies an authenticator code after its password. A password-only session opens nothing financial.
Your own identity
Each person signs in as themselves, with their own credentials and their own record of what they did.
Private by default
An account is visible to the person it belongs to. Access for anyone else is granted explicitly and can be withdrawn at any time.
Explicit limits
Designed so sizing and concentration policies are set deliberately and applied uniformly, rather than remembered case by case.
Recorded decisions
Permission changes are recorded in an audit trail, so what changed and who changed it stays answerable later.
Built around the question most tools ask last.

GoOptions is invitation only. Accounts are created for a specific person by a household owner or admin, and every one of them requires a second factor before it opens anything financial.
